you, tell me what interview you have coming up in the comments section below the video

and I'll tell you the 5 KEY THINGS to say in your particular answer to this interview

question: "Tell Me About Yourself?" So, just say, you know I've got an Admin Assistant

Interview coming up, or whatever it is you've got coming up, tell me in the comments section

below and I will list the 5 things that you need to focus on in your answer. OK, let's

get straight to it - first of all, 3 IMPORTANT TIPS. Really important tips when answering

the interview question "Tell Me About Yourself?" Tip number 1 - Make sure you relate your answer

to the job description. Ok, so if you do this, you will gain VERY HIGH MARKS for this question;

I promise you. Now, it's important you get off on your interview on the right foot and

by applying what I am gonna tell you during this training video, you will get the best

marks possible. So, here's what you need to do. So, here's a sample job description. says:

Our company is seeking an Administrative Assistant to manage the office, supervise staff and

handle duties for upper management. We are looking for an individual who is efficient

and comfortable being a member of a team. Now, in your response, what you need to do is relate

your answer to this job description, or the job description for the role you are applying

for. So, if we just put that sample job description back up, I have highlighted the key areas

that we need to cross-match in our response. So, they have got there SUPERVISE, HANDLE

DUTIES, be EFFICIENT, be a MEMBER OF A TEAM. So. if that was my job description, and I

was answering the interview question "Tell Me About Yourself?" this is what I would say:

“I am someone who enjoys the responsibility of managing people and I particularly enjoy

completing tasks efficiently for my supervisory managers. Although I am perfectly capable

of working on my own, I do very much enjoy working as part of a team to complete tasks

that are of benefit to the company.” So, you can see there what I have done is very

cleverly and easily, matched the job description. So, you are basically giving the interview

panel exactly what they want to hear. And that's the FASTEST way to get the TOP marks

for this question. Don't forget, I am gonna tell you where you can get to download these

slides very soon. So you can actually use this, and you can use that as a sample response

if you want to. OK, tip number 2: They, the interview panel, are not interested in your

personal life. Now, whilst it is OK to say something about your hobbies and interests

outside of work, keep your answer firmly rooted to the role you are applying for and your

work performance, your values and your ethics. OK, tip number 3: Use positive words in your

answer. What do Imean by that? Well, there is a list of words that I GUARANTEE will resonate

positively with the interview panel if you embed these into your answer. Here they are:

these are the POSITIVE words. You don't need to use all of them, just pick 2, 3 or maybe

4 of them when responding and I will say in a second how to do that. So, examples of POSITIVE

words to use in your answer. I am RELIABLE; I am enthusiastic and committed; I am competent;

I am professional; I am a role model; I am decisive, so I make decisions; I am a flexible

worker; I am self-motivated; I am positive and I am trustworthy. So, you don't need to

write these down because you are gonna be able to download them very soon. So, here's

my sample response using some of these keywords: “I am a reliable, enthusiastic and happy

person who will act as a positive role model for your company. If successful, I will adapt

and learn the role quickly so that I can become a professional and self-motivated member of

your team.” Now that's only 4 lines but that is powerful and that is hard-hitting

and it will come across and resonate really positively with the interview panel. So, I

am using probably 5 or 6 positive keywords there. I am reliable, enthusiastic, happy,

positive, role-model, self-motivated, professional. So, I am using really good words that will

resonate positively with the interview panel. OK, now let's get to the sample responses.

So, I am gonna give you 2 sample answers that you can use during your interview, and at

some stage, I am gonna tell you where you can download these and you can have them on

your desktop or your laptop or your MAC using these literally within 2 minutes to help you

pass your interview. Here we go. Sample response number 1: “I am a happy, positive person

who prides themselves on delivering professional work for my employer. I strongly believe that

if I perform well at work, and I always strive to do my best, I will also be happy in my

personal life. I have a strong work ethic, I am self-motivated and also a very quick

learner. In addition to priding myself on working to high standards, I also have excellent

communication skills and enjoy working as part of a team with other like-minded work

colleagues.” A great answer to the interview question "Tell Me About Yourself?" It's not

too long, but it gets you off on the right foot, and that will PASS, I promise you. Sample

response number 2: “I believe I have a large number of attributes that are a perfect match

for the job description. In work, I am a diligent professional who enjoys the responsibility

of completing projects and tasks to a high standard for my employer. Whilst I am comfortable

working on my own initiative, I also very much enjoy working as part of a team with

other hard-working individuals. I have many interchangeable skills and I am competent

in all Microsoft applications including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Outside of work, I am

a stable, family person who likes to keep themselves fit and enjoys socialising with

my small circle of close friends and relatives.” So, you've got 2 different answers, but they

are POSITIVE. They have the same theme that they are positive and I promise you that they

will gain you very high marks. So, decide which one you want to use, and all you need

to do now is to download the slides. Don't forget to subscribe and, you know, give the
