Example:

Tell me something about Yourself?

How to Approach: Generally, this is the first and the most frequent question asked by the interviewer. You should not start to tell all matter of things about yourself. Your interviewer is not looking for a 5 minute dissertation here. Instead, Give to the point answer with a sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from the other candidates.

Sample Answer: Sir, I am a young achiever who is a captain of his team that won the Inter University Football Championship for the first time and I will be very pleased to do the same for my motherland.
