10. "Tell me about yourself?"
This is typically the first question the interviewer will ask once
you’ve taken your seat. This is the opportunity for the interviewer to
assess you as a person through what you say and how you deliver it. As
they always say, first impression is at utmost important, so you’ve to
make sure you’ve prepared yourself adequately to answer it. Keep it

How should you reply then? Like I said, you should have done your
research on what the company expects from the candidates before heading

(e.g. qualifications, personalities and work experience) are relevant to
the position in question. Therefore, you should only convey information
applicable to what is required for the job, but not irrelevant ones
pertaining to your family or personal events, for instance.
