Happy New and Productive Week Everyone.

Let's start the week with one of the mostly asked interview question which is "Tell me about yourself". In this question you're expected to tell yourself in 2-3 minutes for most cases. First it feels like a lot of minutes if you're not organized and try to answer it on spot because you can't remember everything at a time. But if you're also remember your achievements, I'm sure you'll find a lot to talk about which makes you think 2-3 minutes are unfair. So here is my suggestion be well prepared ahead and talk only about your achievements that would impact the position you're applying for. The recommended mechanism is to tell about your present like who you're currently, where are you working/studying, and what you're working on if possible, then talk about your past which could be your experience/background and anything that can support your application and finally about your future and position, this one as who you'd like to be and indirectly hint how this position affects your future and you're a perfect match for it.

I'll be working using C++ for the coming 3-weeks now. Anyone with good resources Please let me know in the comments 🙏

- My friends "How can you forget this?"
- Meanwhile me going to kitchen to do stg, forgets it then be back just closing the kitchen door then think back again why I went to the kitchen for another five minutes just to repeat the cycle 😭

Let’s talk about the “Why us?” question.

It’s kind of like when a girl randomly asks you, “Why me?”
And you already know the wrong answers:
“Because you’re beautiful.”
“Because you’re smart.”

Sure, those things might be true but how many guys do you think say the exact same thing? 🙄
Generic answers don’t make anyone feel chosen.

What actually stands out is attention to detail. Remembering the small things. Showing that you see her, not just the idea of her.

The same logic applies to companies.

A lot of candidates say:

> “Because your mission and values align with me.”

And honestly? Recruiters hear that all day long.

What makes your answer different is being specific.

Do real research on the company. Look into their programs, culture, values, and initiatives. Then connect those to your own experiences and stories.

For example, in one of my interviews, I knew the company had a strong mentorship program. I also had prior experience both being mentored and mentoring others. So instead of giving a vague answer, I said I was excited about their mentorship culture because I had firsthand experience with it, explained what I learned from it, and how it shaped the way I work today.

You’re not just saying you align with them, you’re proving it with your story.

So when you answer “Why us?”, don’t be generic.
> Be intentional.
> Be specific.
> Show that you paid attention.

Because just like in real life, feeling chosen matters.

> People: "it's difficult to be happy in life"
> Meanwhile me the happiness I get whenever I see someone shorter than me or at least as short as me 😂😂😂.

Merry Christmas u'll. May all our fears, failures and frustrations be taken by the newly born king and He's gifts shine up on us 🙌🙌🙌.

I never knew there is/was a nerd/geek laugh until I heard one and couldn't get it out of my mind now 😭😂.

Today I'm going to work wearing this cloth which was a gift by my lovely team 😍😍😍.

Holiday food 😁😁😁. Nice and Cosy 😍😍😍.

We'll talk about "why are you leaving your current company?" question later on 😊.

This question seems straight forward but it is not. This question is not for you to rant about your current company or your current role but more like to praise that company. This is also not a question for you to raise your financial issues as a reason. Here is why whatever negative things your saying about your current role or company or if the issue is financial they'll expect you to treat them the same way and no one wants that. You'll negotiate salary during your hr interviews and can ask them about that but not on this question. Here are some of the good responses I've heard, I've out grown the company and role, I need bigger and complex challenges. The company is good but I know the ins and outs of things. Something like that. And also praise the company you're joining like when I join your company I'll be exposed to complex problems or I'll be working with some of the smartest people on earth and I don't want to miss that chance bla bla. But your praise should be specific not generic.

My disobedient version wishes if I've done this back then 😂😂😂
👇👇👇

> People my love language is affection, motivation, money, quality time bla bla and there is me

> If I send you reel and you also send me back we're good 😂

Suggestion: Learn Product Management even if you're not going to work on it.

Any idea why though 😁
