  • Tell Me About Yourself - It’s not a rendition of your resume // In this video, I will teach you the tell me about yourself job interview answer so you can stand out in front of hiring managers and land more job offers.
    You will learn that it’s a 1 - 2-minute long talk on your differentiator is the single most important thing that sets you apart from anyone else? A compelling story: Your Value-Added Proposition (VAP).
    Ground Rules to Know Before I Share the Tell Me About Yourself Answer Sample:
    When they ask you to tell me about yourself in the interview it is critical that you do not talk about your personal/family life but instead focus on your professional background and credentials.
    Secondly, remember to tell a story. Not a lifelong story, but your professional work story consisting of your work experiences, qualifications and why you’re a good fit for this role.
    I will give you the process to create Value Added Proposition Pitch which includes:
    What Defines Your Benefits to the organization
    • What: Create your “What can you do for me?” VAP statement
    • Define: Define the need or opportunity. That is, what strengths you bring to the organization?
    • Your: Develop a statement of your primary differentiator. Your differentiator is the single most important thing that sets you apart from anyone else
    • Benefits: List the benefits you can bring to the organization
    Watch the video and now you know how to approach THIS interview question, do you know if your resume is good enough to even land the interview in the first place?

    I told a hiring manager that I'm actually kind of goofy and weird at times, and that I am always astonished at how successful I've been. He immediately relaxed. He laughed and said it was such a relief to hear that after all the lies he'd been hearing all day. The rest of the interview was fun. I got the job.

      It's true. I think they get sick and tired of all the lying and "perfect" people. They want to hire people who they can trust. This doesn't mean that you don't need to have the qualifications for the job. That's still important.

    To be honest I think it depends on the person personality who interviews you. I remember being asked that same question for my first REAL JOB. A week later I called to speak with the interviewer and asked him for feedback on my interview and what did he thought of my interview. During the interview I Simply talked about my achievements how I could apply it to the job, my weakness strength, team player, what i could offer to their clients and what i like to do on my spear time... He suggested I should have mentioned my siblings and where I grew up at. However, I still got the job but I think by me calling him and asking that question helped me out including my prayer. It's so hard these days to really know what to say cause everyone has different personalities.. To me mentioning about my siblings and family has nothing to do with the job. Some just want to be nosey. I had an interviewer ask me one time was I raised by both parents now what does that has to do with the job.

    Awesome video by Darnell! I get asked this question a lot, and I always tell people to talk about:
    1. Your relevant past (don't go into your entire childhood). If it's a marketing gig, talk about your college studies and that internship or project you've been working on.
    2. How that past has led to your interest in this position. Be specific about why it's such a great fit for you.
    3. How you plan to help the company and be successful in this role. Make sure you're knowledgeable on the topic! It always helps to talk with people in the industry first.
    Always keep your answer to 3 minutes max! No one wants to hear someone drone on and on about themselves, especially at the beginning of an interview. Keep it as conversational as possible.

    Great tools for a successful interview in creating opportunity to stand out! I've always felt like interviews are competitive and it's about marketing yourself. When I'm being interviewed for a position; I always expound on my abilities, capabilities, and strengths as it relates to the position I'm being interviewed for you. Over two years ago, I entered back into the job market seeking opportunities outside of my licensened profession that I have been in for 11years. Let me tell you, it was rough and I truly saw how extremely competitive this whole process is. I had to completely revamp my resume to be suitable for entering back into the job market and I really had to give a great deal of thought as to what it was I wanted to do. Thus far I have been successful
    , I concentrated on obtaining leadership positions such as Team Lead, Shift Supervisor, and Management. I'm currently a Shift Supervisor at a pediatric facility. However I'm back to hitting hard on the job hunt as I will be relocating to another city and I want to have that same success and to go beyond what I have achieved over the past two years. Your video has given me much insight, great advice, and information for where I currently am right now. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to sharing my success story using the tools that you have provided. Peace and Blessings~

    6:58 Well, of course, Mr. Clarke is intelligent and can answer these questions this man has degrees in Computers which are very analytical jobs.
    Anyone who is a lawyer, Computers, Mathematics, Scientist, Sales, have a step above average people because of the high level of skills you acquire which helps in your everyday function as well! At least, in my opinion, you will have to improve vocabulary as this man and be able to handle interviews and communication better of course!
    The rest of us regular people can get there but it takes passion for that goal, pratice of course to increase your creative thinking along with experiences!!!

Brain storm if you can, gather your thoughts, put them down in a paper, record your voice if you can, memorize it so you don't go blank, but make sure you don't sound monotone! Practice out loud and practice enough until you feel confident 👍 sometimes is best to have your general Q & As ready prior to applying so it makes it easier!

    Hi Darnell Clarke. I have an interview in four days. I applied for the hr assistant position in August 2018. It's a non-civil service position and I found it's a long process. My name was chosen from the eligibility list. Unfortunately, I didn't print the requisition and the posting is no longer on the job site. I believe I have experience and the skill set they're looking for. It was even confirmed on the voicemail from the hiring manager. Is it extremely important to review the req again before the interview? If so, how do I get a copy of it?
