How to Answer "Tell us About Yourself"

Wow! Great article and I will use this at my next interview!
Under no circumstances should you ask the interviewer "well, what do you want to know?" For interviews, if you don't have a longer version of your elevator pitch, GET ONE! This is your opportunity to highlight your accomplishments, motivations, and plans within the context that they benefit you, but mostly how they can benefit the employer. I have interviewed many people and if I can't discern what they will bring to the unit and how they can help us achieve our goals as a group and organization, they will not be hired.
Thank you for this! That question has always been one that makes me flounder.
Another puzzling question almost all employers ask is "tell me about your strengths and weaknesses". I have mine memorized.

Hi, i hav e a question. this is actually the first time I use the site si I don't really know how it works....Anyways Im America citenzen and I studied BSN in the Philippines. Now I'm back in Cali and I've been hearing that BON in CA requires for OB 5 actuals, 5 cord care and 5 newborn care and for medsurg they requiere 5 minor and 5 major procedures. The good thing is that i have all the cases complete but I'm still doubting if this is all they are asking for. Please please someone let me know before i submitt my application.

So what should a person say, when they don't volunteer, they haven't won any awards, their grades are okay. And have only had one job previously? Any suggestions, I am so bad at interviews and talking about myself in general.

i just said i was the average joe at my last interview and got the job. but i didn't really need the job that badly and nps are in short supply here so they had to take me anyway. I also said i was boring and like to read books.I need to start my own reality tv show, would probably help insomniacs out quite a bit.
Completing the CEUS for the CNA license at CEUFast.com was not too hard at all. There are about 89 of them and have almost completed all of them and printed out the certificates.They are cracking to see if people are doing them now.
