This question is very simple but most of the time was very hard to answer due to it's complications.

The interviewee should be able to answer this question straight to the point, stating his or her work experience (if applicable); his or her educational background and achievements at school;  what he or she is capable of doing for the company, and why he or she should be accepted to the job.

This is quite possibly the one question most likely to set a few nerves on edge.

 

It’s always a challenge to answer, yet it’s a question that will almost inevitably crop up in every interview you go to, so it makes sense to be prepared for it.

 

“Tell me about yourself” is often used right at the beginning of an interview. It can seem a little like a ‘lazy’ question to ask, but it’s actually a very useful question for employers. It gives them the opportunity to gain an understanding of how you view yourself and how you communicate.

 

 

Don’t dread it! Yes, it’s a question designed for the employer’s benefit, but it also gives you some power too, putting you in the driving seat and allowing you to influence how the interview will proceed from this point and the follow-up questions you’ll be asked.

You don't need to go into lengthy history,just tell them about where you grew up, your educational background, your special training, where you are now and where you intend going next, your skills and your accomplishments in or less than60 seconds.

Whatever I'm about to state herein are my personal thoughts, things I'd say in response to that interview question. So you can contradict, crticise, or agree with; all upto you.

 

I'd begin my answer with how long I've spent in the country/ city, give a brief of my educational qualifications, and speak of my work experience, highlighting areas of my expertise. 

Most people believe that a brief summary of the CV would suffice as a response to the question. But I think it is somewhat necessary to highlight personal traits as well. I don't mean to elaborate my personality, but a few things may be mentioned. Depending on the level of interest my interviewer is showing in me, I'd choose my words. I'd just make sure that I'm not boring the interviewer. Giving full stops is key to quick introduction, and inserting commas in your sentences will only make you look like you don't understand where you're at.
