The tell me about yourself interview question is one of the most common interview questions asked and because it's typically asked so early in the interview process, it makes up a huge portion of the impression you make in an interview.
Additionally, in this video, we talk about the mistakes people make while answering this interview question so that you can avoid making this mistake and you can absolutely crush this interview question.

100% these videos have helped me land a job at my dream company! Now I’m interviewing for a promotion and I’m watching these videos again to be fully equipped to get it!
Well welcome back my friend! I hope you get!
This helped me land a second interview which I have today. Most importantly the interview went smooth in 15 min talking about myself and resume and I got the second interview. Practicing this video is so important and will set you up with confidence.
I am so happy this helped you Diana!!!
@@BenTalksTalent I subscribed. I’ve listened to a few other hiring to videos for Apple 🍏 and your tone , patter and style resonates with me. I’ve listed to five different videos multiple times and my confidence level has risen astronomically! Not though arrogance or blind faith but from a better understanding of the hiring game/process.
I intend these tips and experiences are going to land me back in a position that I loved doing 30 years ago but moved on because I started doubling my salary.
Now, it’s about what makes me happy and that is making others happy by learning and feeling the elegance, fun and simplicity known as 🍎
Much love for your time and efforts.

@@wakeupandsmellthecoffee888 that’s great! Doing what makes you happy is worth so much! And thank you for subscribing! I really appreciate it!
Thanks a million!
I subscribed! I have an interview on Monday. I've been watching your other videos too. Thanks for creating these helpful videos.
First Meta interview on Monday! Soo nervous, but you make it easy or make it seem that way!
Just subscribed, and I have to say that this is a crucial period for me because I'm graduating soon and submitting applications. Let's hope that I don't wait forever to hear back!
Hi Ben! Awesome videos! I subscribed today! This video is so important. I think about how I've silently coached myself to answer this question and - I feel like I know the basics... show how your background shines, briefly describe your major accomplishments at your current/last position and let the answer direct you into why you're a good fit for this new position. But when it comes to formulating my own answer (especially about "what I do now") I get so lost! My issue is - my job is different EVERY day. Everything I've done is using skills that needed to be self-taught on the job and can be too complex to explain or too specialized to be a relevant topic of discussion. I also on many days consider myself somewhat of a master troubleshooter but also a generalist where I will know how to do anything/everything at my company but I plan not to be the expert and rather shape my experts under me. This is so hard to explain and somehow does not come off so great in an interview, especially when my next job I'm interviewing for is NOT a COO job or Director of Ops job. So I end up losing myself in the question and I don't seem to articulate the value I think I can bring to a new company when I try to explain "what I do now." Hopefully, you have some advice for us who have a very difficult time explaining what we do!
wow Ben you are such a great person to learn from. I'm so grateful these videos are free. thanks!

I subscribed: I'm in the process of transitioning back into the workforce after a 6 year work sabbatical. During that time, I focused on pursuing my passion for photography and digital artistry in an self-employed capacity. I think those activities, along with my previous work experiences will be an aid in helping me to land a job in a related field. Your videos are are great aid to help me get back in mindset of interview questions and answers.
Thanks Kenny! That’s awesome! It sounds like you are ready to share that in an effective way! Good luck my friend!
@@BenTalksTalent Thank you Ben! Absolutely, I look forward to leveraging those experiences and skills gained in my next endeavor. If you have any videos that talk about re-entering the workforce after a long layoff, please share a link to them. Thanks again for the great and helpful content! All the best! Kenny 🙂

I tell them, "I love to travel at months at a time hitting the waves surfing, mountain biking, on the slopes snowboarding & at times, skydiving, but I've slow down since.
I'm a real foodie & love trying out different culinary experiences in different countries.
Gee, I don't understand why I didn't hear back, but then again I work for myself & have different money streams. Living my life to my to beat of my drum & not being under someone else's thumb.
Find your freedom & use your passion towards financial independence by working on your terms.
Just listening to this guy makes me exhausted 😴 Time for a nap.
lol hopefully you are well rested now!
Hi Ben, love your videos and just subscribed, how long should you take to answer this question? Should it be closer to 1min or something like 3 or 4 minutes or somewhere inbetween? Let's say the person asking it is the hiring manager so they are technically knowledgeable.
This is a great question/suggestion. From now on, I will put a suggested time on answering. For this 90 seconds, it’s a big question that can cover a lot of ground. Thank you for subscribing! If you ever have any topics or questions you want me to cover, let me know! Have a great day Moustafa!
Another very good video. The only part I disagree with somewhat is to not weave in just a little bit of personal stuff into the answer. It shouldn't be more than a short sentence or two, but something that alludes to the breadth of you and your passions can't hurt you in this process and, if done well, can really make you come across as a real human being and not just a professionally polished shell. Example: "my passion for product management even shows up in my spare time, where I'm a bit of a synth nerd. I don't just play them, I like to analyze their UX to decipher the priorities and processes of their product team." I just made that up but just as a way to discretely let them know that you're also a musician in your spare time. If you're lucky, someone will react very positively to that and share that they also have that interest, and that increases your odds of standing out considerably. Worst case they will just see it as yet another sign of your passion for product management (in this case).
I am going to make a new video on this actually. I have some new thoughts!
Hi Ben your videos are awesome detailed oriented. Can you guide me what can be possible questions for a recruiter role to present them in flow chart manner and how to do it . Thanks in advance.
Yes I can!
I like working from home but with the team i work with online ..

Ben, you probably have a video for the question, "What is your greatest career accomplishment," by the interviewer. I'm not sure which video to post this question on, but it's an "ace card" that a few of us men have: Eagle Scout. Of course, that's not a CAREER accomplishment, but goodness, it CAN make a difference. In Seattle, lifeguarding for the City of Seattle pools, paid NICELY. We got paid $13 an hour PLUS a 5% premium (in lieu of benefits) back in 1996, and since most lifeguards were young, we didn't care about benefits. Anyway, Eric got hired on (and got a lot of hours), and our manager said that him being an Eagle Scout played a huge role in him being hired. How, if at all, can "being an Eagle Scout" be incorporated into an interview? I don't know if telling them about myself is THE place to do it?
Do you have any professional ones? Some may prefer that.
The reason why this question is asked is to see if you are a good fit for the position, bringing your CV to life so they have a better understanding about you. Keep it short and simple and also ask at the end if they want to know something specific, that´s also a good way to engage with them.

I subscribe. Any suggestion on how to answer tell me about myself for those making a career change if their previous working experience are not related ?
Hi HC! Thank you and it’s awesome to have you as a subscriber! I linked a video below I previously made on changing careers, I think it covers some key points on making career moves and addressing it in interviews. If you have additional questions after watching it, let me know and maybe I can make a video addressing any specific questions you have. Sound good?

When there is a group interview, is it ok to starting first answering?

Hi, thanks for the valuable content.
Is there any way to contact you directly? Other than commenting here?
recruiters make me die inside.
how on earth are you reading absolutely anything when you only look at resumes for 6 seconds on average?
the bane of my existence, as a manager.
Sounds like you have had bad experiences. There are plenty of bad recruiters, but there are good ones too. Hopefully you don’t actually die inside lol
Please make video on how to make carrers at NEOM- The Line
I had an interview and during the tell me about yourself i was doing what you said but then she said no tell me about yourself like your hobbies. I even got asked what my pet peeves are. That one really threw me off.
I subscribe 👍
Thanks Paeh! Have an awesome day!
I always have a hard time answering this question
Ben, should I even mention this, or hope my interviewer asks me, towards the end: During the pandemic, my resume added something for "Other Activities." Basically, my late Dad was part of a band through church, when he was in high school. Some of his closest friends were in that band. In 2020, some of the still living members decided to write a book about the band. They invited me to a zoom, to talk about my Dad. Well, soon, I was added to their book committee as a "younger member." I think this could be a very nice thing that could be a "difference maker" in getting a job, especially as I apply for an INTERNAL promotion. How would you recommend I go about this?
It’s a good question. That’s a pretty specific story and can be hard to weave into an interview seamlessly. I wouldn’t force it. But if they ask about some non work related you are proud of, that would be a perfect time.
@@BenTalksTalent Thank you, Ben! I agree, I shouldn't force it. But, since this is an internal promotion attempt, and the interview will be a little more casual, I can just hope they'll ask me about it, and I should be prepared to talk about it a little, but not overdo it, either. I just think that it could "make me look a little more well-rounded, dedicated, and interesting."
Great tips!! Do you have any videos for candidates over 50? Since turning 50, I get turned down for every opportunity when I never did before. Age discrimination? I subscribed and would love to know how to find a job over 50. Thank you
Hi Lori! I haven’t yet but I can make one! I have some ideas on how to combat this!
This is probably something that I shouldn’t ask, but is there a positive way to ask how the company measures how well they practice their core values?
I think there are good ways. I can make a video on this!
@@BenTalksTalent Awesome and thanks again Ben!
I hate HR games… my Ex Wife was really good at them, just couldn’t do the work once she got there… it would take them about a year or earlier to figure out she couldn’t do the job, then they would try to find a way to get rid of her. She would then sue crying discrimination and get a settlement. She did that the entire time we were married. I think she really hated men… and really loved money.
Ben, if I'm asked this question in round 1, 2, and 3 - can I say the same answer for all 3 interviews (different people in each one)?
Absolutely!
I have a question for anyone online. What does it mean that you were not Authentic in your interview? I've had that in the past and need to understand why that was said and how I could become Authentic.🕳️
Do interviewers sometimes give mixed signals? Why does that happen?
Yes it does. I don’t think they mean to. They try to not give away too much info but sometimes they do show interest in a reactionary way.
