In the States they have what's called 'behavioral interviews' that is trending nowadays where the interviewer will try to assess what personality traits you have to identify whether you are a match for the position.  So one popular question that will be asked is 'Tell me about yourself'.  I have always found that to be the most difficult question to answer because it is so broad and personal and I wasn't sure how to narrow it down and keep it professional.

I've learned over time however how to overcome this roadblock by preparing myself to answer the question in just 3 words that describe the person in me that I would like to portray to my potential employer.  This 3 word summary shows that I can be concise, creative, and compelling about the way I see myself and how I want others to see me as well.

What 3 words would you use to describe yourself?

This is a very interesting question.

When I applied for a call center agent post, I was asked this tough question: "If you can be someone else for one day, who will it be and why?"

 

I was surprised by such question. For how many seconds I was silent for I was searching for the right person to embody my thoughts or for who would represent me well. Then a person came across my mind, and it was then-president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. This was my answer:

 

"If I were to be someone else for one day it would be Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Why? Because as president I can do a lot of things for my country. I may be her for only one day, but that one day may mean a lot and may affect the lives for our fellowmen forever. But at least in one day, I will be able to make the lives of people better. That one day may change the lives of our people."
