“Tell me about yourself.” How to respond to that in an interview...


Before you worry too much about weird job interview questions designed to throw you for a loop, be sure you have the right responses for the straight forward variety. 

Monster.com has the answers:

• “Tell me about yourself.” Will you fit in around here? Share a real-life story about who you are outside of work. Include a passion or interest that other people might find interesting or relatable.

• “What do you have to offer?” They already have the basics on your resume. This is your opportunity to throw in the extras beyond the job description. Let them know if you’re creative or good with numbers, assuming that’s not already a requirement.

• “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Most organizations want to know you’re applying for the position of your choice. Reassure them you look forward to being a valuable asset by then and will be able to adapt to their long-term needs.
