I, um So tell me about yourself.

Well, I I like, um Mm.

So tell me about yourself.

Can I call a friend?

You submitted to resume and you waited and you waited patiently.

And finally you got that phone call, and now you got the interview.

You're sitting across the table and they're hiring managers Miles and asks the question, Tell me about your self and you panic, and you don't know what to do.

You don't know what to say.

You start to stutter, and halfway through the conversation, you say to yourself who?

I blew it.

Why did I even say that?

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Usually that hiring manager mix up his or her mind in the 1st 3 minutes during the interview, do you make a good impression?

So today I'm gonna share with you from a C old perspective from a hiring manager perspective from an employer perspective.

What is the best response to the question?

Tell me about your self.

You see, we have interviewed thousands and thousands of potential applicants and I cannot tell you how many times I see people kind of struggle with this question.

But how ever they are incidents that we are very impressed with their response?

This is not theory.

We have taking some of the best reply, some of the best responses to this question.

I'm gonna teach it to you.

And by the end of this video, you're gonna walk away with the exact formula.

Exactly What do you need to say and how to say?

I'm also gonna give you a little script, a little template.

So next time when you are asked this question, you know exactly what to say.

And now let me give you a couple keys First Key number one.

When the hiring managers asking you the question tell me about yourself.

They're not actually asking about your whole life story.

They're not asking about your parents, your your background and your dog's name.

And what what what kind of captain you have?

It is not about that.

So when people hear that question, they think, Oh, let me tell you my life story.

In 20 minutes into it, you have not talk about anything important.

So what they're actually asking is, what are you bringing to the table.

So from now on, when you hear the question, tell me about yourself.

I want you to make the mental switch that equals.

What value could you bring to the company?

What problems can you solve for the company?

That's what they are asking and shouldn't go on and on and on about all your background and all of that.

No, don't do that.

Key number two Be yourself.

But be your best self.

See, one of the mistakes people make is they believe in the interview.

Well, you know, I just want to be myself.

Yes.

You want to be yourself, but you want to be your best self.

You want to be authentic.

You don't want to be fake.

But it doesn't mean that you just share everything this the first time.

You just sitting across the table from a hiring managers, like a date, right?

You just getting to know each other just like a coffee date.

So make sure that you present your best self right lead with your strong foot forward.

So when they are asking you the question everything that you share, any statement that you make, you always want to tie it back to what's in it for them.

W II FM.

What's in it for them?

So let me give you example.

Let's say someone is hiring and you're applying for a social media manager position, okay.

And the high manager is asking.

You also tell me about yourself.

A typical response, someone might say, Well, you know, I, um, uh, grilled with social media and have used social media for a long time my whole life, actually.

So I'm very familiar with it.

And just about three years ago, and I thought to myself, Hey, you know, maybe I could actually make a living doing this, So I started playing around with it and, um, you know, take on a couple clients here and there and worked with with a couple of people on then.

And now you know, I'm a plan to get married, and my fiance, you know, told me that, you know, I should get a stable job, So okay, I am.

And I'm looking for a company that offers good, you know, growth potential, good growth opportunity.

And also this displaces, you know, not too far from my home.

So it's good.

He's only a 10 minute drive.

You see the problem like that.

It's all me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

It's all about that person.

What they need in order, that stuff, that idea Now How do you feel if you are?

They're hiring manager when you ask that question common below.

If that's the answer that you get.

So instead of rambling on about that about my background and all this stuff, what I want No.

If you are turning into a benefit, what's in it for them?

What's in it for the company?

What's in it for the hiring manager?

What could you say?

I'm gonna give you a simple formula, right?

It's down three s three s first success.

Now he is a script that you could use.

I have Bean, Blake, or my background is blank.

So let me demonstrate that stays the same position social media manager that you're playing.

So first success I have been I've been doing social media for the last three years, and I specialize in helping companies and entrepreneurs growing their Facebook fan page and in the last three years alone, life help dozens of clients in over 10 different industries.

And on average, I've been able to help my clients, too, really increased engagement and grow their fan page by 3 to 500% in less than six months.

And that's what I am passionate about.

In fact, I have vistas some of those clients that I've worked with in the reference letter Is he all that works?

You're talking about your success, but without bragging, it's Maur to demonstrate and showcase your skill set.

What are you good at that step?

Number one Success and then step number two is strength, and he is the script.

My strength ISS or my real Shrek is from the blank.

My real strength is my ability to truly understand what your audience wants.

I pride myself on my reputation to creating engaging and compelling content that I know your audience loved and want to share.

That's the second step.

My strength is blank.

Third situation, meaning holidays that apply to the precision that you apply.

How do you apply your background, your strength into the new company, the new opportunity situation?

What I am looking for?

Yes, what I am looking for is a friend of like What I'm looking for is a company that I could add value to that I could produce a positive return on investment for where I could join a strong team.

Is this what ABC company is looking for?

You see, at the end you as a question.

Whoever accessed a question controls the conversation.

So you want to ask a question?

And then now the high manager would be like, Okay, yeah, I guess that's what I'm looking for.

No, that's not what we're looking for.

And you go from there just because you are in an interview, it doesn't mean that you don't need to sell now.

The next question you might have its while.

Dan, Does that mean that I have to, like, memorize a scrip of some sort?

The answer is absolutely, yes.

You don't want to go in unprepared.

In fact, you want to write it out, practice it.

We heard it many, many times.

So when you are in front of that potential hiring manager, you're ready to go.

You need to memorize it and say it many, many times and repeated many, many times.

So it comes across very, very natural.

That last thing you want is to panic and start, and you don't know what to say.

You do not want to do that if you find this video useful.
