Prompt
Help me answer "Tell me about yourself" for an interview.
My background (paste resume or a summary of my experience):
{{background}}
The role I'm interviewing for (posting, or title and company):
{{role}}
Please write a concise answer (about 60–90 seconds spoken) that:
- Follows a clear arc: who I am now / relevant past and key strengths / why I'm excited about THIS role.
- Highlights the two or three parts of my background most relevant to the job, with a concrete result where I have one.
- Sounds natural and confident in first person — something I'd actually say, not a resume read aloud.
Use only true details from what I gave you; don't invent experience or inflate results. End on why this role or company, using what I told you (or leave a [why this company] placeholder for me). If my background or the role is unclear, ask before writing.
