Your summary

Tenses: Present, past and future.

I am currently working for Kraybourne as an account executive, I manage their entire Client portfolio. I used to work as a Client liason manager for Zana managing their top performing client's and I have always had the want and need to focus on International business which is why I am so exited about this opportunity to work with an International client portfolio.

It would be nothing short of a miracle to have one answer that fits every question, this however does not exist. What does exist is the format for the answer.

Your interviewer already has your CV infront of them, so this is a great opportunity to provide a summary for yourself.

You will now practice this answer with your language instructor. This will be recorded for you and the audio will be sent to you via conference call software.

Listening to these audio's will provide you with a better understanding of your sound, you need to sound like you really want an opportunity, that you are eager and that you have the want and need to work for their company.

1. Can you tell me a little about yourself?

This a question that we seldomly prepare for but it's a common interview question that has stood the test of time.

We recommend that you provide 2 or 3 specific accomplishments this could be linked to your experience. The answer to this question is quite simple, it's a summary of you. Think about it as the back of a book. The information gives you just enough information for the reader to make a decision as to whether they want to find out more.
