Job interviews can be intimidating, and open-ended questions like “Tell me about yourself” make it even scarier. Give an answer that will impress your interviewers and set your interview off on the right foot.

You Will Need
Job description
Resume

Step 1: Find keywords in the job description（找出简历中自我介绍的关键词，并记住）
Carefully read over the job description and make note of important keywords that will help you learn more about what the employers are looking for. Keep these words in mind as you think about your response to the question “Tell me about yourself.”

Step 2: List professional strengths（列出自己在工作岗位中的优势和强项）
Prepare for this question in advance of the interview. Review your resume, and make a list of at five or six words that define your professional strengths.

Take a personality test, like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, to help you better understand your individual style.

Step 3: Think of a professional success（想想自己在工作上曾经取得的成就）
Think of a professional success you have had, where you helped solve a problem or added value to a former employer’s project.

Step 4: Write a 30-second response to the question（在纸上写一个30秒钟的自我介绍）
Write out a 30-second response to the question “Tell me about yourself” that combines your professional strengths and discusses a past professional success.

Never complain about current or former employers during your job interview. Talk about your hopes for new opportunities, without focusing on issues in the past.

Step 5: Focus on positives and professional experiences（重点描述自己的优点和工作经验）
Focus your response on positive professional experiences. Don’t talk about personal information like marriage, children, or pets.

Step 6: Practice your response（在面试之前自己练习一下）
Practice your response until you can remember the main points. Focus on sounding natural and conversational.

Prepare a list of questions about the job that you want to ask during the interview. Show the employer that you’ve done research on the organization and have thought about the job.

Step 7: Answer concisely and truthfully（真诚，扼要地回答提问者的问题）
Arrive at the interview prepared, giving an answer that is concise and truthful when the interviewers ask you to tell them about yourself. Let your professional strengths shine, and set the stage for a successful interview — and maybe a new job!

According to estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, half of the top 20 fastest-growing occupations in the U.S. are related to the health-care industry.
