How to introduce yourself in a job interview

Have you ever wondered that why despite of having listed all the details about yourself in the resume, the interviewer still likes to start the session by asking you “Tell me something about yourself”
The reason for this is that people like listening to information been presented to them in the form of verbal expression in contrast to referring to a printed document.
Yes this simply means that they directly like to hear from the horses’s mouth that how would the candidates like to narrate the story of their life, in their own words.
