[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually was on an interview panel today. Government not corporate. We are not allowed to ask questions like that. [/quote]

I am not allowed to ask questions like that either. But interviewing I noticed some firm the person doing interview will open up about themselves. For instance they are married, have kids, where they grew up, hobbies, what their spouse does for a living.

Then they throw in tell me about yourself. They did not ask. Now you are in situation you don't share which is weird, or you do share which can also be weird.

Tell me about yourself when asked first you are purely business.

But when inteview and women doing interview said I will say a little about me, I have two girls, I am a swim Mom, I grew up on Long Island, my husband worked at Lehman Brothers when it went under we ended up moving to DC he got a job at Freddie Mac, we moved here and I was a SAHM for 2-3 years as girls young now back at work. Moving here was great my girlsg o to BCC and we live Chevy Chase and are active in community.  We go to Rehoboth a lot in the Summer where we have a beach house and so on and so on.

Then you get well tell me about yourself? How do you answer?
