Hello. As a man, living in Russia and studying foreign languages, i want to express my gratitude to you for such an informative content. In Russian part of KZfaq there are only grammar videos and something like “how I leaned English”. But the work you’re doing greatly helps me to improve my communicational skills and to look at the language I study „from inside“. Thanks a lot, keep it going!

I got a new job yesterday guys. I killed it at the interview

- How was your job interview yesterday? - Well, I entered the office, found a man sitting on a large black leather chair with feet resting on the table... He pointed towards his Laptop, asked me to take it and go outside, then come back and try to sell him the laptop.. He thought himself as actor Leonardo Di Caprio of "The Wolf of Wall Street" movie.. So I took the laptop and left.. - Left...!! Then what? - Nothing 30 minutes later he called me up... begging me to return his laptop to him coz all his work and important documents were in it.. So I asked him: *Will you buy it ??*

I cannot believe but after watching your video I have been offered the job!!! :) I had 19 interviews for last 9 months with no success. So thank you so much!

I was never able to answer this question better in my life.. just had an interview and I impressed my interviewers .. thank you Sir

2023. Thank you for this. Between 2019 and 2023 I was able to progress from 1 job to another growing both in experience and knowledge while advancing to bigger and better companies all solidified from past jobs. This Video has helped me many times in preparation for interviews with future employers. Thank you. Thank you Thank you.

this is no Joke. this Video has helped me get two different jobs. i have always come back to it for all my interview and shared it to colleagues and friends. great one

I saw this video yesterday and cleared my first round. sending lots of good wishes to whoever has interview. You can do it.

This is by far THE BEST video on how to answer the question "Tell Me About Yourself". It explains: 1) What interviewers REALLY want to hear. 2) The main points you should include in your answer and in what order 3) How to deliver the answer (Duration / Tone of voice / Gestures /Attitude) 4) and most importantly an ACTUAL EXAMPLE!!!

I have an interview next week, tell me about yourself is the most challenging part for me, but watching this video made me relax a little bit. wish me, well guys.

He is like my Father giving me a detailed instructions and inspirations coming from his heart,that's why i love this video.

I just watched this right before my interview and guess what???? Interview that takes maximum 10 minutes for all before me took about 30 minutes when I entered. It turned out to be a conversation between them and I. They actually asked how much of a notice I need to give to my employers before I quit. I think I got the job 🕺🕺🕺

Interviewer: "So tell me about yourself" Me: "Well...I was born at an early age..."

Few months have passed by since I last saw this, and I got what I wanted !!! I'm here to thank you, good sir. May you get all the best things in life. MILLION THANKS.

Hey! I watched your videos several times before I go for my interview. Today, I got the call saying: You are accepted for the traineeship position. Thank you.

I’m 15 2 years away from getting a job and I’ve been reviewing lots of advice for a the future job I want and your tips where very helpful I took notes on this thank you so much!! God bless you

Got the job!! Thank you so much, I’ve failed many interviews before and every one of them asked this question. After watching this video and using it in my next one, got an offer the same day. Amazing advice!!

In brief, you have to convince them that they need you not you need them... 😊 You aren't only an English teacher but a life teacher too...👍

I'm now fully prepared for this janitorial position

The example he gives at the end for anyone that needs it (obviously change it to match your own experience and the role you've applied for). I would describe myself as someone who is versatile and determined and someone who loves learning. I am creative, open minded, easy going and I enjoy working with others. I try to use all these qualities in my professional life. For the last 6 years, I have been working at (insert company name here). I started out at the help-desk where I worked closely with clients and I built some good relationships. After that I did a number of roles in the company and have been promoted several times. Now for the last 3 years I have been working as a project manager. The company has been pretty successful and I’d like to think that I contributed to that success. My team has been developing accounting software for the publishing industry and within 2 years, we’ve come from nowhere to being the number one product in the field. Actually, I wasn’t looking for a new job as I am quite happy where I am and I came across your job advertisement by accident. But I really captivated my imagination. Your company is renowned for being one of the most innovative in the sector. I know this might be a more senior role than my current position, but I do have the skills, experience and the passion you need. I do believe I can make a positive impact and that is why I am here today. In a nutshell that is who I am as a professional and when I’m not working I like to go hiking on the weekends and I like reading books.

I'm watching this right now as I have a phone call interview this evening. This episode really turns me on and I'm working on reorganizing my self-introduction. Big thanks from China. Great day and good luck to myself : )

This is the second of several of your videos I planned to watch in preparation for an upcoming interview. I must admit that your information isn't JUST for interviews. Your tips for the 'TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF' question are applicable everywhere. I learned more in a few minutes here than I did in a weekend at the library. Thanks again.

I like this guy. English is not my first Language but he speak very clearly

Got the job just because of watching your videos!!!There were 2 rounds and I just got the appointment letter now!Thank You!!!

You honestly have no idea how many people you help with these videos... Me included!!! Have an interview tomorrow with a dream job!! Let's see how it goes!

Tomorrow a have an interview, in english ! I listen to your video several times. I did't memorise the answer by I started to speak about myself home alone :)) I know I don't have a good english, I am rather afraid, but at least is not my mother tongue, so I try to be more confident. Now i'm practicing my english by writing you a comment. Hello from Romania ! You are a great teacher ! You motivate me to improve my english. I don't give up !

I watched all your videos on interview and I got the job. The first interview got me the job. Thank you. Your channel brings luck! I think it's your confidence, humor, and playful attitude overall. On interview I looked laid back, positive, and asked them only one question - "what's your company's vision?" They said they fell in love with me ))) Thanks again!

I think I can't find good teacher better than you.... ALLAH BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.... A BUNDLE OF THANKS

6:42 I've never worried about my Grandma during an interview.

Hiring Manager: Tell me about yourself Alfie Salomons: I know what I know, right, if you don’t know, you dont fucking know, do ya?

Exactly this question has been my worst nightmare for over three years. One day I finally proceeded to convince myself to go to one competition in english conversation and this was the very first thing that they had asked me about. I'll tell you this, I failed it miserably. Thank you pal, the video has helped me a lot, especially the part when you are showing us an example on how to solve this. I'm just hoping that this shit is never going to happen to me again :D.

interviewer: tell me about yourself Me: You tell me

Thank you for your practical advices. This has been a question I never knew how to answer and as a consequence I realize clearly why I failed so many job interviews.

OMG. In the final example, you totally nailed it. I got a huge idea about how to start & how to end. Thank you so much. Keep teaching us with these.

Hi there, after 100% following your advice, I got the job :) Big big thanks!!

I follow this channel now for a month and this guy is a real teacher. So well spoken..

Hiring Manager: Tell me about yourself Tommy Shelby: Have you ever been to France?

i'm looking for a ojt and i've interviewed several times but i always cause i'm prepared to answer their question and this week i'm going to have an interview again. so, i search on how to answer some commom questions like this. you know it this video really helps me. and i think with the help of this video i can answer their questions with confident eventhough english isn't my native language. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and helping others, like me, on answering question like this.

Interviewer: tell me about yourself Me: pass

While told by others trying to be a salesperson to sell yourself to the employer, what is refreshing in this video is that we are told that we have to be/try to be attractive in the conversation.

Thanks, I got the job. This was my second interview! Frankly, it didn't went that way strictly. He just saw that I love to work with software (I'm a civil engineer) from the first question and we started talking about that and the current state of BIM and Hydrology studies. The conversation was really good and fluent, having this conversational basis helped me alot!. Thank you!

I got hired! I downloaded your video, watched it on the day before the interview and a few minutes before that too. Thank you!

when you introduced yourself I was clapping for you man

Whole video is very informative but those who are in hurry skip to 08:08

I failed at some interview as a fresh graduate and it is so discouraging when you failed at an interview of your dream job. As a result, I watched this video for some aspirations on how to improve my interview skills. I would say this video is really helpful for me. I would try to talk more about my characters using adjectives and talk a bit about my career interest and plan as well in my future interviews. And I really like the part of a mock self introduction by you, that is quite helpful to me. I could know exactly what a good self-introduction is. I would say the part you mentioned about your accomplishment is really fascinating. I will learn from you and thanks a lot for the video!

This video said a lot (not the joke), I really enjoyed watching it, the presenter made it clear ... formal & informal

I'm 15 and have an interview for a 1st year apprentice as a chef tomorrow. I'm so scared:) 😳😆

I got curious and clicked right away. After a while, I noticed all the people saying thank you and seeing this because they have an interview. To the ones seeing this in the future. I hope you get the job :) -Stillatcollegeboi

Hi sir ! I'm from drcongo, I speak French and I really appreciate your English , it was so clear to hear and to understand it , god bless you .

The way you start and end the answer was amazing. Another thing, You cover many perspective in your answer. Thank you so much for helping us!

Are you the new English teacher? Yes, I are !

You are correct. The companies absolutely do not want to hear one's life story. And yes, it is a provocative question. That means that an interviewer was assigned to meet with you, whether he/she wanted it or not. So the interviewing person needs to make you talk, instead of asking specific questions and analyzing your answers. They have only one question in mind, "What is the benefit for us if we hire you?", like talking to a salesman.

"What would you like to know?" was my answer to that silliest of all silly questions. I'm old and retired now, but in my mind it is still a silly question.

I just failed my interview today, a little too late before discovering your channel. Things would be more favorable if it was otherwise.

Dear Gideon, you are really a good communicator. It's a pleasure stay to listen you! See you next video 😊

Don't think he is helping out, but he is just helping himself by the youtube clicks. He is smart to touch the right chord "Tell me about yourself" but folks, no solutions whatsoever, it's actually quite easy, try not to do what ever these self help guru's tell you.. Not many are out here to "Help you" Think "Why should he / she help you?" Try it out with your closest pals who are also on the job lookouts; share, practice,breathe and relax. Hit it out like a pro. Good luck.

I always answer that with, "Well, I really enjoy interviews. Can't you tell? *Feigned nervous chuckle*" Usually gets a laugh and breaks the ice. 😅 Then I give my real answer, which is similar to the example given.

Thank you for the video! I just got a job as an ESL online teacher and I did exactly as you advised us and it worked for me! Thank you so much! :)

Brilliant video and content. Extremely useful lesson to learn. I know I’m going to remember to use this information not only when asked at job interviews, but on meeting people throughout my life. This is a hugely important lesson and I’m eternally grateful to you. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I watch heaps of your videos last night and had my interview this morning. And guess what, I GOT THE JOB!!!! After 100 plus resume sent online and 20 unsuccessful interviews!!Thanks so much! May you continue to inspire and help everyone! 🙏☺️❤️

I wish every English speaker spoke as clearly as him.

8:00 I was amused for 2 minutes straight 😮 SALUTE !!!!!! ❤

"Keep it brief" *3 MINUTES!* 3 minutes seems like forever in a job interview.

First of all, I would like to say thanks a million for helping me out preparing for my interviews. I learned from your video and have been successful so far and managed to impress management and HR at the same time. At present I am working in one of the top Innovation companies in the world. Thanks again :-)

I have watched your vedios and I successfully got one of my dream work, iam working one of the best hospital in my town ( somalia Buro) Thanks to you sir very much your vedios helped me alot 😊

That was an outstanding video! The example answer at the end gave me a good sense of what needs to be said and about how much time to say it. Thank you!

This helped me get my 1st manager job! Thanks!

I have an interview in an hour, and binge watching your videos to help with nerves. They're so helpful!

Honest comment.. i have seen multiple videos and have been through many interviews...this guy is awesome. His responses are perfect and sound professional too especially for experienced individuals.

I am glad I came across this very helpful video ahead of my interview tomorrow. I feel a bit more confident and ready to ace the interview. Thanks

2 minutes top chrono, his example speech.. Nice and brief

This example is so smooth and blends the personal and professional soooo well!

I have my second interview tomorrow, i failed the first one ,mainly because i am a shy person and was a bit scared about whats going to happen, then i went there nervous during the first 10 minutes then it went easy when i realize that the interviewer is not here to eat me but just talk and ask some questions, but it was too late. I am sure tomorrow is going to be a great day. I WILL GET THAT JOB

I would to thank you for hour grear strategy for interview. I used you advices in my job interview ans got the job offer. Hope everyone gets their dream job

I'm going for my interview tomorrow morning 😊.... so thanks for the tips n please do wish me good luck✌️

To be honest... You gave the best answer I've ever listened to about this tricky question! Chapeau

I must say this gentlemen is brilliant at what he does. I went for an interview two weeks ago for a senior position (Assistant Director) and got the job. U.K market now almost certain will have a question about diversity & inclusion just a tip. Watching his other videos for the interview preparation were very helpful. Good luck all and make sure you study the Job Description (JD) very well.

I will comment back if I get through my interview. Wish me luck men.

Love your advice! I always hated the “tell me about yourself” question but now I have a better idea on how to answer it. Thank you!!

After your example I said out loud “You’re hired!” 😂

You are my best tutor ever. I have learned numbers of missing points that i have been misunderstood for ages. Big thank.

OMG great content! I just want to verbally plagiarize your "Tell me about yourself" example. I got my 3rd round interview tomorrow and as time gets closer I get more nervous and feel like all that I've practice is forgotten. I've been through a few interview processes in prior jobs where I"m interviewed at least 4 times. wish me luck

Wow! Perfect answer I never knew all the while, thanks for the congratulations, I got the job. God bless you

Thanks to this amazing teacher I finally got a Job. You are the best.God bless👍👍👍❤

Of all videos I have watched, this is the only one that makes sense. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your tips! I was hired!

Hiring Manager: Tell me about yourself Arthur Shelby: I'm Old Testament

When an interviewer asks me to "tell about myself," I describe how great and wonderful I am.

I would say you're among the top three English teachers worldwide.

Plus, as we've discussed earlier, one or two 'mild swearings' wouldn't go amiss.:-) Seriously, I've listened to you with great excitement even though I'm looking forward to retirement rather than a new job interview. But you gave us a great tip, which is always valuable for me, and yet I tend to forget about it: when (in certain circumstances) an Englishman asks you a question, you need to know the answer he expects, and not the answer you want to give. A typical example, to begin with, is 'How d'you do?" or more modern "Alright?' And I need to make my statements shorter. Now.

I go t the job and this video and another one from your channel help me to achieve this goal. Thanks a lot

I have like 12 years IT experience if I look back to all my interviews which I went through in the past. For this question I would take a long time repeating the same things that are there in my CV. In fact I remember in one interview interviewer had to stopp me as my answer was too long and I took 17 minutes and still was going. After watching your your video I realize the mistake I was making. In my future job interviews, now I know how much of what to say, Thank You Sir

I am retired now and out of the workforce. Every point you made I have seen in practice. So listen up you applicants!!

I love it....you are assuring and motivated for a job interview...THANK YOU VERY MUCH...

This guy kinda looks like Count Dracula in Hotel Transylvania 🤣

This is one of the best I have seen. Clearly explained. Thank you.

I should have watched this prior to my interview but I did do a lot of what you said. It came naturally to me and I thank God I got the job. Interviews are nervewrecking but I knew I was good for this position and I was just myself. That’s what they want. Be yourself, respect the company and show you care by knowing the company before you go in. I had “stalked” the company on Facebook to figure out their owner and some news that happened to some of the employees in the company so they were great add-ins throughout interview. We talked about the owner and I think that drove it home. When you truly care about the people in the business, they notice, and that means you care about the customers as well. Be natural, be knowledgeable, be confident.
