career move

I'm planning to finally apply for a job in a call center by tomorrow. I've been searching the net as to what maybe the best answer to this very common point of issue during job interviews - " tell me about yourself"... uurrgghh!! It seems to be an easy question given to you but I don't know why I hardly answer this thing.

Okay.. when you answer this interview question, you can't tell your interviewer about you and your thing since the time of your birth. Yes, you have to tell about yourself in a way giving him/her the idea why you're the best candidate for this position such as your skills, experiences, and your background. Just tell those things that makes you the best, ok? Now I realized that being honest all the time is not also good, and appreciate the so-called words "white lies" hahaha! Of course you cant tell them what your real weaknesses are! Just like when one of my weaknesses is hardly getting up in bed early in the morning... what do you think would they judge you if your having that kind of habit?? of course they can't get you in because you have all the tendencies of going to work late, right?

Hhhmm.. these are just few things that are so common in applying for a normal company... ooppss! I mean - company like offering services, buying & selling goods and whatever... 'coz what I have in my mind right now, a call center company is quite different from the usual companies I've worked with...like I still need to get familiar with stuff like BPO, offshore and nearshore outsourcing etc. etc.
Uuurrggghh!!! I think I don't have confidence for tomorrow's activity
