Tell me about yourself #toptiptuesday 49/52

This is often the first question you will be asked at a job interview.

It is a question that anyone can answer and a great way to ease you into a job interview.

As it is the first question, you will, of course, want to ensure you give a positive first impression. Therefore we recommend using it as a first chance to pitch why you would be perfect for the job.

Use the present, past, future formula when answering this question.

Present: Say where you currently work and what your duties are.

Past: Mention what you did prior to your current role and any relevant qualifications you have gained along the way.

Future: Finally, finish by stating what attracted you to this role and why you would be a good fit.
