Sadly, there aren't people standing around passing out jobs like pancakes. You need to actually prove your worth in a interview to get one. In interviews, you're not simply sitting around talking about the weather, the guy wants to see if your worth the salary You don't throw money at a frog in a swamp to work the IT department at your company.
"Tell me about yourself."
This is one of the most popular questions a interviewer can ask you. One of the reasons it's so difficult, is because you're not sure what to say. Do you start talking about your childhood woes and accomplishments? Do you start buttering yourself up with all of your diplomas? Who knows?
This is a photograph of me a few days ago.
In reality, when they're really asking you is what you're capabilities are and your 'personality'; Can you push difficulties aside, and still get the job done without tearing your hair in a screaming fit? Because despite common belief, the world does not revolve around you.
When asked this question, be prepared to tell them about your personality, skills, job experiences, work history and work ethics. Stick to the facts, try not to start wandering off about your job back in 09' where you met the most good looking girl you've ever seen that later turned out to be your wife or something along those lines.
