How to Answer the Question, โTell Me About Yourselfโ | Christine vs. Work 25 Jun 2020 --- ๐๐ช๐๐จ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ผ๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐๐๐ฎ! โจ https://www.youtube.com/c/HBRAscend โจ It may seem like a softball, but it's actually the toughest job interview question. Here's how to nail it. Letโs be real: โTell me about yourselfโ isnโt even a question. It sparks instant anxiety for most. Where do I start? Whatโs most important? How much of myself do I reveal? Also, ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ am I? Innovation Editor Christine Liu decided to tackle these questions head-on with the help of Joel Schwartzberg, author of, โGet to the Point! Sharpen Your Message and Make Your Words Matter.โ With a few practical steps--like matching who you are with the companyโs needs and mission--youโll have more answers than questions next time someone says, โTell me about yourself.โ Filmed in Fall 2019. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
