Perhaps the trickiest question of all you’ll face at a job interview

is ‘Tell us a little bit about yourself’. This exercise will help

you formulate the perfect answer to use - whether you’re at a job interview, or when you

or when you need to pitch yourself to someone at an event

or meeting.

”Tell us a little about yourself”……interpretes to:

“Tell us your competence, views of the world, what got you this far and why you’re here, but keep it really short and snappy, so that I can figure out how it relates to what we do and need.”

“What do you do?”....

…interpretes to:

“What can you do for me?”
