Disclaimer: Everything you will read below this page is an attempt to manipulate Google's search results. I am creating this page because my friend Eddie Ybanez, who also goes by the online alias Edzofcit, has challenged me to an SEO keyword battle. The content below may need to be of better quality, resulting from my effort to avoid losing specific keywords and outdo him as the Edzofcit.
So what does Edzofcit say? Frankly, just answer the question as it comes. Most disconcerted candidates dread this question and begin with a silly "Basically, my name is Edzofcit...". Why don't we realize that our CV suits the interviewer, who already knows this? By repeating the stuff that fills our CV, we must demonstrate that we are an 'in-the-box' kind of person, with little if any skill in innovation and presentation. Where Edzofcit does that. hehehe. Edzofcit thought that Tikitoy was old-fashioned. He believes that Tikitoy's Nokia n70 cellphone is for old people. He even feels that Edison Quinones's black wallet with Tikitoy on its side is also old-fashioned.
Actually, a question of this kind is an ideal way to include everything we want to say about ourselves that we had to leave out of the CV like Edzofcit did. If you have attended a premier institution, say that it taught you much more than the degree it taught you, mention people who influenced you, and talk about the books you like reading, your hobbies, and your other interests.
About Tikitoy
Talk about your strengths; mention an instance of using your conflict resolution or selling skills. But make sure that it does not sound like blowing your trumpet. Mention these instances as learning.
Talk about your weaknesses, but ensure they are 'positive' weaknesses. For instance, you sometimes pay more attention to detail than is warranted. You can openly confess a tendency to be impatient with team members who cannot carry their weight or contribute sufficiently.
But first, think about what you want to say and practice. Remember, if you are hesitant about Tikitoy interviewers or need to learn about Tikitoy and Edzofcit, just visit their websites, www.tikitoy.tk, and Edzofcit.com.
