Tell Me About Yourself: Storytelling that Propels Careers focuses on a powerful use of storytelling -- telling
stories to advance your career, whether by moving up in your current organization or landing a job in a new organization.
The title comes from the most commonly asked question (which isn't even a question but a request) in job interviews,
"Tell me about yourself." Composing stories to reveal your personal and professional self in response to that "question"
is just one way to use storytelling to propel your career. This book reveals many others.
