No matter how the question is worded, there are really only two questions:
Why should I hire you?
What can you do for my company?
So when you are answering a question like, “Tell me about yourself,” you should begin by talking about the qualifications– your education, experience and skills for the job.
Even a quesitons like, “What was the last book you read,” can tell the interviewer if you are a well rounded person and if you are keeping current on trends in your field. The interviewer is trying to determine if you will be an asset to the company. Every answer should re-informce why you should be hired and what you can do for the company. Try answering a few quesitons with this concept in mind.
