@Sleek thanks for your contribution still need more comment h-o-u-s-e pllllsss your comments,biko,ejooor
i think this should be just a short intro about urself after which your interviewer gets down to the business of asking you questions from which he will be able to ascertain if to employ you.
i suggests you keep it brief and down to:
your name
age
course of study
nysc and working experience (brief i sentence statements for both cases)
and a summary (one or 2 sentences) of why u think are the best man for the job
do all this and in a smart manner and i guarantee u you are sure to impress the interviewer.
i Think both questions are d same bt jst asked in different ways. The interviewers jst wants a brief description of urself viz a viz, name educational bakground, working experience etc. keep it simple nd 2d point
D Question is D same Tin,so dont be confuse
May we know u should be in 'KISS'(Keep It Short and Simple)
About ur self means in 'Details'
Though it sounds the same but I concur with Mortune with 90%.
It is practically the same thing. Just a way of saying something in defferent ways. Enjoy, dont be confused.
I think the two questions are the same
they are the same for sure
May we meet you, simply implies give us a brief detail about yourself while tell us about yourself is all encompassing that is your detail profile but you must be very conscious the kind of panel you are facing cos to some sole proprietor it might mean the same thing to them. so the audience/panel most of the time matters. best regards.
To answer your question, there is no difference. Forget what anybody tells you about one being brief and the other detailed. Infact these are only 2 of the many ways in which the question can be asked. Sometimes you could be asked that same question and probably wont realise it. You just need to be relaxed, be yourself, dont restrct yourself to a straightjacketed format. Feel the flow and flow with the feel.
never shortchange urself in an interview.Its better to say more than what ur interviewer wants than to say less than what he expects.In other words,make sure u give a 3 minute advertisement of urself anytime u are asked any of these 2 questions.There is nothing like one is brief and the other is detailed.same ni.
Please the question can be asked either way.
My contribution here is this:
Don't go wasting time talking so much about what they can readily pick from your CV,you can be brief on that except when possibly you want to state your class of degree(if very fantastic).
Tell them some things about yourself that isn't in the CV.
Example:
1.You started leading people from Pry 1 as the class captain.
2.You play so hard(good in sport) and yet came out with outstanding results---multi-tasking.
3.You are always a motivator in a team and go the extra mile assisting team members.
Etc.
Good luck!
They are the same.... an oppourtunity for u to sell yourself...be detailed. Possibly keep talkin until ur interviewer tells u he has heard enuf.
