Solution

The question, “Tell me about yourself” may be asked because it is relatively an easier one to answer and hence you may feel at ease and remain the same all through the interw. It may be asked the interwar may want to know how much you really know about yourself or it may also be asked when the interwar requires some time to go your application/bio-data, before he can start asking you various other questions that are relavent to you and your background.

            Remember that your answer to this question should cover all educational details very briefly and if you are working…your work interms of name of the company,your designation and what you do. And you should talk about your achievements either in your acadamics or in work or both.Then you can add few details about what types of person you are and your likes, dislikes, etc. Giving details about your family background is not compulsory. Before interview frame a good answer and practice in front of a mirror.
