Oh, okay, it's time for interview. Tell me something about yourself. Me? I brought in a little time in China. Then I moved to the US. My whole life is very interesting. Let me tell you my first school homework. Hey guys, this is Dr. Nancy Lee. I help engineers and international professionals to become a product manager and business leader. Today we're talking about the most common ask question. The first question you will go into, will you have a job interview? Tell me something about yourself. This sounds very easy, but there's a loss behind it. First of all, the reason people ask you tell me something about yourself was because maybe... Damn, I just got this resume. Introduce yourself. Okay, yeah. You have a chance to read the resume. Okay, so Canada, tell me something about yourself so that you can read your resume at the same time. So sometimes the interviewer, they didn't have a time to memorize your entire resume. So therefore they ask you this question. But in reality, what they meant when they ask you this question is, why are you qualified for this job? So I developed a specific framework for you guys. So follow the four step framework. It's going to help you to crack this quick question. Tell me something about yourself. Let's really understand two most important things. First, you need to make a short and concise. And second, you need to make it very impressive so that people can memorize it right away. You can always say it upfront and saying that, I'm going to give you a quick overview of my experience. If there are any questions, feel free to stop me and ask for more details. So therefore you should always come up with something short and get ready for someone to dig in for more questions. Step one is your name. You can say, I am Dr. Nancy Lee. So in this example, I'm going to give you the product management type of framework because I specialize in teaching product managers. All the example will be more specialized in product management related answers. Okay, after you say my name, Dr. Nancy Lee. The next step is, child, and how many years of experience you have in relation to the job. For example, I would say, I have 80 years experience developing a launching technology product. For you, if you do not have that many years of experience, you can say I have two internship experience related to as a product owner or I have four years product design experience. Everything you say has to be related to the job you're applying for. For example, in this case, it's a product manager job. Now step three is also the most important part. You need to say something they're going to hurt it and fall off the chairs. Something very impressive. For the specific impressive story, the way you structure this is, you can tell them towards any experience you had that make you stand out compared with everybody else. For example, for the technical product manager role, if I cry for, I would say, I'm the youngest engineering PhD. Show them technical and also, I am the youngest engineering PhD. So it's pretty impressive compared with everyone else. And in addition, specifically for the product manager job, I was emphasized on the product launch you had before. For example, I would say, I launched a smart series product that was awarded as a mayor's best practice in 2017. It was also quickly deployed in ten different series. So that you able to show that the impact you have made instead of I wrote requirements, I did design, but so what? Please say something very short and concise about the impact you have made. And then if you have long career promotions, for example, you launch several products, you can also show them your career promotion. For example, you can say, because the success of the product, I was promoted to lead the team of senior product managers to build a product portfolio for a platform. So these are all show your leadership potential for the next job. If you do not have leadership experience, you can also summarize regarding I have launched ten different products in the technology sector or in retail industry. Two of those was awarded as something else or two of those had millions of users. So everything you say has to be resumed driven. You can save all the details later on for the interview itself, but in reality, once you hook them using your impact, they definitely would like to ask you more. This is what you need to do. Now step four is you need to summarize regarding what you're looking for. So if this is a networking situation, you can tell others, I am looking for the product leadership position or I'm looking for the product manager position in the supply chain industry. Now this is what you're looking for. If at the job interview, you can pivot it as I'm looking forward to join a company where I'm interested in using AI, whatever cutting edge technology to make impact and help consumers to address problems. So this is emphasized on what you are looking for and type of roles make you excited. So this is the four set framework to answer these questions, tell me something about yourself. So the rule of thumb is that for each 40 point you have, you may have like two sentences or max to emphasize on the impacts you have, then shortly with one sentence summarize what you're looking for and of course one sentence talk about how many years experience you have. Alright, so today this is the framework I share with you. Believe me, this is very, very impactful that is going to open lots of doors for you and networking event and also the first round of the interview. Please make sure you practice to make it easy for you. I already create a step by step guide with examples of how I apply my own experience into the specific framework.
