Help on some advise w/ this Interview question

[Pink_minx]

Ok im kind of preparing myself for an interview tomorrow at Hallmark, I cant seem to figure out what i want to say if the interviewer asks me.."Tell me about yourself" I dont know where to start if I should talk about what college im going to or what my past job experiences were? I dont have much job experience but babysitting and helping with my mom's little business on ebay fixing up furniture and selling them. Soooo how should I start? I seem to be so stuck on this.

my prof last semester had us get up in front of the class and respond to that question. it's not the easiest question to answer, but remember to keep it under two minutes. talk about where you were going to school and where you'll be going next, what you think you might like to major in, hobbies, etc. if there's something really unusual or interesting about you, mention it! i've moved a lot, so i always mention that and how it's made me open to new experiences. don't go TOO far into detail - i've heard some crazy things come out of people's mouths when answering that question!

^ yeah I know I just had my interview yesterday and before, people were telling me that I should show a weakness that is good. So I was like Uhh "my organization?" then I explained how it was a habit of mine that before I do anything I have to organize first you know, so there is a lil bit good and bad I dont know lol, and the lady was like "i see well I can help you with that, most of the girls say their weakness is going behind the cash register because they are shy." and im like huh I felt a lil embarrassed for some odd reason like I hoped she didnt think I was bragging lol. But it went ok I stumbled on a few things but answered them well. Just hope I get the call this weekend!
