Hi，this is Ray
Today I'll be teaching you how to give
the best self-intro in an interview
Whether you like English or not
You have to face the fact that English is important
Especially when you're looking for a job
How well your English is determines how competitive you are
So when some companies are recruiting
they'll set up an English interview
or at least you have to introduce yourself in English
They'll often ask this
simple but complicated question
This question goes like this
the literal meaning may be
Tell me more about yourself
but
the purpose behind the question
Is not really to hear more about you
Think about HR, how many interviews he has to do every day
How many stories he needs to hear
so deep inside, he's numb AF
He doesn't want to hear your life story
Gimme a thumb up HR
If you don't wanna be murdered during an interview
you have to understand what's behind this question
When the interviewer asked, tell me about yourself
he wants to know if you're fit for this position
and is there anything that's worth knowing
So if you talk about your daily routine
or nothing related with the job
After hearing your self-introduction
he might have decided not to hire you
let's true. I used to do that
So today，I'll be teaching you
how to organize some main points
and give a good reply
based on whether you're fit for this job
and what's worth knowing bout' you
You can answer this question using the time structure- past，present and future.
The purpose of this interview
is to prove that you're a great fit
so you have to talk about
To become the great fit
what I have done and what experience I have
that made me what I'm capable of
so in the future，I'll be the best in the field
past，present and future
So another important thing is
According to different companies and positions
you have to adjust what you say
When asked this quesion
another common mistake is that
you just take out your resume
and go over everything on it
As we've mentioned
Your purpose is to become
the best fit for this job
so you have to talk about the experience
that has a direct impact on how fit you are
Let's go over a complete self-intro example
We went straight from the future
This is to let the interviewer know
the motive behind your interview
and you can choose some
experience to talk about
Here, you can use more verbs
to let him feel you've done a lot
It's like you're trying to KO the opponent
Right Boom Boom Boom
Boom Boom Bomm
Boom
(knock it off)
Last, because of the experiece
what ability have you gained
that made you a great fit
to give a strong ending
If you've noticed the time
you'll know that
the response is about a minute long
when answering "tell me more about yourself"
Don't talk too much and for too long
You get what I mean
If the interviewer has more questions
He'll ask you later
Ok, this is how to respond to
"Tell me more about yourself"
The question that's both simple and complicated
So useful right
Generally speaking
most jobs don't require English interviews
so use the example and method mentioned
and finish your self introduction
That'll be mostly about it
but there are still jobs that require English interviews
from self-intro to common questions asked
even the resume needs to be in English
So what should you do?
