Hi everyone, I'm Brian Krueger with CollegeGrad.com and this is the Job Search Minute.
Brian Krueger
Here's another tough interview question.
Brian Krueger
Tell me about yourself.
Brian Krueger
It seems like an easy question.
Brian Krueger
It's open-ended.
Brian Krueger
I can talk about whatever I want from the birth canal forward, right?
Brian Krueger
Wrong, what the hiring manager really wants is a quick two - to - three - minute snapshot...
Brian Krueger
...of who you are and why you're the best candidate for this position.
Brian Krueger
So as you answer this question, talk about what you've been doing to prepare yourself...
Brian Krueger
...to be the very best candidate for the position.
Brian Krueger
Use an example or two to back it up.
Brian Krueger
Then ask if they would like more details.
Brian Krueger
If they do, keep giving them example after example of your background and experience.
Brian Krueger
Always point back to an example when you have the opportunity.
Brian Krueger
Tell me about yourself does not mean tell me everything.
Brian Krueger
Just tell me about what makes you the best.
Brian Krueger
This has been the job search minute.
