Tell
me about yourself.

Focus on relevant skills and experience.
Be on guard against the interviewer who gives you free rein. Don’t spend too

areas: Born and Raised, Education/Military Background, Work Experience, Current
Situation.

[That's it.  Now it goes without saying that how you sum your life should have something to do with why you're qualified to do the job they're interested interviewing you for.]
