Dear Das,
Sunil wants some attention. Relax and leave it.
According to him, only George Bush can come and stop this thread. You know we have better things to do, right, rather than requesting Bush...? 😎🤣
And I guess he was some person just interviewed in a mass recruitment procedure. My friends abroad have mentioned how they do recruitments for such contract work. Have you seen ads in the newspaper - "Wanted: Fitters, (No: 15) Workplace: Qatar/Kuwait" (mostly Gulf)?
Such recruits have no interviews. They show some certificate and are directly asked to join because, for these profiles, attitude does not matter.
I guess we were discussing executive profiles and the interview process as such.
Relax about this guy, and please don't wait to respond. He is only trying to defend his statements. I had already unsubscribed to this, but was requested by another person (whom I respect a lot) to have a look at this.
I was concerned about you being worried... so just leave it here. Let Mr. Sunil post and feel satisfied that we are not "eligible" for replying to him. Actually, I feel happier - we do have better things to focus on, right?

Hi Ash Mathew,
Nice reply ..:)
I hope Ravi should understand now and will not post such fullish answers after this...:icon7:
=Ash Mathew;697841]Dear Ravi puppy,
Life is 10% of what happens to it and 90% of what you make out of things that happen. It is not that – things just happen.
Are you not in control of your life? Are you not the person solely responsible for who u r, or who u r not today?
Ravi puppy – There is nothing wrong with that question. Infact – preparing questions before the interviews will not be of much help – only after this question: Tell me abt yourself, the interviewer will find more questions to ask based on what the candidates say. It becomes an “interview” then…
Otherwise – it’s a less effective discussion.
My life did not just happen – I would rather feel embaressed if I have to accept the same like what u accept.
My career was the choice of my interest. I am very passionate when it comes to counseling or handling people issues… and trust me – I love what I do and think it’s the best way to make someone else pay for doing what I love – that’s my Job !!!
Have you had a bad time Ravi? Or have you answered really bad in an interview. Its not abt HR being bad or good. That’s none of the HRs business to be really good and make sure that he/she asks only questions to make the candidate feel comfortable.
Relevance is essential. Be it any role – in life or career: Tell me abt yourself quetion , cannot be neglected.
@ No one expects candidates to say personal issues. My goodness… do u mean that while asking that question (if u were a recruiter?)
Never – and by the way – pls don’t think that when that question is asked you need to talk abt girlfriend, or u being drunk… or life sucking the life out of u. And what makes you think that life sucks for all.
Be careful ravi, if someone asks u this question and if u say all these things – it will be so damn clear even to them that u need to grow-up.
Take care Ravi Puppy!![/QUOTE]

I am thinking the person who restricted their thinking... they are only thinking like this. Yes, Ash, his views are not good, not bad, but he is making you think more and more. That's the positive thing about him. He is a nice guy. Even though many times I argued with Ravi, it does not mean I am taking him negatively. We are not here to have personal fights; we are here to share knowledge, Ash. However, some of them act smart and involve themselves in fighting, and they can't think positively ever.

Hi all!
I completely agree with Asha. There is a perfect sense in these sorts of questions. There is something called a thinking process that varies from person to person. The types are:
1. Concrete Disjunctive
2. Concrete Conjunctive
3. Concrete Serial
4. Concrete Parallel
5. Symbolic Disjunctive
6. Symbolic Conjunctive
7. Symbolic Serial
8. Symbolic Parallel
9. Abstract Disjunctive
10. Abstract Conjunctive
11. Abstract Serial
12. Abstract Parallel
Every level has a different meaning, and the level of a person's capability can be judged by their thought process to some extent. When you speak about yourself, HRs are not interested in what you are saying but how you are connecting those thoughts. How well you can summarize your life in a couple of minutes, and this may help to determine the strategic or generalized levels of the individual, which may help for further processes.
Moreover, the question is asked because you are the person who can answer it best comfortably, and why not make the candidate comfortable with the first question itself. There is absolutely nothing wrong with such questions.

I think Ravi is emitting all his poison. Let him do whatever he wants. I am very much sure he is not able to talk properly during the interview; that's why he is putting this in writing.
Ravi is not eligible as a professional because if he has so much value for time, he will not waste his time in such contradictions. People who have much time can only talk negatively. Creative people always remain positive. Mr. Ravi, if you answer this question, what is it that you are going to lose? In fact, if you don't answer, you will lose the job and be involved in such a dilemma.
Take care and get well soon. My best wishes are with you, dear.

I would like to advise all the HR professionals here on how to conduct interviews.
You can start by reviewing the candidate's resume and asking specific questions to probe further and gather information. For example, you can inquire about the year of graduation and the college attended, then cross-reference this information with the resume.
Next, you can ask about the starting year of employment and the name of the candidate's previous boss. You can also create a scenario where you imply knowing someone within the company by asking if they are familiar with a particular individual in a certain department. This can help uncover any inconsistencies or falsehoods in the candidate's responses.
This approach can be more effective than using the traditional "Tell me about yourself" question.

Hi Jaishree,
"Tell me about yourself" is a common question asked in most organizations today. The purpose of asking this question is not to irritate us; it is asked to check our communication skills and the way we represent ourselves. Based on this question, most organizations will decide whether to choose this person or not. You can introduce yourself in the following ways mentioned below:
1. When asked to "tell me about yourself," say, "I will gladly answer that question, but may I first ask you a question? (They ALWAYS say yes) So that I may better focus my answer, what are the issues you want me to address should you hire me?
2. Think about what kind of person you would like working for you and convey that to the employer.
3. Just list off a few characteristics that you see yourself as having. If it's for a job interview, make all of the characteristics sound as positive as possible.
4. When you're in a job interview, that is NO TIME to be shy. Brag about yourself.
5. Employers love to ask you questions that get to your perception of yourself.
6. Because this is such a common question, it may be a good idea to sit down ahead of time and list 4-5 qualities and examples in your previous experience where these qualities allowed you to overcome a problem or succeed at a task.
7. Your best strategy is to honestly sell yourself and your abilities to an employer to get a job that is a good fit for you, in a company that is a good fit for you.
8. I suggest you go into the interview with a few "talking points" about yourself, in other words, things you want the interviewer to know about you.
Trust the above-mentioned points meet your requirement.

Jaishree

Dear Prashanth,
It is said that the "Altitude a person reaches depends on his Attitude."
So why should one get irritated by a question. The best thing to do is to answer about yourself covering the following aspects of yourself:
i) Educational Qualification
ii) Career Growth
iii) Your expectations out of a job
iv) Your expectations from any organization
v) Your view of life
vi) Your Hobbies
vii) Your family
viii) Your Background
ix) Your achievements
x) Totally - your Physical, Psychological, Personal, Spiritual self.
Feel relieved instead of getting irritated and stressed about the question. It reveals your composure and personality too.

Long back, there was a discussion going on about a question that HR professionals normally ask, "Tell me something about yourself." Many members supported this question, while a few even called it foolish, stating that it is asked when there is nothing else to ask. To those who have been saying the same thing, I hope you will find your answer by watching this video clip.
After reading this, if anybody still thinks that HR wastes time by asking this question, I would say that they need time to mature.

Hi,
I would like to share my view. The question is commonly asked by HR professionals to help candidates feel comfortable during interviews. It serves as a warm-up, allowing everyone to speak at least something about themselves and get accustomed to the flow. It is well-known that this question alone will not determine the selection.

The question is entirely relevant, and if one feels that the interviewer has not gone through your CV or is just wasting time, then you are entirely off the track.
Interviewers very often ask "Tell me about yourself." It's a way to break the ice and make you feel relaxed during the interview. Through this innocent question, he learns a lot about your personality. Share with him a balanced amount of information and proceed as indicated:
Talk about some personal interests which don't relate directly to your work. Examples might include a hobby you are passionate about like astronomy, chess, singing, golf, skiing, tennis, or whatever. Also, mention things like jogging. These passions show that you care for both your mind and body. Attach this to some volunteer work as icing on the cake.
You can now transition to sharing some key professional skills that would help you add value if you were hired for your target job. Be prepared to add a few qualities, skills, and/or areas of expertise that would help you excel in the job. However, be careful not to overwhelm the interviewer with information. You can mention that you are endowed with other skills as well, which will become evident as the interview proceeds. At first, mention the asset and refer only scantily to some proof of how you have used it to your advantage.

Be prepared to add a few qualities, skills, and/or areas of expertise that would help you excel in the job. However, be careful not to overwhelm the interviewer with information. You can mention that you are endowed with other skills as well, which will become evident as the interview proceeds. At first, mention the asset and refer only scantily to some proof of how you have used it to your advantage.
