I’ve got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven’t had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.
One part of interviews I’ve always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they’d like me to actually say, whether it’s about me as a person or about my work history.
So any tips or tricks would be welcome.
This is the interviewer giving you the ability to write the narrative as to why you should be hired.
For this, you want to start with your name, give educational and work experience that would be relevant to the job, and say why you have a gap in your resume (and you have a pretty good reason). Keep it under a minute and think of it as giving them a high level reason why they would want to hire you.
