Ex-Recruiter: The BEST Way to Answer “Tell Me About Yourself

Video Description

Struggling to answer “So… tell me about yourself?” without rambling or sounding like everyone else? 👀 In this video, I share my ex recruiter knowledge and break down a counter-intuitive strategy that makes you unforgettable in interviews – without needing a perfect resume a big personality, or a rehearsed life story. You’ll learn: - The one genius line to say before you answer “Tell me about yourself” (and why it instantly puts you in the top 1% of communicators) - How to use the Present → Past → Future framework so you sound clear, confident and human – not like you’re reading your resume out loud - Exactly how to show personality through your value (not quirky facts or oversharing) - The difference between “I worked in operations for five years” vs “I’m the person companies call when everything is on fire and the deadline is tomorrow” - How to weave in outside interests (sport, music, coaching etc.) so they scream discipline and reliability, not “random hobby” This question is not really about your background. It’s the hiring manager quietly asking: “Do I actually LIKE this person enough to work with them every day?” By the end of this video you’ll know how to: ✅ Open with a line that makes the interviewer pick the *interesting* version of you ✅ Tell a short, powerful story instead of giving a boring biography ✅ Tie your answer directly to their goals, challenges and priorities ✅ Add a subtle touch of personality that makes you *memorable* in under 90 seconds 🎥 WATCH NEXT: 👉 How to Land Any Job Using 6 Psychological Principles Hiring Managers Can’t Ignore: https://youtu.be/T2i3pmVUKjs?si=AjUsWAdHyAxOnGGh 🔥 Work With Me Want to land more interviews with a multi-pillar job search?
