Why "Tell me about yourself" is sabotaging your interviews

Hey reader,

When was the last time you walked out of an interview feeling 100% confident about how you answered "Tell me about yourself"?

If you're like most of the women I work with, the answer is probably... never.

You might have finished your "Tell me about yourself" answer in interviews and think "Am I talking too much? Too little? Do I sound impressive or desperate?" 🙃

This happens when you're rambling and forget the point you were trying to make, or if you're reciting your CV to show the interviewers 'everything you can do'. Either way, you're underselling yourself!

Miss this moment in interviews, and you could already be on the 'reject' pile.

You only get 1 chance to make a KILLER first impression. The Recruiter and Hiring Manager know within the first 5 minutes of the interview whether they want to move you forward in the process, or not.

While other candidates are boring them with their job history, you can be the one who makes them lean in and think, "this is EXACTLY who we need on our team".

I've helped 50+ women transform this feared question into their secret weapon, and now I'm sharing exactly how in my brand new FREE training.

In just 16 minutes, you'll discover:

✨My WIN method transforms your response from generic to unforgettable!

✨How to show your biggest wins without sounding like you're bragging.

✨What hiring managers REALLY want to hear (hint: it's not your job history).

✨My proven template that positions you as the obvious choice in the first 5 minutes of the interview.

After watching this, you'll never second-guess your answer again. You'll walk in knowing exactly how to hook them, hold their attention, and make them excited to learn more about you.

No more rambling. No more panic. But the confidence of knowing you've got this!

You'll have a clear, impactful story that positions you as the obvious choice.

This is for you if you're ready to turn your toughest interview question into your biggest advantage!

Cheering you on,

Jennifer

P.S. I've watched too many amazing women lose out on dream roles because they couldn't show their own value and impact. This training fixes that!
