Tell Me Something About Yourself! | GDPI Preparation Tips

In most cases, the first question asked in the interview is ‘Tell us something about yourself?’. This is an important question, as the response to this question will set the tempo for the rest of the interview. This question can be asked in various ways such as ‘Introduce yourself’, ‘Define yourself’, and many more. Usual responses given to this question is “I am XYZ, I completed my schooling from ABC city and then completed graduation from LMN college. Now I am working in PQR company. My work is… And my hobbies are…” As an interviewer, who has already read your CV, this answer is futile as it doesn’t tell anything about you that he hasn’t already read in your CV. He doesn’t get to know anything about you as a person, your qualities, et cetera.

IIFT Exam Analysis - 2020-2022

Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) conducted its entrance exam for admission into its two-year program in International Business, on Sunday, December 01, 2019. With the IIFT 2020-22 paper going online for the first time, the exam, as expected, became easy. In fact, it was easier than the IIFT papers of the last two years. Overall, the VARC section was easy and the RCs were not as lengthy as it used to be in the paper-based format of the exam. In LRDI, there was a good contrast as the DI questions were easy while the LR sets were difficult. QA, as always, was a lengthy section and an attempt of 10-12 questions in this section would have been a good attempt.
