‘Tell me about yourself’

Ditch the dread of that inevitable interview question

The professional editor I am using for my upcoming book, Marnie at Hirstywords, emailed recently to tell me about the first job interview she had attended in 20 years. She was excited to announce her success and how she nailed the ‘Tell me about yourself’ question. Marnie went on to cite the work she was undertaking on my book, The Albino Chameleon – Building The Story Of You around authenticity of communication and articulating your story as the perfect preparation for the interview. “Wow”, I said.

“That’s a serendipitous by-product of the book project,” she added.
