Hello Everybody,
Since I am a fresher, I am facing a lot of interviews these days. I faced one question, "TELL ME YOUR RESUME." I told him about my educational background, internship details, and career goals. However, the interviewer was not at all satisfied with my answer. He interrupted me 2-3 times and asked, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT A RESUME AND PROFILE ARE?" Can anybody please tell me what a fresher should answer in such situations.
Regards,
Dipti D.

Hi Dipti,
It happens a lot of times, but you need to keep your patience. Maybe the interviewer is trying your patience. Generally, the interviewer tries to understand how you communicate and how much knowledge you have regarding the work you have done so far, etc. Do not take it to heart if any interviewer is somewhat rude.

Hi Harshad,
I am still unsure about what to answer. As a fresher, what work details should I mention in an interview? What would you suggest I say?
I was disturbed by this experience, but I am taking it as a new learning opportunity.
Thanks,

Hi,
In such a case, you can let them know that your resume provides a comprehensive overview of yourself, your job profile, educational qualifications, skills, expertise, hobbies, total years of experience in the given organization, and highlights the positive aspects of your work and yourself. Just be calm, confident, and answer whatever you have mentioned in your resume. Hope this helps you.

Hi Dipti,
What work have you done in your internship? You need to share that. Basically, describe the work you have done so far and what you can do if given the opportunity. You will encounter different types of interviewers, so you need to be ready for any questions. As you attend the interviews, you will know the answers to give.

Hi Dipti,
Just let me know what kind of job you are looking for and what your qualifications are. For example, if you have an MBA in HR, you can title your resume as "HR Executive" and describe yourself as a fresher in your CV with all the qualifications and other complete details. Being a fresher, you can't mention the job profile as we all know. So just provide me with the details, and then perhaps I can give you a sample CV for it.

Hi Deepti,
Don't be afraid. If any interviewer asks you "Tell me about your resume," he is giving you an open opportunity to fully describe your package. Tell them about yourself, your qualities, and aspirations that led you to choose a career in HR. Provide examples of your skills to support your answer.
Keep your words brief, informative, and realistic. In today's job market where there are fewer opportunities compared to the number of applicants, it's important to highlight the exceptional qualities that set you apart from others and are most relevant to the job. This may require some self-reflection and research.
Avoid regurgitating the information already present in your resume. When discussing your resume, focus on your professional attributes and personal qualities that contribute to your professional growth rather than just listing your basic biodata. Many people make the mistake of simply repeating what's on their resume.
These are my views, and I encourage you to consider the valuable advice of other members as well. Remember, this is your chance to take control of the situation.
All the best!

Dear Dipti,
First, I will advise you to increase your confidence level in yourself. Remember your final year in graduation and professional course, when you or any final year student used to walk across the juniors and interact with teachers. Now, why do you feel like a fresher when you have undergone a professional course? It is very normal to practice before you go to face any interview. Since you are a fresher, you have to explain your qualifications and academic achievements, if any, along with your family background or reasons for selecting a specific branch if asked. Please speak in a basic but intelligent and confident manner.
Reply with confidence. All the best
