Funny: &quot;Tell Me About Yourself&quot;

@DaddyEvil I totally agree with you. The interviewee needs to be nonsarcastic along the process. It is not cool to be feeling smarter than the interviewer. There are some information that need to be clarified.

If an interviewEE asked me that "question," I would find it inappropriate as well.

The resume does not necessarily tell everything about you.That question is usually asked to test your verbal communication This is because some people write very good resume but their communication skills are not very good

It is indeed a good way to check on what you had mentioned. Plus, to check the real persona of the interviewee.

I can be a sarcastic person but not in a job interview.

This student is nonsense with this matter.

I am not sure why he is trying to make a fuss about it. I assumed he had an experience like this before.

I think he didn't understand the meaning of the quiz, curriculum vitae talks about your past work experience mainly, but the quiz was about explanation of his identity

You have a point. I also informed the student about these things. Hopefully, he was able to get the main idea.

@Shavkat that's it, sometimes you have to accept everything and be humble in order to get a job

Honestly, he has a point. Why should they need to ask this since all the personal information is transcribed on a CV?

@Shavkat Because a CV tells nothing about the person's communication skills, true self, etc.

That is funny, but he kind of does have a point. Our CV might not tell the interviewer a lot more than our work experience, but they'll usually also have a cover letter and/or an application form that says more. When I get asked to tell someone about myself, I have no idea what they want to know. I mean, they already know the things they need to know that are relevant to the job. I could tell them about my family or my hobbies but do they really want to know that?!

At some point, he has laid down his point. I also wondered why the interviewer needs to keep on asking this question since it is all indicated in the Cover Letter and Curriculum Vitae. I only assumed that they wanted to check if the information were legit or not.

You have a point. There is also the other side of it. What if the interviewer had read it? He or she is checking out the truthfulness of the information on the CV.
