A lot of people have asked me - So, tell me something about yourself. and I have never been able o answer this. I mean what should you tell when you are asked about yourself. i have been a so so student in my schooling days. I have achieved a bit on stage. i am a good athlete. I love being in company of good people. What will you say?

I don't know I think I am a very boring person. There isn't much to tell about me. That is how I guess I will describe myself. Boring

My name is Maxine and I am 36 years old. My top hobby is traveling and so far in my life I have been to more than 50 different countries. My next will be in mid January to Cape Town in South Africa. I have two miniature poodles that I like to take out for walks. I have two sons that are 13 years old and 19 months old. I would dearly love to have a daughter one day. I like to go swimming sometimes. I love reading and writing.

I guess I describe myself by things I have done, I'm a Mother, a wife, a Banker, etc. But none of that really tells who I am.

First of all Congratulations for reaching 1000 post - not a matter joke. Secondly, I'm a rather introvert personality, who feel comfortable with a core group of people. While in public gatherings I pretend to be smart knowing well I'm not so fit in any kind of mass gathering. Otherwise, I'm very friendly in my attitude and gesture, and highly focused to achieve my goals.

What I can say is that I'm a nice person for those who are nice to me. I love life and want to enjoy every second of it. I think those who are close to me knows me best and can tell my attitude better.

I am a very peace loving person with a very helpful attitude towards others.my friends say that i am passionate about the things that i like the most . i don't really leave my post unless and until i am forced by my morality. some people are good at studies and some at sports, some are very good at social networking while others are good at leading things. only few belong to the all rounder category. but according to me if someone is doing well in his field then he must be allowed to do so. without allowing any screwing to him. do whatever you want except screwing your fellow men...happy new year all.

i'm not good in telling people about myself.. if people ask me things like that just a normal way.. i would just say..."judge me".. hahaha.. but it's another issue if a person ask me because of important matters just like job interview... of course i would say all the positive things about me.. just like i'm the perfect person in the world.. for the sake of the job.. hahaha...

Hi. And if you say that you are the best then the interviewer will find a way to prove that you are not. Then what will you do?

hi , If I am asked to define myself , I would say it in just one line, "I am humble by nature, calm in disposition and pious in attitude". I hope the above statement speaks volumes about me. However, I would also say that I am dynamic and is able to adapt to any situation , any time. I would say that my presence of mind is a plus point for any kind of job I do. I am curios learn anything new and keep myself updated with the knowledge required to grow up in life. I hope the above description is adequate to get a good job. I am truly like that. cheers!!!!!

Yes I know what you mean. I have blogs and websites about my work as a therapist and Zen practitioner, but whenever it says, "write something about yourself" I find it most difficult. What I tend to do is to write down a list of four questions and answer them - What is my name? What do I do? What have I achieved? What are my other interests? I then try and write as if I am writing about someone else because I find that easier for some reason. :-) Derek
