What do raters want to hear for the question "Tell us about yourself"?
I've heard two different takes. The first is that you want to sell yourself by emphasizing your backround similar to an oral resume but shorter and spend no time or very little time on your personnal life.
On the other hand I've also heard that you don't want to talk about your backround because the panel already has this information in front of their face with your resume and application. Do they really want to know where I live, if I'm married, if I have kids, what are my hobbies etc.?
Something is telling me to go with the first but to include a little bit about my personal life. What do you guys think? Also anyone willing to critique me on how I would answer this question?
