Tell me about yourself: answer for B.Sc fresher

Science graduates are judged on lab habits as much as marks, so interviewers listen for the instruments you have handled and how careful you are with records. One hands-on training or project, described step by step, convinces them.

Sample from Ritika, a B.Sc Chemistry graduate from Vadodara, in a campus interview

About 1 min 10 sec 160 words

  1. Presentwho I am now

    Good morning, sir, my name is Ritika Shah, and I've completed my B.Sc in Chemistry from a college in Vadodara. I enjoy analytical work, especially titration and instrumental methods, and I'd like to start my career in quality control.

  2. Pastwhat I have done

    After my fifth semester, I did a forty-five-day training in the quality lab of a pharma plant near Vadodara. I ran pH checks and assays on raw material samples, more than a hundred in all, and wrote every reading in the log book the same day. The senior chemist told me that clean records matter as much as the result, and I've followed that rule ever since.

  3. Futurewhy this role

    I'm applying for the QC analyst post because I'd like to learn HPLC properly under a trained team. I'm ready to work in shifts and to follow every safety rule in the lab. I can join next month, and I'm happy to start in a general role before I move on to the instruments.

Short version

Three sentences, for when you're nervous.

I'm Ritika, a B.Sc Chemistry graduate from Vadodara. I completed a forty-five-day training in a pharma quality lab and ran over a hundred pH and assay checks. I'd like to begin as a QC analyst.

3 things to include

  • Your subject and the lab

    Say chemistry, physics or biotech in your first sentence, then the kind of lab where you worked.

  • Instruments and methods

    Name the pH meter, titration or UV spectrometer you used. These are the words a QC manager listens for.

  • Care with records

    A sentence about the log book shows you understand that documentation is half the job.

2 things to avoid

  • A list of every practical

    Twelve experiments in a row turns the answer into a lab manual. Choose the one that matches this job.

  • Leaving out shifts and location

    Plant jobs often mean shifts and a move. Saying you are ready is better than being asked.
