Hello simoncomet.. ^.^ The interview would always start by asking you to tell more about yourself. It would be a lot better if you would relate it to the qualifications of the job you are applying for. Also, It has always been my habit when I am scheduled for an interview, I researched the nature of the company that I am applying. Also, I researched for possible questions that would be asked during the interview and I write down my answers and memorize them. This way, during the actual interview, I am prepared and somehow confident to answer there questions. Actually, there are a lot of tips in the net. Good luck... :)

Well,i think it's natural esp when you are nervous. It's hard to deal with nervous,and it make you stutter too. When they asked you the same question next time,be prepared. Or i should say that,interview always starts with that questions. Sometimes being said with another lines like " tell me something interesting about yourself that is not indicated in your resume" So,before going to an interview,write your script and memorized it by heart. Besides,it's all about yourself,so,you don't need to think what to say,just be specific with your qualifications and skills. Try with your friends or relatives,asks them to asks you that question and answer so you will know where and what part you need to improved more. Be confident and be yourself,remember that,the interviewer is also a human,they won't bite you either Smile and they will smile at you.

When I give my first interview for a job then I felt very nervous and I was not able to present my self in front of interviewer and also my communication skills was not so good so I was not selected. But after that I have improved myself than before and now I don’t feel any nervous and I can represent myself in front of an interviewer.
