- With former CEO. In this video, I give the best answer to the job interview question "tell me about yourself". This is the best way I've ever seen to answer the "tell me about yourself" interview question. I also give a sample example answer to this question. This is applicable to both a fresh graduate, as well as a professional with years of experience.

Tell Me About Yourself | Best Answer (from former CEO):
This is my first video in my series on Getting Hired. I will be exploring all the common job interview questions, including "tell me about yourself" - the most common job interview question - usually used as the icebreaker at the beginning of every job interview. Please see the other videos in my "Get Hired" playlist for more tips.
One of the most common interview questions, there are many forms of this question:
Tell me about yourself.

Hi Bill, can you make a video of:
Why did you leave your last job?
How do I answer that question safely but I am AWOL on my first and last job.. Should I lie or should I say the truth?
Thanks, and Yes, it is a good peek into the recruiter's way of thinking.
If I may: How to you reenter the job market after leaving it for some years ? I thought I can retire (real-time programmer).. I guessed wrong (and invested wrong, smart as it was). How do you explain that Big Gaps in the resume?
Oops.. I see you created such a clip already ! :) However, would taking a few short courses now really help an 8 year gap?

Definitely very helpful!
The interviewer did not ask me this question exactly however he asked to speak about last 5yrs of my experience.
I seriously just used this method 5 minutes ago and got my second in person interview! Thanks!
Interesting stuff 👍🏻. After quite a few years in business (and very happily retired now) I came to the conclusion that the whole interview process is almost pointless with one exception- you can weed out nutcases, odd balls and BS merchants but there is almost no way of choosing the right person thereafter. It’s all theatre and being good at interviews is rather like being a good actor holding the attention of the audience. Unfortunately after the performance is over and the day to day work starts the acting skills are no longer useful. Eventually I reached the conclusion that I needed to tick only two boxes: did I actually ‘like’ the person and their aura and did they seem like a tryer who’d roll their sleeves up and give stuff a go as opposed to someone more likely to look for excuses and bumble along. Likability and enthusiasm count for a lot in my opinion.
Absolutly. HR and recruiters usually don't really know the day to day job, they think they know but they don't.
I'm very bad at acting, so I usually fail the job interviews done by HR, but I almost always succefully get the job when I'm interviewed by the ones doing the job.
One recruiter once tell me that he eliminated me because I didn't smile enough during the interview.
My job is very numbers centric, very analytic, very technical. Do you really think that it is a requirement to always smile in my job ? I'm a senior in my job with 7 years of experience, actually in one of the largest company in my country for this kind of job, the answer is : No. That's a shitty selection criteria.
Can confirm I followed this approach, and often was complimented on my answer!
Same, the job interviewer always feel satisfied whenever I answer that question
Some of your best recommendations: passion for what you do, stay on topic, brevity, stop talking.
There are a few more but I can say from a recent positive experience that these videos helped.
I went into the process feeling better prepared.
“Tone is everything” …. This is the value you bring Bill (I was feeling nervous hearing that as it is risky if you don’t have the presence of mind to be mindful about the tone of the first words out of your mouth) - great point-out 🎤
Rewatching these for the 2nd time. Been applying for a few jobs I've been interested in. I remembered half of these videos off the top of my head and feel I made better applications because of it. But I will be taking notes for the next rounds, in case this time doesn't work out. The advice sounds invaluable.
Hey there...I just wanted to let you know that I binged watched your videos for the last few weeks to put together a bullet proof plan to get a new job during this crazy time and IT WORKED! Got offered today the job I really wanted. : ) I used your negotiation video and negotiated $15k MORE than what they were offering!!! YAAY ME! YAAY YOU! Thanks so much...Appreciate you.
Thanks, Stacey! Congratulations! That's a big achievement!
When I apply in an interview what this man says, the interviewer gets much interested in me. Thanks man. Keep it up ❤
I just used your videos to help me land a new job! Thank you. Your stuff is common sense gold!
Way to go, Neil! That's wonderful news!
I was asked to summarize my resume in my own words from oldest to most previous job. This was great info and definitely helped me stay on track. Practice, practice, practice!
Most of your interviewing video's are great, and I've used many of your recommendations. I have to say that I found this one as one of my favorites. Now I use it for every interview I do, internal or external. It's a great opportunity to tell your story through your work history and highlight your value. Thanks!
Very helpful! This is the 2nd time I've referenced your video. I implemented your advice on my last interview, and I now have an offer pending from a top-tier company. Today I have another interview and I can already see how it's going to again help me. THANK YOU!! 😀😀
Hi! I wanted to THANK YOU for these videos! I binge watched each of the videos detailing how to answer each of the common questions along with your insights to prepare for my telephone interview. I made it through the second interview 2 weeks ago and received a job offer last night! This is a government position that is very competitive. Only 2 candidates out of 45 were selected. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🎉
Congrats, Tanya! Way to nail it!!!
God bless your heart, honest mann!
I am glad I found your channel. I recently had an interview for a research analyst position at a California community college. I wanted to ask, when and how should I thank a screening committee for giving me the opportunity to interview for a position. Also, towards the end of the interview, how should I answer, "What concerns or questions do you have?" I always ask, "What was it about my resume that resonated with the needs of your organization? Maybe I can elaborate on that if I haven't already done so."
Thanks. Got my interview tomorrow. I like that your videos are short and straight to the point
All the best!!
Eliminating Someone Just because They support a Different Sports Team Is Something I never expected from a Professional Corporate 😬
Thank you Bill for sharing your great insight and tips for job interviews. Your videos helped me immensely to be well prepared for an behavioral interview the other day. They really helped me nail it! The hiring manager called me back only a few hours after my interview to advise me I was the preferred candidate!
Way to go, Mibo! That's great to hear!
You are awesome too
You're a genius. I've watched some of your videos and loved. I've learned a couple relevant things, even though I've gone through several job interviews already
I love your videos, have been help me so much for improve my skills in the interview
Hi Bill, just wanted to let everyone know that your videos are awesome and incredibly helpful. They really helped me to improve at interviews and today I was offered a job I really wanted. Thank you very much for the time you put making the videos and answering the questions. You are awesome! Have a great day :)
That's great news, Kenob! Congratulations!!
Thank you very much for that ultra valuable content! I’ve already saved your playlist for a later “marathon”! 😄 Side note: I’m planning on moving to Canada next year with my family and these strategies will be extremely useful (since it’s a life/career change coming)! Cheers from Brazil!
Exceptionally good! Also inspiring, refreshing, short and straight to the point. It's you, sir, who is awesome here.
Admiration and many thanks to you, sir.
You are so helpful! THANK YOU
Thank you for these series of video. It helped me so much in getting a better job.
yep i can confirm ... i have faced through the football fan situation and did not get selected lol
Love your channel. Thanks for sharing your experience
I love this guy!
Content is much similar to the old video.
Yet very informative. 🙂
I watched the other video nearly 20-30 times and still I watched this video.
@@yogeshghadge5748 same here😂
Thanks a lot for your advice! It was very useful for my Job interview. Cheers.
I want to thank you for helping me land a job. All your videos were instrumental in helping me acquire employment.
I'm glad to help, Edgar! Way to go!!!!
Great job. Keep up
informative expert's ideas.
Brilliant advice. 👍👏 thank You so much for sharing that. That is so helpful. ❤
This was asked to me, but I think I answered it longer than 45 seconds. But i used the pointers you gave in this video. I did great answering this question. Don’t be afraid to show your personality as well.
Your videos are awesome Mr. Companies Expert
Thank you! This is sound advice.
About to use this today on my first interview in 6 years. Too easy!!
Wanted to say good luck, but this was a month ago! How did it go?
@@sirzi9043 oddly enough something similar was asked and I was ready for the response. I ended up getting the job offered, but declined it for another job elsewhere. Can’t complain!!!
You are amazing!!
Thanks for sharing this really useful info and also for your advice. Blessings. 👍👍👍😎
Please do a video of hiring managers checking references
Great content!
Thanks I waiting this Video ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank You!!
i am watching in Azerbaijan and I think all you say is pretty applicable in here too
I hope I can get the job. Been watching you for quite some days. I'll be having my Interview w/ my first European Client 😭 Bit nervous
Thanks!
Thank you sir. I got the job by applying your advice.
That's awesome, Destianto!
Guys, I am going for the first job interview of my life. Wish me good luck.😊
Cool video!
Glad I found your channel 🌝❤👌
Can you please do a video on the DOs and DONTs for a head-hunting process, and please give us the mind of the recruiter in that process.
Thank you.
Hi Bill,
What you're saying here is applicable for a "typical" job interview, where the recruiter publishes the vacancy and lots of people apply. Thanks for that, very insightful.
However, I will appreciate a video on the same, but where you're head-hunted. And you have to sit in a café (well, we don't do that today because of covid) or over video call, so that the recruiter tries to get a sense of who you are and if you'd fit in the culture of the organization, etc.
Thanks.
If you're dealing with a recruiter, this is the answer I would give. If you're dealing with a hiring manager that has actually referred you (meaning you didn't apply and the job hasn't been posted) but they still ask *THIS* question, I still would give this answer.
🔥
Your videos are great! I just had an interview and was asked about the difference between equality and equity? I gave a basic Googled answer. What's the best way to answer this question?
good stuff. Do you have any experience with recruiters that have no idea what the job entails? How to deal with this? Is it the norm? I am changing my career to do some travel (I am an MRI tech). I have had online conversations with numerous recruiters. They are very superficial, yes I know. In the healthcare travel industry, this is pretty much the norm until you find the job you want, and at that time you talk to the actual manager or supervisor at the location. Meantime you have to deal with several recruiters from the travel staff companies. The problem that I have come up against is the recruiters do not have any knowledge about the details of the job. So it becomes a huge back and forth numerous times to find out this information. Wouldn't it be easier for them to just have at least a paragraph from the job stating the equipment and protocols, and a few basic things instead of all this back and forth? Or is this the norm for healthcare recruiters? I have not been in the travel tech world in many years so I am trying to figure it out.
Thank you for the informative video.
My background is in psychology and I've been working for 12 years in education as teacher and education counsellor.
I never got fired and I always got positive review working in education.
Now I want to try to work in human resources.
I want to try something else before getting too old (34 here).
Do you have any tips for me?
Thank you in advanced
Hi! Since there's a possibility that the opening line of "Well, as you can see from my resume..." can come off rude, could we omit that line altogether and jump straight into describing the resume? Thanks!
Hey Bill, I've recently been asked in interviews, directly after this question, "tell me about your family life." After answering this, I feel like something I say here causes me to be eliminated because when this question is not asked, I move to the next round. Any thoughts on how to get around this? 🤔
As far as I know this question is just asked to check your family background. Many times company sees that whether if your family will be completely dependent on you or not. If your family is dependent on you then it signifies that you might not be able to work at different locations depending on companies requirements.
Can you make a video about being hired with out a school degree vs 10 or more years experience in an specific field insurance sales job and applying for a field insurance sales management job?? Thanks
When talking about myself...do i have to mention my school curriculum please?
is it okay that i tell to the recruiter, my duties and responsibilities of my past jobs?
Hi Bill, this question is smilar to what is your superpower, what is your passion ?
I will have an English interview very soon (First English interview in my life) Your videos have been useful. You're awesome too! 😁
Bill Hi, youtube premium is unavailable in my country, so I cannot 'join' the channel. The button is unavailable, i tried every thing. So how can I get access to the members video please? Thanks.
As far as I know, the join button should be available on the desktop version (not mobile). If it isn't, then TH-cam is doing some interesting things I guess..
@@TheCompaniesExpert yeah, it is just not there for me, i tried mobile, desktop, everything. I added /join at the end of the url and it still does not work for some of us.
Well, I do appreciate you trying, Clino - I guess it's just not in the cards right now. Hopefully TH-cam will fix that soon.
