How not to answer the interview question "Tell me a bit about yourself"... 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 "Well, it all started in 1994 in New Mexico, where I was the 3rd child in a family of 5....I was always interested in science, and even though I loved bike riding and baseball, I decided one day to enroll in a science fair....(35 minutes later), and that's how I got here today." Some people might find that story interesting, but I can promise you that this is not what the hiring manager was asking for. It won't help you get the job.
