Tell Me About Yourself - Good Answer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2018
- Today, I want to give you a good answer to the question “Tell me about yourself”.
This is truly the best way to answer the question, tell me about yourself. Its authentic, genuine, sincere, honest, and HUMAN.
I see so many people out there giving these cold, corporate, inhuman-type answers, because they talk about just their accomplishments and their work experience, and that’s it. But a good answer is an honest answer. So, when an employer asks them, “Tell me about yourself” they just rattle off their accomplishments and some of their work experience and then stay there.
Learn how to give a good honest answer to: TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF by hiring expert: Don Georgevich of: jobinterviewtools.com

Man, I hate this question.... actually I just hate interviews.
David Argenal interviews are stupid
Me too😅
It's all prejudice and discrimination for jobs there days
@@aaroningram8782 I agree! If not that, it's about being liked. The workplace is like social media nowadays. It's about liking, disliking, being petty, and oversharing.
me too, i always froze and have sweaty hands at interviews
Don, I used your techniques and received 2 offers today!!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks!
what do you think he is right or other they said talk about your only job
@@sayedsoltan9624 use affirmative action
Hey congrats!
Wow, I am also impressed with his instructions
Liar
At first I didn’t like the idea of “telling a compelling story” but took Don’s advice, told the interview panel what REALLY moved me about my career and it made such an impact they gave me the promotion! This video made a huge difference and definitely worked for me.
I’m so glad to hear that. Too many people don’t like to tell stories about this question but it is a story question
I love retail sales where I am interacting with others and a busy work environment. I grew up in a family that had thier own store business, it really inspired me seeing grandpa's store and retail is something i really like doing.
(Its about the journey) I got hired on the spot at a store with big job gaps, used this answer.
Out of all the videos I've watched on this particular subject, you're the only one who talked about this question as being a way to make a "connection" with the potential employer; a warmer, more personal, and more human way of answering this question instead of interpreting and answering this question as a "tell me about all the great things you did." I love this method! If it were me hiring, this is what I would want to hear from the candidate, and not "all the great things you did. I know your great, that's why I called you in for an interview" kinda thing. Thank you for this great and insightful video!
I'm glad you recognize that. Most people who show you how to answer that question leave off that part.
Me in system engineering interview "I wanna be a vet"
Ok
😂 truth, reality verses dreams
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
Thank you, Don
Your video clips help me a lot on job interviews. You taught me on how to organize the answer and how to use proper words, and tell the story about the achievements, and so on. Your efforts here are much appreciated.
I hope others can also benefit from your work here.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the best.
Today I had a job interview. Thanks to you, I was prepared for anything that could happen and had a plan, detailed like the one they had to invade Normandy back then. It turned out a walk in the park. Easiest ever and I think this was so easy, because I knew exactly, that with the prep you provided for free here, I will be safe no matter what. Normally I am overexcited, fearful and make mistakes in interviews based on my insecurity. None of this today. I copied your bodylanguage and way of talking, as you are an absolute pro in communication
At the moment I still live in a tent without income, yet I will soon be very well and buy your book to pay for your invaluable free services. Thank you!
Awesome. Never give up. Never ever! Much success.
Did you get the job and move form the tent ?
@@sarahjustice526 life, you know. It worked for a while and failed predictibly on me taking the only offer with someone I knew I would not harmonize and it was all under challenging circumstances. Then back to a tent .When I made peace with it and really enjoyed it, a storm of synchronicities brought me to switzerland, where I got 7 interviews and 5 job offers out of 10 applications. Was treated like a superstar, serving me breakfast for the interview and them applying to me. Met an incredibly good guy of an employer who has built a wonderful team, which I am part of now. He sorted me a flat and offered em advances of mney even before working, as I was broke . Been working for 4 weeks Motivated for greatness and giving it all more than ever, being inspired by my team and boss, who is a tibetan who originally was meant to be a monk. Our uniforms are orange. Love it.Thank you forr asking, great to see where I was one year before.
Much love to you.. that's such a kind gesture to buy his book ♥️
@@anikar1302 Thanks for the reminder. I just found my banking card in my mailbox and received my first payslip yesterday. HAving become a pro at the jobhunt thanks to this man, I will try my new card with this today.
I'm not well educated so my jobs aren't so fancy but your tips really help make me relax. talking to a stranger is intimidating thing to me
Thank you thank you thank you. This is the most helpful video I have seen on how to properly answer this question while still being engaging, personal and still professional. Thank you so much!
Thanks for your videos, I learn so much about the interviews
I love how warm your approach is. love it.
Bless you, Don Georgevich, bless you.
Great video, Don! I agree it's important to be warm and personal while communicating your professional story.
This is the best advice I've ever heard for this interview question! I'm most grateful.
many thanks and best of luck to you
Thank you Don!! I got two job offers today because of you. Your videos are the best.
Victoria
You got the Job because of YOUself! ;)
looks like eveyrone is getting two jobs
I love your content Don! It has helped me a lot to build confidence and be prepared even for my current job
Mr. Don, why haven't I seen this before? I genuinely love your insight; the other day I was checking out quite a number of ideas from people like you, they were great, but yours OMG.. I listened to you without a blink, this is exactly what I'm gonna do during my interview in a few days, thank you really. You took me back in time, and those great moments flashed back slowly as you went by, thank you indeed!
Thank you, Doc. I am a HR professional with over 13 years of experience and always struggled to prepare for this question, though I do alright. But until now, I would be focused on that corporate/cold answer. Now, while I was watching this video, I came up with my story and I know now exactly how to answer it. Thank you so much for the thoughtful video.
Keep doing the great work!!
That’s great to hear. I’m thrilled this video was able to help you develop a good and genuine answer for this question.
My Cv keeps getting rejected, why is this?
Thank you sir! Very nice method to answer 'Tell me about yourself' 👍
This is the best response I’ve seen. Thank you. Being authentic is important...most people recommend talking about accomplishments and awards which is great, but not who you really are as a person.
that's great to hear. thank you.
I love this, thank you so much for offering a more authentic guide for answering an important interview question. I will use your tips!
Awesome, Don, Great answers to the about yourself question. The connection is the key, then tell them why you became what professional you are... It's so obvious and simple, that's why you are correct. Thank you, I have an interview in the am, will use this.
"You always have me in stitches". Thanks Don for that presentation
Thank you so much for this great vid. I am pursuing an internship in drug counseling and was once told by a counselor that I would make a good therapist just because of my journey from a dysfunctional family to what I have become. Now I understand how personal problems, healing, education, and a very real passion has given me the ability to be a good counselor. Now, if I can only get all that down to a minute...
This was great! Thank you. Talking about the journey really is helping me with this particular question. I definitely feel more confident now. Again, thank you!
This is the best video on "tell me about yourself". Of course we all want to tell about our achievements but being too direct sounds like bragging! Thank you so much for this one... It's engaging and interesting! I always wanted to answer like this but held back every time because I was made to believe that this was not "the norm"! thank you again.
Many thanks
I like what I heard, you are a great leader and I want to follow your strategies to get hired to the job I already applied if I am called for the interview. I know now how to be prepared for the interview.
Thanks!
Thank you very much. Your recommendation is really the best. You even help us connect with ourselves first and realize our "why" so we may express the same. With so much love and support to your passion in what you do. Definitely following you.
You're so welcome!
Video interviews are the next wave. I need to feel more comfortable on camera. This is very helpful 👍🏻
THANK YOU!!! Finally a human
Thank you Dr. Georgevich! Because of you, I start my dream job next week!
Congratulations, that’s great news
3 year update?
Great idea, never thought about that. Usually, I always get stuck on that one.
Love the authenticity!
I had an interview and I was very well prepared base on all of your videos. Thank you!
Thank you soo much!!! You're a lifesaver
many thanks
Hi Don, thank you for sharing this insight.
Stay safe and take care during this difficult situation.
So glad to help you
I must say, THIS is the answer that simply resonated and made the most sense to me. I have another channel I subscribe to and I've been watching DOZENS of videos in preparation for an upcoming series of interviews. The other channel is good, however, that channel offers a rapid-fire reply of generic positive attributes about myself that I personally wouldn't feel comfortable saying. This is by FAR a better fit for me and these 15 minutes gave me a boost and direction to take when this question is asked. Thank you Don.
Hey Don Thankyou for your tips and tricks this really gave an insight into a simple questions but it is open ended but your output really gave me an insight into such simple question but it is how you answer it will actually land the job
Thank you so much! Very good tips :)
Awesome site, great info and advice; a true service to many. And you have such a real and likeable personality.
Sincere thanks, Don
I appreciate that!
Thanks again Don! I am a longtime subscriber and I am in a tough spot. I still don't know what I want to do. I am a 'multipotentialite', I have many interests and like to pursue them. I am good at everything I do. I have a hard time with this question because I don't know how to quantify my experience :(
I took this approach for an editorial job and IT WORKED I GOT THE JOB!! This is my very first job and I’m already making a good wage, can’t thank you enough 🙏
Congrats
Your videos are so helpful! I am pregnant and beginning the interview process because my company disbanded. Thank you for all the great tips!
so glad to help you and best of luck.
Spot on 🥂🥇🥂🥇
Undoubtedly the best way to introduce one's self, perfectly explained. Gracias.
glad to hear that
These videos really helped me in my interviews . I landed a job with the tips I learned here . Thanks a lot 👍
Glad to help you my friend
Thank you. I always feel hollow when i answer this question. Luckily to find this and I quickly had the inspiration to change my answer
I just can't unsee you as Dr. Lewis Zimmerman from Star Trek voyager!
It's always about the journey... and what you've learned along the way to where you are now. Good advice Don! 👍
exactly!
Great tips! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you very much.👏👏👏
Don, I got an offer! Thank you for all the things that you do! I study your materials I follow carefully your videos, over and over and over.. and practice, practice, practice!!! God bless you with health and long life! ❤🙏😘 people this is real!
You did an awesome job in this presentation. Thank you!🙏🙏👌👌👌
Glad you liked it!
That was helpful, thank you.
One thing that I really struggle with Competency-based questions ("Give me an example of when...") - especially in situations that I've never encountered in my career. What makes things even more difficult for me is that practically every employer uses them - they're a really big thing here in the UK! I feel that the only way to overcome them is to circumvent them in some way - how can I do that?
This is such a dangerous question for an employer to ask as it opens them up to such risk. “Tell me about yourself” invites a person to give interests/associations/details that, if the recruiter doesn’t hire the candidate, puts the company at risk for discrimination accusations. “Oh they didn’t hire me because I told them I was involved with X.”
I really appreciated how Don made this about the professional journey without going into the truly personal.
Wow that was so cool and perfect most especially your examples got me crazy 😚
very helpful video, simple and clear, thank you!
glad to be here for you.
UGH! I hate this question! Thanks for giving me useful tip on how to answer it in my upcoming interviews this week!
I will work on this question.
I love finance. I have a variety of experience, warehousing, manufacturing, retail, office, but I'm looking for a book shelves position
As always..good advice.
Thank you for everything your video is helpful
Thank you. Very useful especially when you have an interview tomorrow 😊
But do you have any videos for nailing group interview?
not sure, but I'll make one for you.
Please do it :')
I love these information. This is what am looking for. Thanks Mr don
glad to help you my friend.
Don provides excellent advice about the career interview process.
many thanks
you are the best you-tuber ever in job-interview field, your videos deserve more thumbs up and views, they are very helpful.
I have been checking out your videos. Thankyou for that. My question which always comes up in an interview is. You where fired from a former job tell me about that. How do I answer this question without getting into to much detail and looking unqualified?
I spent over 25 years in front-facing customer service and sales. 2 years ago I decided to change my life and my career path to working in a higher education environment. I am in a temp position and my year and a half contract ends at a university tomorrow, so I am hoping to continue with this path and hope to land a related job in this seemingly difficult job market.
Fantastic information, very well said...and I will forever remember this moment because in my interviews I was that cold, statistical robot spewing fact without personalization. Thank you, again great information!
glad to help you, Morgan. best of luck to you
Thanks. Iam a medical assistant student. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. I have Interview on Friday
This is the only right answer to this question! I always felt so scripted answering this question.
is it better to start from the most recent experience or from the earlier days when i was rookie?
I endeavour to expand my understanding of everything around Me! ... That Is All!!
You have very good advice. I think job interviews the current model is outdated. If you want your company to win give every single applicant a "working interview" see what they can do and if it's great work give them a job. That's why we're there.
Thank you 😊
Of course, the interview panel might have gone through about background information like name and nationality, and city/country where we reside, etc. I would like further know that can we start our introduction by telling our name and Nationality or country we reside, please advise thank you.
Comig back here again lol !!!! Supervisor Position interview , this guy is the boss
you are awesome
Good advice different from the rest and more realistic
I love your videos! Thanks for all your help! I would like to see videos for foreign graduates coming to the US, how they can achieve good jobs opportunities
Sure thing!
Thank you so much it was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
you helped me a lot!
glad to hear thta
This is the most unique way to answer this. Will try this and I hope It will help me land the job. Wish me luck! 🤞
Best of luck!

Thank w
Great advice!
many thanks
Mr. Don i always used to follow your above mentioned approach but here is my own take of tell me about yourself answer... In the start of your career when you dont have to talk alot about your professional career yes you should start with your earliest days and inspirations etc but when u are interviewed for a senior level position i suppose they dont expect you to tell when did u start and how you got inspired they are actually looking out for what you have achieved so far in your career and there is a difference in the two phases... A young graduate can talk about his early childhood stories and people listen to him and often be careful but if you are 35 yr old story teller they wont even bother going back to your early career.... they will get bored to the point of indifference...
Excellent advice Don. Any advice if you're changing careers and your journey, passion, and story from the industry that you were in is completely different from the new job and industry that you are pursuing?
many thanks.
this video helped alot
HI Mr Don,
I have been searching for the answer of this question Tell me about yourself. I found many of the interview coaches saying that we must focus on our accomplishments and experiences to sell ourselves in the answer of this question.
Last month I went for an interview with a multinational company . When the HR guy asked me this particular question i told him my story how did i enter into the health and safety field and how i helped organizations and workers to stay safe.
But i felt by the end of my answer everybody in the interview panel was boored to death.
I think they are not sitting to listen to the stories. They want us to show them our skills and accomplishments and what values we can bring for that particular organization.
they don't want to hear about skills and accomplishments with "tell me about yourself" when they want to hear about skills, they ask you to tell me your greatest accomplishments. those are two different questions.
@@DonGeorgevich Alright sir. I am always following your advice and tips. I am sure this would be fruitful for me. I am also willing to purchase your interview guide soon. Thanks a lot for your contributions.
@@DonGeorgevich they're are so many different approaches to this question. Are they're numbers to provide the best approach
You are the first person in many years that says to go back to childhood or Highschool, they don’t have time for that. As an IT Director, I don’t want to hear this when I do interviews.
Tips for a job interview are to be anyone but yourself like saying "i loved my previous boss" . While Tips "tell me about yourself" would be showing your real self like "i hated my boss tbh"
i would hope that you could find one decent thing to say about your past boss, even if you didn't like him.
I had an interview 2 days ago. Two Interviewers, both about 20 yrs old, and both primarily interested in wanting me to tell personal, not work things about myself. I think it's more about finding followers and social clique fit.
they sound very inexperienced.
This video deserves much more views!!
Deserve? Ever heard of the market economy concept?
How do you answer when your college degree isn't exactly for the job you're interviewing for? I'm a Bus. Mgt major but interviewing for Administrative work.
Try to relate part of your degree to your work. For example my degree is in electric engineering but my first job was as a robotics documentation engineer: I didn't go into detail about my courses as high-voltage inspector, but instead focused on the few courses I had regarding automation system controllers, PLC's and their documentation similiarities to robot program flows. I then drew attention to household electricity documentation and used it to draw similarities to the robotics documentation which is basically the same without architechtural underlay layer in CAD designer.
Basically, if your degree and work aren't 1:1, think similiarities, think courses you could use to advance your understanding in the new work, etc. Relate degree to work.
