An interviewer sometimes starts with an open-ended question like "Could you tell me something about yourself?" It is a way to break the ice and make you feel comfortable during the interview. It is also a way for the interviewer to know more about your personality to help him or her to decide if you are a good fit for the job.
    It is not a good idea to talk too much about yourself because the interviewer doesn’t want to know everything about you. But on the other hand, telling too little can make him or her wonder why you aren’t more open. So it’s a good idea to share some personal interests. These interests may not relate to your work.
