Tell me about yourself ?The Interviewer is looking for a concise, descriptive and informative summary of a more current and relevant career information.

Go through their web site and write down several questions that come to mind. Do a Google search on the company. Know the reason(s) why you’d like to work at the company. People definitely take notice when you have direct knowledge of their company and/or
