This is one of the most popular questions which is usually used by employers in order to open a job interview. You should know that you do not have to consider this question as an invitation to tell your life's history. What you need to understand is that this question actually means: " Please tell us a few things about your professional experience and point out some qualities that make you the right person for the job."
You should always know that the employers do not want to hear the story of your life and this is why you should not share too much information about yourself, your personal experiences or your family. There are people who come to interviews and tell the employer where they were born or where they went to school. What these people do not understand is that the interviewer only needs a summary which can last a minute or two, otherwise they can become boring! You can prepare this summary before going to an interview in order to point out the most relevant skills that you have. You should know that your future employer wants to know where have you worked before, which were your previous jobs and which were your main tasks. Employers usually ask this questions in order to see if your previous experience is useful for your new job.
Before going to the interview, you should read the job advertisement again and choose the key words that are mentioned and the skills that the employers are looking for: a certain experience or some human qualities that the perfect candidate should have. For example, if in the advertisement the employer says that he needs " a supervisor who has great communication and management skills", then you should prepare an answer in which you should mention the experience that you have as a supervisor, which were the skills that you needed in order to be able to do your job and the goals that you managed to achieve together with your team.
Try to speak about your strengths and your weaknesses in order to let the interviewer see that you know and accept yourself really well. This will be helpful because usually, people who know themselves are confident people and companies need them in order to achieve their goals. Try to speak about your past experiences in order to point out all the qualities and the skills and which are needed for the new job.
