Tell Me About Yourself...

Hello guys,
This is Fratres, today I'm going to tell you how to answer the following question if you are in a job interview:
“Tell me about yourself.”
First of all you need to know that it is one of the most-frequently-asked job interview questions. Even so, many job seekers don’t take this question seriously, thinking that it's just an icebreaker meant to put them at ease.
Many job candidates make the mistake of answering this question with talk of something personal like their family, kids or hobbies. Some even launch into their life story, starting with their hometown and continuing on through their college graduation.
And some job seekers simply summarize their resume, going point-by-point through their work experience and education history.
The best answers to this question clearly explain how you’re qualified for this particular job and — just as important — why you want it. So before you start crafting your answer, spend some time reviewing the job description in the recruitment ad for the position and company. That way you’ll have a good understanding of what the hiring manager is looking for as far as qualifications, experience and fit with the workplace culture.
No matter how you answer this question, don’t take up too much time with your response. You don’t have to tell the hiring manager every single thing that makes you a great fit for the position. Just give a few important details that will spark their interest in learning more and you’ll get the interview off to a great start.

College Graduates: Ready For Your First Job?

Hello Grads, This is Fratres . Are you ready to enter the job market for the first time? Before you start going out on interviews, consider running a background check on yourself to see what your record looks like. Many recent college grads just entering the job market do so with a feeling of invincibility. It’s not uncommon to feel like the world is your oyster following four successful years at a university—particularly if you were one of the top students in your degree program. But just as the competition got fiercer and the challenges got steeper when you traded your high school halls for a sprawling college campus, things are going to get harder and more competitive once more now that you are looking for full-time employment. As such, if you are going to beat out everyone else that is competing for your dream job, you are going to need to do everything in your power to become the ideal hire. Become the Ideal Hire Unfortunately, becoming the ideal hire is only partially ba...
