Preparing for the Classic Interview Question, "Tell me About Yourself"

While this may seem like a simple question to which to respond (since you know yourself best!), practice your career story many, many in advance. It’s a simple question to answer when speaking to a friend, but answering on the spot while being evaluated is a little more challenging. Think about the most important milestones in your career and navigate a short story between and through those milestones.  And keep in mind that your response should be brief!  Always leave your audience wanting more.
