First Interview

"Tell me something about yourself"...

However smart a candidate is, the first interview of the life is usually difficult to crack. Our most well prepared responses go on a break when they are required. Words freeze and we land up blabbering.

It is sometimes difficult for a person to tak all good about himself and expect the other person to believe it, especially if the other person is an interviewer. I used to be nervouc by default if someone asked me that question. It is impossible to collect hundreds of "universally accepted" best human qualities in few sentences... that was challenging.

Not that I wanted to lie about myself, but maybe Iwanted to have those qualities in me from that point onwards. Maybe I succeeded... maybe I am yet learning.. maybe I will never reach there..
