Tell me a little about your skills?
Answer:
The best approach to the first open-ended question is to simply be simple and brief. Start with outlining educational achievements, professional experiences, and any important skills in just a couple minutes. You should be bold, quick, and straightforward.
Once you have provided the outline, start asking questions to determine what the employer is looking to get out of hiring you. Remember, the interviewer isn't wanting to know everything about your life and likely does not care about half of what you have done. If your answer is to long you risk giving to much information that the employer isn't looking for and could be hinder you being hired.
What the employer is wanting to know is:
• Are you able to do the job, and have the skills?
• Are you a good fit for the team and be productive?
• Are you going to create issues, such as leaving shortly after, cause a lawsuit, or try to sue the company, or just be an issue to work with in general?
Pay attention on what it is you do, highlighting what sets you apart from others. Being able to differentiate yourself from the competition is a really smart way to get ahead.
