It’s true that interviewers want to find someone who fits the job requirements. At the same time, they want to know the “real” you too, which is exactly what you should address when you start answering the question – “Tell me something about yourself.” So, to start with who you are as a person, offer a peek into your family and personality. If you have hobbies and interests that are related to the job or reflect well on your overall personality, be forthcoming in sharing those. For example, crossword puzzle lovers come across as those interested in intellectual learning while someone who loves yoga displays his/her penchant for living a healthy and balanced life. If you have done volunteer work, sharing that would show your strong character and serious commitment to the community’s welfare. Strike a balance on what you want to share, ensuring that it’s neither too much nor too little. At the same time, keep the bigger perspective in mind (that you are here to get a job). Don’t go overboard in describing your love for jazz, skateboarding, and Cosmopolitan.
