  • Whenever i am asked to tell about myself to interviewer i start telling him but then i feel that i am reading my cv , like telling him everything about academics and percentage of marks etc. This all is already written in cv . I dont know whether this impresses interviewer or not but i want to know what an interviewer want to hear from us when he asks ' tell me about yourself ' ?

    If your resume is your complete representation of you, then you may declare so. But interviewers are typically looking to know what's beyond your resume; maybe the lighter, social side of you. If you are repeating things mentioned in the resume, you're simply wasting time.

    This question has been discussed in depth before. Do go through following discussions -

    ACCORDING TO ME,MOST INTERVIEWERS WOULD PREFERABLY SEE HOW YOU ANSWER RATHER THAN WHAT YOU ANSWER............

    In most cases, this question indicates that the interviewer hasn't read your resume before coming to the interview. Your answer buys him the time to read it and also saves him some trouble reading it!!

    if so then answering the question (i.e. tell me about yourself ) in a 'cv reading' manner would be a help to interviewer .

    Tell interviewer..
    "I guess you didn't find your PRECIOUS time to read my CV, so here it is..." 😁

    If "CV reading" means repeating word-by-word, then you're in trouble. That means
    - you have poor conversation skills
    - possibly, somebody else wrote your CV
