    Something to consider: The fact that most people trip over this question (revealing that they have no idea how to meet the needs of the employer) is exactly why it's a great one to ask. It forces the applicant to use their emotional and social intelligence to construct an answer that matches the situation. Asking for guidance on 'tell me about yourself' is a great way to indicate that when confronted with a problem, instead of seeing a way through, you throw your hands up and call for help (ie: you're not suited for management). If you're hiring management, doctors, professors, etc. you don't want to give very specific questions with obvious "right" answers. The entire point of the interview process is to see if someone will flounder under a little pressure and if they have good verbal skills. You're looking for someone who's capable of using critical reasoning and finding solutions. So go ahead and toss them in the deep end- the ones who canoe their way out will be best suited to the job.

    Once, I had an interviewer say to me, "What is one special trait you have that you feel would bring value to this company?" I said, "I'll do something that most people won't do. I'll show up everyday." He leaned forward, pointed right at me and said, "That's a BIG one. How soon can you start?"

    At my current job, actually coming to work is almost as valuable as a skill set. There are so many of the workers who take time off, they rarely have a full crew on a given day. The attendance policy is quite complicated so that taking time off can be quite a burden because the workers have found ways to not be at work.

    What needs to happen is that people interviewing should be trained to look for 1 CV layout, read it and not just dump it in the bin after 2 seconds, ask specific questions, don't play games, learn some manners (no ghosting, actual feedback, etc.). Then and only then can schools/universities start teaching how to get past the bullshit ATS and then the bullshit mind games interview.

    In my experience, this is usually the first real question, and is there just to get you talking. I find it useful to have a short 10-second spiel you can reel off before tackling this, just to settle the initial nerves. Nothing too deep, just some basics before firing off the probing question. This also gets around the "don't question a question" hang-up that some people have.

    I like how you explain the reasons behind such or such HR person's behaviour/question and your eleborations on what they ACTUALLY won't of you when they ask such or such question. :) I can see that you analyzed the actual reason behind question/behavior of the interview. And I like how you give them WHAT THEY actually looking for, when they were not able.to express it themselves.

    Absolutely right. Especially in an interview for a sales/business development position. Sales managers and recruiters looking for good sales talent appreciate this because the more questions you ask, the more they can visualize you asking for the business in the sales role. It also demonstrates control and the ability to qualify clarify and probe. All required traits of a good sales candidate.

Along with my determination to make this career change and express my strong desire to learn all that is required to know to be successful within that field. I never knew you didn't need experience or education in being a dental assistant and that some dental offices are willing to train you. Great tip I got from my the hygentist and my dentist on my last appt and since I am put on waiting list for a certification program, I applied to about 20 dental offices and I was invited to an interview this coming Saturday! I am Super excited!

    Asking one or two questions requesting clarification is perfectly rasonable in an interview. I have found that hiring managers and interviewers want to get to the point and they don't like assumptions. However, asking for clarification on more than two questions probably means you aren't qualified for the job, you didn't prepare, or you're not paying close enough attention to the questions being asked. What sucks is that people with a short short-term memory may have difficulty remembering a question, especially if it is complex or has several parts to it.

    I watched this video yesterday to prep for my first ever interview that same yesterday. The first thing they asked me was to tell them about myself and as you taught me I asked them what they wanted to know... To cut story short. It's a paid internship position at a big oil company my brothers friend worked at and he just contacted my brother who then contacted, he said I didn't do well that I didn't sound prepared, that I was asked to tell them about myself and I was asking what they wanted to know. My brother has great experience with this having worked as a banker then explained that I was meant to sell my self at that point before I get to ask what I want... I don't know I feel pained because I had plans that $$ could've helped me with, I didn't know what to do other than to come leave my review here as I would have left praise here if it had helped... Coincidentally my phone broke that same yesterday, all my body hurts I tell you

But now that I'm trying to get into bigger and better things to be established, I've lacked confidence during most interviews. I had a lengthy resume, and got many interviews with it but never land the job. I've had a hard representing myself. I now have an interview with a Real Estate transaction company and I plan on WALKING IN THEIR WITH FULL CONFIDENCE OF MY ABILITIES AND EXPERIENCE!

    @@andylacivita I just had the interview, which they said there be a second part. The weirdest thing is, this is a private owned company that doesn't care about fancy resumes! The recruiter liked more the fact that I worked for Dunkin and Walmart than even studying for Real Estate License! I was shocked! She said that this is a highly customer service role and most of my background is in that. I felt out of place in that moment because here I am sounding more professional and using your tactics and she didn't care about certificates or nothing like that. But I had confidence in my qualities and background! She asked how much I want in pay from $17 to $21 an hour. I used your method of asking them for their offer and we'll negotiate it, and she said, " when you talk to the manager in the 2nd interview you can give them a rate." 😮 Is it a good sign when they speak in future tenses??? I'm still very nervous....a part of me felt like I spoke too much.....It's already over and I'm still anxious...... This makes me more nervous than courting/dating! I don't know how to feel...

    Such an open question particularly at the begining of an interview depends upon what role your being interviewed for, what qualities are being sought and in what type of organisation. Could be an exceptionally astute question by Mr lazy Interview Man too. Such a wide open question allows an insight into who you are, how and why you respond in the way you choose. For example any job that isn't loading total value on corporatism process and algorithm.
