TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF...
Very tough to answer in interview. In interview specified questions are easy to answer. It is not a specified question but in answering this question we can impressed the interviewer. It is not a specified question but we have to follow some rules in answering this question. Briefly we answer this question with our career, results, hobby, and experiences.
Such I am Mr./ Miss/ Mrs.......... Completing ( name of the final exam) with ....%. I have complete other curricular activities/ vocational course. My hobby is..... I have done.... if any experiences you have relating to the job. Such on any one can proceed till the interruption by the interviewer. It is very hard to start answering such question but very easy to answer once started.

hmm first of all, before going to interview, do some homework. Interviewer is asking you about yourself, so that he wants to know that will it be a good decision to hire you for that job. So you basically have to show him that you got interest in certain fields(which belongs to that job). Interview is all about hiding your negatives points(i.e defend your negatives) and showing your positives points. Well Be confident and Be Yourself.

Hi there friend... That question is very common in job interviews. It is being aaked becuase they want to test if you know your self. So just give them some infor mation about your self, try to talk about your achievements and link it to what the company does.Don't mention or bring up your weaknesses since they did not ask for it. Try to impress them by answering them confidently.

About my self? hmmmm...well I always have to have breakfast in the morning. My favorite breakfast treat would be eggs and pancakes I like coffee too so, if you see me around at the break room most likely I'm fixing myself some. You'll rarely see me arriving late because I hate rushing especially in traffic. That stresses me out; wears me out and then when I get to work I'm ready to take a nap . I might put a little music(low volume) in my cubicle while I'm doing my work because it puts me in good mood and I makes me enjoy my work a lot more. I won't be knocking at your office unless I REALLY need your help/input..so I won't be bothering for minor things. I try my all first and THEN if I can't continue on my own I'll ask you. Well, I think that covers most of it...If I think of anything else you need to know..I'll stop by again. :))

Hey Sri,
I agree with Alex (whom you have honored the best response). It should start with the NAME. And it must be presented in some impressive tone, as the fellow person before you can not forget it.
e.g. Bond, james bond. No one can forget this style. I
I am not asking to make glossy impression there, but I am trying to convey my message that one must have enough confidence in his/her words that the fellow can be bound to here further.

hi, sometimes this question is difficult to answers as long as you don't know your self. this question in order to check your communication skill.
since it is in interview, so you must sell your values.
the answer, Keep it short and simple, just tell interviewer your self. start with your full name and nick name, highest degree, your qualification, relevant work experience etc, if you have any special skill or achievement, you can mention it. Keep it simple.
