Interviewing a potential employer is not an easy test, even for sophisticated job seekers. Indeed, in the process of a relatively short conversation with a recruiter, it is important to correctly place accents and show your best professional and business qualities.
Very often the employer asks the candidate to tell a little about himself. Thus, he seeks to find out how adequately and quickly he can select the necessary information and correctly present it. Do not answer the question with surprised silence or counter remarks: "What exactly do you want to know about me?" or "The summary describes everything in detail." It is better to prepare a short story about yourself in advance. He must convey to the employer information about you as a professional who has the skills of self-presentation. At the same time, it is important for the recruiter to see your interest in professional development and the desire for new achievements.
Keep your answer short and informative. Do not bring up your personal life unless specifically asked to do so. Start your story with a message about age and marital status, then move on to education. List the universities you graduated from and name your specialty. Here, tell us about additional advanced training courses, if this knowledge may be required in a new place. Mention the level of proficiency in foreign languages and special computer programs, if these skills will be included in the scope of your intended activity.
Next, you need to focus on the development of your career. Do not be long and detailed, communication about professional experience should not take more than five minutes. Place an emphasis on positive professional results and high-profile work accomplishments. Do not criticize the former management, do not give personal assessments of the activities of the team of the former company. End the story by listing the strengths and character traits that help you in your work.
