Title: "Tell me about yourself"
Post by: EmCeeGrammar on February 23, 2010, 11:45:03 AM: I feel distinguished mentally-challenged that I can't seem to formulate a response to this. Often the first thing to come up in an interview. What sounds good here? I probably need to come up with some spiel and just rehearse it.

They're basically asking you to bullshit a few minutes of interview time (mostly involving stuff about your work history of course) so that they have something to remember who the fuck you are. Don't worry about accidentally answering something wrong on that quiz they give you, they most likely don't read it.

Seriously this. If you've only ever had that restaurant job, just bullshit them and talk about stuff you have (or supposedly have) learned during that job.
