How would you describe yourself? - asked by an interviewer.

Tweet

If you are in front of an interviewer and told to describe yourself, how would you describe yourself? Do you follow an outline when describing yourself? What comes to mind when asked with this question? Do you start with personal details or straightforward talk about your best attributes? When I had my first interviews, and with no advice from anybody, or with no learning from a book or from any resource, I find the question difficult. I find it so because I did not expect it. I find it so because I did not believe in myself. I was too insecure at that time being very young. I believe that it is very important that an individual must do the necessary preparations before plunging for an interview. The question above seems easy but when you do not expect it, you will surely stammer and get lost along the way. How would you describe yourself now if you are in front of an interviewer?
