Tell me a little bit about yourself.

Discussion: This seemingly simple question can actually be the most daunting and the most difficult to answer! It is, however, an open ended opportunity to communicate a lot of positive attributes. Keep it short, give a bit of background on yourself, and highlight several acomplishments. Integrate keywords based on desirable Behavioral Competencies. You should show how your career has taken a logical progression – noting how your education helped, if relevant – to where you are now. You should practice this type of "opening statement" until you have it down cold. Practice it until it's perfect!
Cover your 1) early years 2) education 3) work history, and 4) recent
career experience. Remember that this is just a warm-up question.
Don't waste your best points on it.
"Well, I grew up just outside of Chicago and then went to school at the University of Maryland where I studied Political Science and Art History. While I did love Political Science, I always knew that I would need to do something practical, so right out of college I got a job doing "X". Job "X" really tested my stamina and work ethic because I had to work my butt off, but I managed to achieve a lot there and learn a lot about my chosen field. From there I got hired into a more senior position at Company "Y". That's where I really developed my teamwork skills and learned to create and manage budgets as high as $1.5 million dollars. Right now I think that my skills and experience make me a great candidate for a position on your team, and I hope to demonstrate that today. What kind of qualities are you looking for in the ideal candidate for this position?"
