"Tell me about yourself" -- It's one of the most common college interview questions, and it's often a question we're glad to get asked. After all, if there's one topic we know something about, it's ourselves.

That said, there are effective and ineffective ways to answer the question. If you simply list generic traits -- "I'm hard working," "I'm responsible," "I'm friendly" -- you really aren't saying much about what makes you different from hundreds of other applicants. Before entering the interview room, think carefully about what it is that truly makes you you. These interview tips can help you think about strategies for answering this popular question.
