At the very start of your job interview, the hiring manager will either say to you,

“Introduce yourself” or “Tell me about yourself”. Your answer to whichever


question they ask is so important for creating the right first impression!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS, “TELL ME ABOUT


YOURSELF” AND “INTRODUCE YOURSELF”?
The main difference is that “tell me about yourself” is more in-depth and covers things such
as the skills and qualities you have, any previous work experience gained, academic and
educational qualifications, and what you will do in the role if they hire you.

The “introduce yourself” interview question on the other hand is a brief introduction of
who you are, the words you would use to describe yourself and the key strengths you
possess that will be of benefit in the workplace!

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR ANSWERS


“TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF”

If the interviewer says to you at the start of your interview, “tell me about myself”, use the
S.E.A.T format to structure your answer.

S.E.A.T stands for the SKILLS you have that match the job description, the EXPERIENCE
and/or EDUCATIONAL qualifications you have, any previous significant ACHIEVEMENTS you
have gained in your life so far, and also the TYPE of person you will be whilst working for
their company.

“INTRODUCE YOURSELF”

If the interviewer asks you to introduce yourself at the start of the interview, use the B.E.A.T
format. B stands for your BEST 3 qualities. E stands for EDUCATIONAL background. A stands
for the ACTIVITIES and interests you have outside of work, and T stands for one area of
TALENT you have that will be of benefit to their company.

“TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF” (SCRIPTED ANSWER)


“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this position with your
company today. I already have the skills and qualities to match the job description. I am
industrious, hard-working, an excellent team worker and collaborator, and I can easily
prioritise tasks to ensure my employer’s goals are always achieved. I have experience
working on time-sensitive projects, dealing with difficult challenges, and communicating
with customers and clients. I have a track record of achievement. For example, in my last
position, I helped the company increase sales by recommending we should advertise our
products and services on social media. If you hire me, I will be the type of person who
always goes above and beyond what is expected, and I will willingly carry out duties outside
of my job description.”

“TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF” (SCRIPTED ANSWER”


“Thank you. My name is [INSERT YOUR NAME], and my best qualities include my diligent
way of working, my resourcefulness during difficult challenges, and my loyalty to others,
including my employer. I graduated from college with useful educational qualifications in
English Language, Computer Science and Mathematics. Outside of work I like to keep myself
active. I visit the gym several times a week which helps my concertation levels and increases
positivity. I also like reading non-fiction books which helps to develop my skills and
knowledge. One of my main talents, which I think will be of benefit to your company, is the
fact I am very good with people, particularly customers, and I have a skill of asking the right
questions to assess a customer’s needs and then provide exceptional service which helps
increases sales and retains customer loyalty.”
