To effectively answer the interview question 'Tell me about yourself,' it's important to pay attention and spend time preparing and practicing. Walk people through your past experience at a high-level and at a decent clip for timing. Ideally, your response to this question should be done in 90 seconds or less. Organize your past experience chronologically either in a reverse or forward timeline, whichever you feel has more impact. Discussing any weak areas on your resume shows that you are trustworthy right off the bat. Finally, practice out loud in front of a mirror or tape yourself to ensure your response is clear and concise.
