Never, ever introduce yourself in an interview like this.

Never, ever introduce yourself in an interview like this. The interview starts with the most underrated question. Tell me about yourself. And most people answer the exact same way. My name is this. I studied at this college. I am from this city. I have this many years of experience. Thank you. That is not an introduction. That is a C.V. Being read out loud. The interviewer already has your C.V. He does not need you to narrate it back to him. This question is not a formality. It is the first test, and most people fail it before the interview has even started. Here is what a great answer to this question actually does. It tells a story. Not your life story. One specific story that explains who you are, what you're good at, and why you're sitting in that chair. It connects your past to this exact role in a way that makes the interviewer think this person knows exactly why he is here. Something like this. I've spent the last three years building sales teams from scratch in early stage startups. I have made every mistake possible, learnt what actually moves the numbers, and I am now at a point where I want to bring that experience to a company that is ready to scale. That is why I applied here. 60 seconds. No hometown, no college name unless it is relevant. Just clarity, confidence, and a reason you belong in that room. The first 30 Seconds of an interview set the tone for everything that followed.
