Hey everyone,

Hope interviews etc are going well...I've got a quick question.

When interviewers ask you to "tell me about yourself" what exactly are they looking for? How do you guys approach the question? Ive only gotten the question maybe twice but I'd just like to be better prepared when I do get it again. I feel silly doing the whole "well, i was born in...yadda yadda" schpiel. Lol...is that what they want? Or am I off?

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks 🙂
