A woman, interviewing for a pharmaceutical sales position, answers the common interview question: Tell me about yourself. This is an example of a GOOD way to answer this question.

When describing yourself, you should give specific examples of your professional and personal qualities. Intertwine those examples with your character traits that make you who you are. Stay relevant to the job position and company culture.

  • She can also give an extremely long winded response to the question that literally goes on for three straight minutes. It appears that talking about herself comes easily thus indicating that she does it on a frequent basis which can either lead me to believe she is very confident in herself, or that she is conceded and compensating for her own perceived flaws, more likely the latter based on the sheer volume of self-praising bull shit that seams to endlessly spew from her mouth. The end.

  • Thanks. I was able to get some ideas on what to say after watching this.

  • It is way too long, but the point is to get ideas of what you can talk about when you're asked that question.

  • shut up and take your top off.

  • this is exactly the type of answer that they are lookin for like er 10 years ago? now thats just not the case this is all shit; we r at an age where we must do anything to survive if not get left behind....

    just cos u got a degree wont get u a job; u need connections; besides who in their right mind wants to go to uni get a paper cert and a massive debt in a crisis.... just tell them u r desperate for a job; will work long shifts n bring coffees in the morning!!

  • As a professional recruiter -- I would have politely cut her off and would coach her by suggesting that she doesn't talk so much. Give shorter and concise answers and lead the interviewer into a discussion. The interviewer will ask more probing questions if they want to learn more about a particular topic.

  • bla bla bla,.

  • i find it bored

  • @Evergreenpak00 LOL!!

  • I got bored. :/

    One minute is only given for this question because of the interviewer's attention span.

  • @ThoseWhoStayUofM

    *Conceited

  • Interviews are bullshit
