Appreciate you invitation ,

Mix of them

In my opinion , three things I have to inform the interviewer :

  • Basic information
  • My experience , focusing on what it related to this work
  • Why I am here and applying on this work

Between these level of talking I must answer any question given by interviewer .

"I seek to work for a successful company that has strong leadership and vision and who recognizes and rewards performers." 

4. Growth and Development

"I am someone who is consistently growing themselves and who takes the time to continue learning even though it's not a direct requirement of the job.  I find that many times it's a combination of what you study both directly and indirectly related to work."

5. Goal Oriented

"I am modest, but hard working and I consistently sets firm goals for myself.  Then, once I've defined the benchmarks, I take the necessary steps to achieve those milestones."

"Someone who has a consultative selling style and who is concerned with the clients' needs - consistently asking questions to uncover the what the client truly wants then being able to meet those requirements."  

7. Positive Self-Starter

"Someone who thinks positively and who can execute on difficult tasks. I'm not an individual who needs to be micro-managed. Rather, when given a specific task, I can figure out the best ways to solve the problem in an autonomous manner."

10. Results Oriented and Pragmatic

"I have a need to produce results. I am the type of person to meet challenges head-on rather than sweep them under the rug and hope they go away. While I'm an optimistic person, I am also realistic about the current situation and how satisfactory or unsatisfactory it is."

The idea is to get you to start speaking about yourself for approximately 1-2 minutes depending upon your experience. A good way to tests communication skills. You should include the following:-

  • Your work experience starting from the most recent one & going backwards to your first.
  • Ant special achievements, during your stint in the companies you worked in.
  • Your education record starting with the highest to include any special achievements, medals scholarship etc.
  • Any projects you have worked on related to the job profile.
  • Any achievements in extra curricular activities & sports. Any other interests, hobbies etc.
  • A word about your family.
  • Your strengths & areas of development.

You should talk about the most impressive thing you've ever done. Seriously.The way I see it, the interviewer is either

  1. trying to understand what role you would play (junior or senior? front-end or back-end?) so she knows what questions to ask, or
  2. just fishing for something impressive.

I'd recklessly assume it's (2). You could sprinkle in some lead-in to cover (1), like "I studied CS at $school, then did $y years at $company, but my favorite project recently was actually $super_impressive_thing." But you can also just go without--your interviewer will ask if she still has some questions about your background.This might be terrifying. It was for me at first. You will be able to find something impressive or at least something impressive-sounding, but it will take some thought. Grab a piece of paper or open a doc and start listing some possibilities. Ask your friends for help. Ask your parents (keeping track of your accomplishments is their job). Go for a long walk.Crucially, you might not find your impressive things to be all that impressive because you're just too familiar with the details ("well yeah I built an online message board when I was 14, but only my friends used it and it was kinda busted and I learned most of what I knew from my older brother"). Let yourself see your work from the outside. Remind yourself why you did it and let yourself feel proud of what you've done.Here're some possible answers to get you started:

  • Going to a great university. Being the first in your family to go to university.
  • A side project you built that solved a real problem (even if it only sorta worked and nobody really used it except you).
  • Something that pulls at the heartstrings (took a year off school to take care of a family member). This one's a little risky but can work. I'd keep it brief unless it's super-relevant to the job.
  • A promotion or praise or interesting project or interesting result from a past job.
  • A nontechnical, mostly-unrelated thing you've done that's awesome (threw a big public dance party with 200+ people, placed 1st in some competition thing, etc)

Once you have your impressive things, sprinkle them into the chitchat at the beginning and/or end of interviews. You have a lot of freedom to steer these "soft" questions towards the stuff you want to talk about--usually interviewers are just making an excuse to get you to talk about why you're impressive. Try to have at least one impressive thing that's directly relevant to engineering and at least one that's from the last couple years. Don't be worried about bragging. Definitely don't lead into one of your impressive things with "the most impressive thing I've done is...," (if you need a lead-in, say it's your "favorite" thing you've done or "the most fun" thing you've done recently). But let yourself be proud. You put the time in to do it, right? You must have thought it was worth it at the time. Remind yourself why. Let your excitement show through. Smile. You've done some great work!
