Tell me something interesting about yourself

I remember my first job interview and mind also went blank when I was asked a similar question. I was really caught off guard. Well, actually, I didn't have any idea then of what questions were asked during interviews. I assumed they were objective in nature, not subjective ones. I mean, something interesting is subjective. People have varied views on what interesting is. So the next time, you just think of things interesting about you. It doesn't matter if it's interesting to them or not. I believe the interviewer put more weight on how you answered the question rather than what the answer was.

Hi Aja! Had I been the one who asked you that question, I would totally say that I will be very interested in your answer. Being a writer and a reader myself, I am always fascinated with other people who share the same interest. I think people who are creative are the most interesting people in this world. There are just so many things that goes into their mind :) I am sure you can think of some other things that you can consider interesting about you and maybe you are just nervous during the interview? It gives us the tendency to space out ^_^

Hmmm, that's a tough one when you're on the spot. I think you answered very well, personally! They're probably expecting a load of pre-prepared, crappy answers so something honest is brilliant. I don't know what I'd say. Perhaps that I used to have really long hair and go everywhere barefoot. Or that I used to have half a dozen pet rats. Or that I can introduce myself in English, French and Japanese. I dunno.

yes ,in an interview ,we already are in a tense feel ,we do not be in a normal way,we do forget a lot of things and stumble upon the question and answers we give.Really we forget everything. And this particular question is such a hard thing "tell some thing about urself" or else "tell something interesting about urself" actually who will like to say the personal things ,no one likes right.

something interesting for me. Oh there are so many things that I recited the fact that I am a man who can do so many things to achieve your goal. That I am confident that I know kkavo life that I love to have fun and I'm a man who keeps his word. I hope you succeed this appoint your desired job. nice day!

I always freeze up on that question when I'm in an interview. In fact, any question pertaining to things that don't relate to my work abilities make me tense, haha. I don't know, I guess I just don't like talking about myself. Most of the time I throw out something along the lines of being extremely creative and having a love for art or something. I need to rehearse answers to interview questions more, maybe, so I don't stutter so horribly every time.

Oh I hate when they ask these kind of questions, you know it's hard when you are not prepared nor someone who thinks well on their feet. I dunno what's interesting about me, I think I'm rather boring actually.

Hi friend, Well this question can be answered in many ways, When it comes to job interview you have to think from the professional's prospective, these questions most often can also be asked by our friends, but answering them is not a big deal as you are not gonna get benefited. According to me, if i was in your place i would have answered that " Regarding myself, i like playing in a team coordinating my friends and arriving to a solution, The next i would answer is I don't depend others to take decision on me. I take decision myself. You see friends, these answers may be quite boring to read but iam sure they make a huge impact on the interviewers mind. Thanks for making a beautiful post, All the best for your carrer.

I can think of a few things but they aren't true and I definitely wouldn't get the job! Perhaps the point of the question is not whether or not the thing you say is interesting but how you engage in the conversation with the interviewer - to see if you can keep them focussed on you and make them feel happy to chat to you.

Question sound like I have heard it before. Well, I might say I can draw, likes pizza and prefer to stay awake late at night. I would not tell so many but just enough. It can get real bad if I'm not ready with an answer.

Hi there! That would be a question I'd never anticipate :) But if I was asked that question? My mind also would go blank as I try to think of an answer....it would be hard to think of one that would also interest her. But people like it when I make them laugh - I could be a clown if I'm in the mood :D, so maybe that would be my answer.

"Tell me something interesting about yourself". What he/she meant was tell me something about yourself that differentiates you from others. Many people have told me about such questions. Like this other day I was watching this movie, and the interviewer asks, how many buttons would it take to fill the room? And the girl answers, with or without you??!! They just need (Want) quick, witty replies.

hey there! Don't worry about it. That happens a lot during interviews. Your answer to job interviews should be focused on your personality on how you do the job or all about your working attitude. That's what the interviewer wants to get from you. And also focus your answer for the benefit of the company you are applying for. When you get used to interview questions you will be able to answer them with confidence. Wish you luck!

Hey,you asked a wonderful question.Like you,my mind also beacame blank hearing this.If anyone asked me like this,my answer will be'The intresting fact about me is,i'm a lazy person who want to be a hardworker,a talketive person who want to be silent,but always cannot do this properly for a long time! How am I?
