He doesn't literally mean tell me about yourself. He means "why are you a good candidate for this job"

then you list of any skills related to the job you have

if this is a shitty retail or cashier job just be like I'm a hard worker that gets things done or some bullshit

DO NOT say something irrelevant like you like playing video games unless you think they do also and then you can suck his dick to get your job

Virgin and you are 25? Hahaha, nice joke. You are hired.

The term "yourself" is used when addressing another individual to speak about that same person, or to emphasize them. It has four vowels, and four consonants.

I graduated with GPA of 4.0, I was the chairman of 2 societies in my time in college, I love swimming, reading and hiking. Last year I went on a week long hiking trip in the wild with myself and my closest friend. While on the hike my friend and I had to work side by side, relying on each other heavily. I also play numerous musical instruments, my favourite being the drums as I love playing jazz or blues.

>i have no hobbies, no interests, I get neither joy nor pleasure from anything. I stopped being sexually attracted to anyone at least a decade ago, I spend all my time in my head fantasizing about my idealized self, which I can never be. I have no confidence, my self esteem is in the negative, and I'm terrible at math. I am clumsy, have a poor memory, I am physically weak and fragile, my feet start hurting like crazy if I stand for more than 30 minutes. My best strength is sleeping

Use jargon or mess with words:

"As person, I'm a rather unique person with some funny hobbies, I like to browse social media, post along my fellow community and having joy with them by the way of memes.
As worker, I'm serious at what I'm doing and I'm focused, and ready to receive feedback and to improve to suit better my work"

I can't even function around people now, how the fuck am I supposed to do it in a professional environment? And what do I even say in the interview? I have no redeeming qualities and I can't talk to anyone without stuttering.

How do normalfags do this shit? Why can't I be normal?

If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

Find a cleaning job.

On of my better job was collecting & cleaning and distributing plastic trays at a shopping mall's food court. We also cleaned the tables and chairs and floor. No angry middle-aged women asking to see our manager because she wants to use an expired coupon.


I never even met the guy who hired me until weeks later when he came by the place since it was a phone interview.

Seriously, just make up shit.

Tell them you love traveling around the world, you are part of two sports and have been a life long member of an art club. Just make up the most stupid shit you can, that is what all normies do all the time to get jobs or get laid. They just want to check if you are not a sperg.

>tfw any questions you do get are "wow! how did you make that?" rather than "Tell me about your normieness?"

Don't get an arts degree they said
It'll be useless they said

This is why you don't listen to reddit anons.
