  1. Tim, thanks for the tips. last time I was asked the question ”tell me about yourself” I didn’t realize what the interviewer meant to say and I got surprised why would he like to know about my personal life? I was like divided whether to talk about myself or let him discover the of person Iam. But now it is clearer that he wanted to know my plans whithin the company if I was hired.

    Thank you!
    Marcio
