But wait. Should you start revealing personal information about yourself? No. This isn't a beauty contest or game show. How to Answer: This is not a question you should try to wing off the top of your head. You need to write down a careful answer to this question and practice saying it out loud again and again. ** Prepare a Script List five strengths that are directly related to this job and incorporate them into a 'Tell Me About Yourself' mini script. You want to keep the focus on your past job experience and what you personally bring to your position(s): Example: 'I have been in the ________ industry/business for the past ______ years.' 'My most recent experience has been ______.' 'One reason I enjoy this business is _____.' 'In my last job I ________.' 'My real strength is my ________.' 'What I'm looking for now is _______.'
