Are you answering this correctly?
This a very short but tricky question that can help you succeed in your job interview when answered in the right way.
I have noticed how people get confused since it is very general, however, you have to stick to the conversation topic "Job Interview".
Answers like your age, marital status, the city where you were born, or even talking about your kids or pets are not answers relevant to any technical role in this particular question, in other words, the real question is "tell me about yourself as a CTO, Software developer/Engineer, designer, Project Manager, etc."
A simple question like how the weather can help you with your nervousness, will not have you oversharing and it will not take time from your interview.
I made a quick video about what to answer: https://lnkd.in/gd3yHczc
