I am a fresher. How should I answer the question-“tell me about yourself”?
Ellis Nathan
First introduce yourself. As you do not have relevant work experience to speak about, you should emphasise your academic achievements.
For example, you topped in a subject in your college or won an award related to your field. Then you can speak of your strengths, skills or additional qualifications related to the job. Finally, speak about the project work you did as a part of your curriculum. Mention its special features and what you learnt while doing the project.
