Hey everyone!

So tell me about yourself.

The most common job interview question of all time.

Usually the thing that they ask you first as an icebreaker when you first sit down at your job interview.

Now there are a million ways to answer this open -ended question

and there's also about a million YouTube videos out there giving you various ways to answer it.

But today I'm going to give you the quickest, simplest, best way I've seen to answer this question.

Okay let's look at this thing from the other side of the fence.

Let's look at it from the perspective of the recruiter or hiring manager.

Usually when you post a position, you get a lot of responses and you may well end up with,

especially these days, with over a hundred candidates applying for the position.

So for you, this is an elimination game.

Your job is to go from a hundred applications down to one candidate that you select.

Now, from the perspective of the job seeker who is being interviewed, you don't know the criteria they use to eliminate people.

Oh sure, there's posted requirements for the position, but the problem is more than one person may meet all posted requirements.

So there's often a hidden criteria that they don't tell you of what will get you eliminated or hired.

For example, something I've seen in the past is a hiring manager who's a fan of a particular sports team

and if you happen to volunteer that you're a fan of the opposing sports team

that may be grounds to eliminate you on the fact

that you might not be a good fit

and this does happen now we're going to make one assumption here

and that is that they've actually read your resume

if you apply for a position and you send in your resume

and then they later receive it and then call you in for an interview usually

that means that they've read your resume not always i have seen cases where that hasn't actually occurred.

But in the vast majority of cases, we can assume this to be true.

So what does this mean?

This means that the content on your resume is safe.

Everything you've written on there did not result in you getting eliminated.

So it's safe content to use.

And we're going to be coming back to that.

Now, when you get asked, tell me about yourself in a job interview, this is what you do.

Start off by saying, well, as you can see from my resume,

that's the first thing you say then go down your resume in chronological order starting with the oldest material

and then getting closer to the present

and finally talking about your most recent experience

this should take about 45 seconds no more than a minute then end with the phrase

and that's what brings me here today and why i'm excited to learn more about this opportunity you

You see, your purpose in a job interview is to communicate to the person interviewing you how you're the person for the job,

how you meet all the qualifications.

That's your purpose in the interview.

You don't want to waste your time talking about something you did 15 years ago

that has absolutely nothing to do with this position and is just taking up time.

That's why you want to summarize your resume in 45 seconds to a minute.

No more than that, really.

See, it's a well -known fact that people absorb and retain only a small proportion of what they hear.

It's like a very small percentage of what you hear that you actually understand and retain and can recall later.

So that's why you want to mention more than once how you meet all the qualifications.

You want to make sure it registers.

So when you get the question, tell me about yourself, all you have to do is say, well, as you can see from my resume,

and then you summarize your resume in about 45 seconds to a minute.

Maybe start with your education, start with your oldest experience, and then come up chronologically to the present, where you end with your most recent experience,

and then you end with the phrase, and that's what brings me here today, and why I'm excited to learn more about this opportunity.

See, you want to spend as much time as possible talking about this opportunity, not stuff you've done in the past.

That's why it's very important to try

and steer the conversation from something you've done years ago to get them to talk about this position

so you can explain how you meet the requirements.

So this is actually part of a new YouTube series I'm doing.

I'm going to go through all the common job interview questions and we're going to talk about the hiring process in general.

I actually teach this at a postgraduate level

and I've been on both sides of it hiring and being hired

so hopefully that'll be useful for you please take a moment now to click the like subscribe

and bell buttons and also be sure to check out my patreon site for some extra content

and consider supporting me there too

so once again i'm bill the company's expert thank you so much for being here and watching my videos you're awesome

Thank you.

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법

먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, hire, eliminate, requirement 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
