When an interviewer asks us"tell me something about yourself" what kind of answer is he looking for?
They want to know about you.
"Well, my name is ____. I love to travel and have visited 40 of the 50 states in the country, I lived in Germany for three years and loved that experience. I have traveled from England to the Czech Republic! I have also spent time in Korea and am anxious to return there. I love animals and have two toy fox terriers. Also, I have a hobby that has developed into a part time business opportunity, which is very fulfilling. I also serve as a board member as part of the _______ _________ _____ Guild and currently I volunteer some of my time with helping international medical school graduates learn how to apply to US residency programs."

well, thanks for the tip. Actually I had thought the answer was to be in terms of my 'virtues' as a medico..eg. I am efficient and organised and a team worker etc. etc.(that sounds more like an essay though!).
Can you suggest something for "what are your weaknesses"?
Thanks again.

"My math skills! Thank goodness for calculators! If they had been inexpensive when I was in school, I think that I may have had a different road in life if I hadn't been dreading my math courses.
Other than that, my organizational skills need to transition from my work environment to my home environment. Housework truly is a four letter word."
MKB - you are learning a little more than you wanted to know about me today.
