As you prepare for your next job interview, here are three things you probably did not know as a candidate.
2
First, studies have shown that 33% of interviewers make a decision within the first 90 seconds of the interview,
3
which is usually when we're answering, tell me about yourself.
4
Second, 46% of applicants are successfully using ChatGPT and Google Bard throughout their job search process.
5
Meaning number three, if you're not using these free AI tools,
6
there's a good chance someone less capable than you is performing better in job interviews.
7
So in this video, I'm gonna show you how to prepare the perfect answer to the tell me about yourself interview question using ChatGPT, a real job posting as an example,
8
and the present, past, and future framework.
9
Let's get started.
10
Step one is extremely simple.
11
Simply input this prompt within ChatGPT.
12
You are a seasoned hiring manager with over 20 years of experience.
13
You are responsible for this job posting.
14
Highlight the three most important responsibilities in this job description and you paste the job description.
15
I'm gonna be using this sales operations opening at Netflix as an example.
16
I have zero experience in sales operations to show you this method works for anybody.
17
I'm just gonna copy everything down here, Command C, go back to ChatGPT and paste the job description.
18
Within literally a minute, we're able to cut through the noise and understand what the hiring manager is really looking for.
19
First, this role requires close collaboration with the sales team and the success metric is to drive advertising revenue.
20
Okay, makes sense.
21
Second, we need to be familiar with sales process management, data hygiene and sales tool development.
22
Okay, I'm not exactly sure what those are, so I'm gonna circle back later.
23
Finally, we need to conduct a pipeline
24
and business reviews on a regular basis to make sure the sales team is on track to hit their targets.
25
So basically preparing slides, charts and presenting to stakeholders, simple enough.
26
At this point, because I've zero experience in sales operations, I would normally need to start researching on some of these topics
27
and brainstorm ways to connect to what I currently do in marketing with what we just learned about this new role.
28
Because remember, the best answer to tell me by yourself connects what you currently do with the role you're applying for.
29
It is not a one-sided self-introduction.
30
But now we have ChatGPT, we can simply move on The step two and input, based on the three most important responsibilities you just identified,
31
use my resume to structure a convincing answer to the tell me about yourself interview question.
32
Use the present, past, and future framework.
33
Create a separate header two for each section.
34
The present is a snapshot of my current career situation as it relates to the job description.
35
Limit this part to 100 words.
36
The past should only include one previous work experience that's most related to the new role.
37
Limit this part to 50 words.
38
The future should draw a connection between my career trajectory and the new role.
39
Feel free to get creative here.
40
Limit this part to a hundred words.

43
I'll link it down below.
44
Looking at this output from step two, I would say it's 80% there, but I definitely still wanna make some changes.
45
So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna copy and paste this into a Google doc And to save you all some time,
46
I'm gonna snap my fingers and walk you through all the changes that I made.
47
Starting with the present section, the first two sentences is a snapshot of what I do right now.
48
The next two brings up my success metrics, driving revenue for Google App campaigns and achieving over 100% year-to-year growth.
49
The part I hide it in yellow here, one of my significant achievements has been the creation of an evergreen B2B acquisition campaign,
50
is a specific example, ChatGPT thinks the interviewer will find relevant.
51
I cut this part out because number one, the point has already been made.
52
I don't need another example.
53
And number two, it was too long.
54
The present section can only be a hundred words in order to keep the entire answer within two minutes.
55
And right now, command shift C, yep, it's 96, perfect.
56
Pro tip, make sure to cut as much fluff as possible.
57
In the red strikethrough here, you can see ChatGPT says I delivered exceptional results, which is very subjective.
58
A 15 times return on investment is an objectively strong achievement.
59
Nothing too different in the past section.
60
ChatGPT gave two examples of my previous experiences.
61
I picked one that was more relevant to the sales operations role and removed the other.
62
The future portion is a bit trickier.
63
ChatGPT starts off by giving us a very smooth transition.
64
Looking ahead, I see a strong alignment between my career trajectory and the sales operations role at Netflix.
65
That's a really good way to word it.
66
But I had to add two sentences myself, which I highlighted in blue here.
67
In the short term, I believe my existing skill set will help with a faster ramp up, while in the longer term,
68
I'm excited to round out my B2B capabilities in the sales operations team.
69
As you can probably tell by now, this strengthens the connection between what I'm currently doing with the requirements of the new role,
70
successfully addressing the interview's concern that I don't have any experience in sales operations.
71
ChatGPT again does an excellent job with the the wording by finishing off strong.
72
I'm confident that my experience in A, B and C will make me a valuable asset to Netflix's mission of becoming a premier platform for advertiser partners.
73
As a bonus for everyone who stayed until now, I'll link this exact document with the prompts down below

75
or walk me through your resume.

Interview-Tipps: "Tell Me About Yourself" perfekt beantworten

Hintergrund: Warum diese Frage so wichtig ist

Die Frage "Tell me about yourself" ist oft der Start eines Job-Interviews – und 33 % der Interviewer entscheiden sich bereits in den ersten 90 Sekunden. Das bedeutet, deine Antwort muss sofort überzeugen. Zudem nutzen 46 % der Bewerber KI-Tools wie ChatGPT, um ihre Chancen zu steigern. Ohne diese Unterstützung riskierst du, hinter weniger qualifizierten Bewerbern zurückzubleiben.

5 praktische Tipps für eine überzeugende Antwort

  • Nutze KI-Tools, um die Stellenbeschreibung zu analysieren: Lass ChatGPT die 3 wichtigsten Aufgaben der Stelle identifizieren – so weißt du, was der Interviewer wirklich sucht.
  • Verwende das "Present, Past, Future"-Framework: Strukturiere deine Antwort in aktuelle Situation, relevante Vergangenheit und zukunftsorientierte Verbindung zur Stelle.
  • Verbinde deine Erfahrung mit der Stelle: Deine Antwort sollte nicht nur ein Lebenslauf sein, sondern zeigen, wie deine Fähigkeiten direkt für den neuen Job nützlich sind.
  • Optimiere die KI-Antwort: ChatGPT liefert eine gute Grundlage, aber passe sie an – füge spezifische Erfolge und Beispiele hinzu, um sie persönlicher zu machen.
  • Übe mit Shadowing: Nutze eine shadowing site oder "shadow speak"-Techniken, um die Aussprache und Intonation deiner Antwort zu verbessern – so klingst du selbstsicher und flüssig.

Wie du Shadowing effektiv für Interviews nutzt

Um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und die Antwort flüssig zu präsentieren, empfehle ich Englisch Shadowing: Höre dir die von ChatGPT generierte Antwort (oder eine verbesserte Version) aufnahme, wiederhole sie sofort nach, und passe Rhythmus und Betonung an. Mit "shadowspeak" trainierst du nicht nur die Sprache, sondern auch die Selbstsicherheit, um in der Ecke überzeugend zu wirken. Tipp: Übe zuerst langsam, dann erhöhe die Geschwindigkeit – so lernst du die Struktur und den Flow der Antwort internalisieren.

Mit diesen Schritten kannst du nicht nur die "Tell me about yourself"-Frage meistern, sondern auch deine Chancen, den Job zu bekommen, deutlich steigern. Denke daran: Die beste Antwort verbindet deine Geschichte mit den Bedürfnissen des Arbeitgebers – und KI und Shadowing helfen dir, das perfekt zu vermitteln.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
