What should a job seeker say if asked: 'Tell us about yourself?'

Please share...

On many instances many job seekers find this scenario as the best golden opportunity to start reciting their CV from beginning to end. :shkd:
'My name is bla bla bla, I am 20 years old... I graduated from ... I this I that...'
but I don't think that's correct. Or what do you guys think?
