Question: Tell Us About Yourself

The "Tell me About Yourself" question is one of the most common questions guaranteed to come up regardless of your sector, experience level or job. It is universally popular and used equally by inexperienced interviewers who hadn't looked through your application before and experienced interviewers who want an initial overall view of you and your skills.

Variations of this question you may hear include:

  • Please talk us through your CV / Resume.

  • Tell us more about you.

  • Please walk us through your portfolio.

  • Tell us something about yourself that's not on your application form.

  • How would you describe yourself?

For many health and care professionals, this question can be a real challenge and even more so for senior candidates with years of great experience. 

So how do you get it all into a short, concise, and powerful answer?
