You can always tell them something interesting or amusing about yourself. Humour never fails anywhere. If you can make someone smile, even if its a professional interviewer that means you have left a good impression on them.However if you are one of those people who gets really jittery in a job interview, maybe you should leave the humour out. In that case, you should tell them about certain specific achievements that you have accomplished on a job. Something that will leave a good impression.
Other things that you can talk about can be:
Your hobbies and interests
Your volunteer activities, (if you have volunteered for something)
If you were active in sports you can tell them about your achievement in sports or anything extra curricular.
You can always tell them something interesting or amusing about yourself.
The recruiting process for any job these days is not just about the educational qualifications or experience of a particular candidate. It involves a personality assessment to ascertain if the candidate in question is stable and how comprehensive his over all development is. This is apart from qualification and subject matter expertise a person is also expected to contribute towards the growth of a company via its employees and the ambience and most importantly is expected to be a team player.
Coming back to your question, what they are really looking at is information that says something about your personality. Like your hobbies, interests, goals, what motivates you, and why? As a person how involved are you with what's going on around you and if you have any views about it. More importantly how honest you are about your preferences and views.
You could tell them specific incidents that may have been instrumental in getting you where you are or where you want to reach.
Treat the write up about yourself as a mini biography; crisp, specific and simple and a window into who you are.
If you need any more ideas, let me know and I will add to the list :)
