The first rule for answering for the "Tell me about yourself" question is to discuss what interests the interviewer. That means focusing on the experience and skills you have that can add value to the company.
When you prepare your answer. Keep it concise and direct. Consider the most important requirements for the position you are competing.
Example:

Providing evidence of your skills by detailing your accomplishments will separate you from the other candidates. A clear and concise summary of what you can do for the company is what the interviewer wants to hear.
Giving proof of your capacity for the position quickly will convince the interviewer that you are a serious candidate for the job.
Example:
"I have been successful at each of my previous places of employment. Given my research about your company, the job description outlined, and the information we've exchanged today, l believe I have the skills and experience to fulfill what you're looking for and I'm look forward to contribute as an employee.”
Study the job and decide which of your competencies are relevant. Keep your answer focused on those qualities that are pertinent to the job.
When you are a starting your career or your first job it is important to focus on your qualifications and any work experience you have. Your answer should include what you hope to achieve with your first job.
Remember that you don't have to provide a long description of your qualifications. Interviewers will choose what they want to learn more and will ask you.

I have studied hard to become well qualified. I completed a challenging internship in this area and I’m look forward to implement what I have learned in a practical manner.
