小時候爸爸媽媽會碎碎念，不要被賣掉了還幫別人數鈔票，不過對求職者來說，每一次的面試其實就是努力的推銷自己，希望趕快把自己賣出去阿，英文裡面的『Selling yourself』雖然白話了點，不過真的很貼切阿！

面試前大家都會準備很多作品，整理過去學經歷，努力回想自己之前到底做了些什麼，可以拿來在面試中說嘴。但是最最重要的，請不要忘記，不論你應徵的是什麼職位，在這幾個小時中，要把自己當成Sales，今天你就是來推銷自己的。

不過這可不是一次買斷，銀貨兩迄的交易喔，再怎麼過度包裝，開始工作之後還是馬上會顯露出真相的，如何拿捏當中的分寸，也是應試前的一樣重要課題！

找工作的大家一起加油吧！記得常上英文面試王吸收英文知識喔！ ^^

The "Tell me about yourself" question

This does not include personal information such as marital status, children, etc. This does include information such as: hometown or state and/or personal attribute(s). The education should be either the latest obtained and/or major field if relevant to job objective.

2. Early Career/Life Experiences
