Why the question Tell us a bit about yourself is the hardest.
Everyone knows it is coming. Everyone has heard it before. And yet, this is the question that trips up many candidates.
The pitfall? Saying too much or saying too little.
- Briefly: who are you?
- Relevance: what have you done that matches this role?
- Ambition: what do you want to achieve in this position?
This shows that you know yourself, that you fit the organization, and that you are forward-thinking.
How would you present yourself convincingly in 30 seconds?
