The interviewer asked me to tell her something about myself that will help her to get to know me as a person. It was clear that she wasn't limited my answer to "work-related" content. I could have told her ANYTHING about myself -- my family, my childhood, my hopes for the future, whatever.

1 Answers

I chose to answer her question by discussing my first job after I graduated from college -- a job that didn't work out very well for me. My supervisor (NOT the person who hired me) was a very ineffective leader, and he made life pretty miserable for me and our entire shift (about 7 or 8 people). The work environment wasn't enjoyable at all for ANYONE. The company didn't make it easy to communicate with management, and I never figured out how to make things better at work. I eventually decided to quit, after only three months. I learned a lot about myself during that three months, and I also learned something about accepting a new job: In the same way that the company is deciding whether to hire me, I also need to be making my own evaluation of the company, to decide whether I want to work for THAT company.
