      By Tim Terry | Leave a Comment

      “Tell me about yourself.”

      It is the most common interview question, and one that a lot of job seekers find difficult to answer. Dana Manciagli provides valuable feedback in this article provided by Career Mojo through The Business Journals.

      Question:

      How do I answer this interview question: “Tell me about yourself”? I struggle with that.

      Advice from Career Mojo:

      I think you are in good company. Most people approach this in one of the following ways:

      • Babble on and on, hoping to say one or two things that interest the interviewer(s).
      • Do a résumé walk-through. This is incorrect because the interviewer didn’t say, “Walk me through your resume.” That’s a different question.

      Sometimes you do well but they go with another candidate for a variety of other reasons. But having said that, it is also possible that you made some interview bloopers.7 habits that will kills your next interview

      When you’re aiming to nail the big job interview, how you speak is as important as how you look. You’ve got the impressive résumé, solid references, and a professional outfit. But careless language could jeopardize your chance of landing that plum job.

      Interview expert Darlene Price offers some insight about the seven common habits that can keep you from truly acing that interview:

      1. Too much information

      Avoid talking too much during the interview. In the business world, time is money. Bosses value employees who speak in a clear, concise manner. By all means, be interesting and use a personable enthusiastic voice, but avoid rambling. Get to the bottom line quickly.
