"Why don't you tell us something about yourself..." - a classic that comes up sooner or later in every job interview. The self-presentation often makes applicants sweat, because even if you think you know yourself well, it's not always easy to find the right words.
But with a little preparation, you can make a confident plea about yourself. To prepare, you can ask yourself the following questions:
1 Who am I?
Personal details
Name, age, place of residence, current professional situation, etc.
2. the main part: What can I do?
Briefly and concisely summarize the essentials: education, professional background, professional skills, practical experience, stays abroad, etc.
Since your interviewers already know your CV, focus on the highlights that match the advertised position
To do this, research in advance which stages of your CV you can use here to highlight your skills and achievements using specific examples
3. motivation: What do I want?
