“Tell me a little about yourself”
Is that a familiar line? Interviewers usually have this as the first question. Sounds like an easy question to answer, right? Employers wants to know more about you – your personal information, educational background, trainings, seminars attended and even your aspirations in life. This will give them an overview about you. The interviewer usually asks this question in order for them to see how alert and honest you are in answering questions. They can also determine whether you are a goal-oriented person or not. In this process, they will be able to identify if you can be an asset to the company.
