So, how to introduce yourself in the interview?
Whether you are a fresh graduate or an experienced professional, you should introduce yourself in the interview from the following five aspects:
1, basic information
Basic information includes name, hometown, school of graduation, major studied, political outlook, marital status, personal skills, hobbies and so on. But all this information should not be introduced in the interview. You should choose related projects according to the type of enterprise and the position you are applying for.
For example, if you are interviewing in a state-owned enterprise, it is very important to emphasize the political outlook. For another example, you are interviewing a salesperson in the northwest, and your hometown happens to be in the northwest, so it is timely to emphasize your hometown, because you know the local situation very well, which will help you to carry out your work.
2. Work/practical experience
Work or practical experience is the content that most interviewers are very concerned about, because through the investigation of work experience, interviewers can judge the matching degree between job seekers and recruitment positions. Simply put, the interviewer will judge whether the job seeker is suitable for this position through his work and practical experience.
So in the whole self-introduction, you can spend more time introducing your own experience. However, it should be noted that the introduction of experience is not a running account, but should be light and heavy. For those experiences that have not achieved much, we can downplay them, while for those that have achieved outstanding results, we should be able to describe them in detail. Only in this way can you leave a good impression on the interviewer and ask corresponding questions about your past experience.
3. Personal strengths and advantages
In the case of similar abilities and experiences, interviewers often screen according to their personal strengths and advantages. Therefore, in introducing yourself, you must set aside appropriate time to introduce your strengths and advantages, which is the key to opening the gap between others and you.
When introducing personal strengths and advantages, we should not only clearly explain what our strengths and advantages are, but also cite specific examples to prove that our strengths and advantages are true. For example, if your specialty is public expression, you can tell the interviewer that you gave a speech at a trade fair with thousands of people and got a good response.
4. Reasons for application.
Job hunting intention is a matter that many interviewers are very concerned about, because if your intention is not clear and you just take your chances with your resume, then your attitude towards work may be lazy in the future. In other words, only if you have a strong will for this job can you do it well. Therefore, explaining the reasons for applying in your self-introduction can express your wishes and then let the interviewer feel your enthusiasm and sincerity.
When talking about the reasons for application, you don't need to talk too much, just list three or five main points, but don't exaggerate or say some empty reasons.
5. Expectations and prospects for work
The purpose of the interview is to find suitable talents for the enterprise through the interview and help the enterprise achieve better development. Therefore, when introducing yourself in an interview, you should not only express "I can do it" through the introduction of basic information, work experience, personal strengths and advantages, but also express the will and determination of "I can do it" to the interviewer, which is a very important way to explain your expectations and prospects for work.
For example, you can explain how you will work and what goals you will set if you succeed, which will make the interviewer feel that you have entered the role ahead of time, and it will be a pity if you don't get this offer.
The above five aspects are what you need to introduce in the interview, but in addition, you need to pay attention to the following three minefields:
1. Turn self-introduction into reading resumes.
Most of the contents of self-introduction are resumes, so many people change self-introduction to reading resumes. If you understand self-introduction as reading a resume, then self-introduction is an unnecessary question, because the interviewer can read the resume himself. For the interviewer, the purpose of self-introduction is twofold: one is to understand the basic situation of job seekers, and the other is to measure the logical thinking and expressive ability of job seekers through introduction. So, don't take introducing yourself as reading your resume. Adjust the content of self-introduction according to the position you are applying for and present it in an appropriate way.
2, 3 minutes and 30 seconds to introduce yourself.
Many people think that self-introduction in an interview is unnecessary, because it is clearly written on the resume, so a three-minute self-introduction often ends in 30 seconds. In fact, compared with the written expression of resume, the information carrying capacity and persuasiveness of language expression are greater. Only by seizing the opportunity of self-introduction can we present ourselves better. Therefore, before the interview, you should spend some time preparing and practicing well in advance, and it is best to control your self-introduction in 2-3 minutes.
3. The expression is exaggerated and even full of lies.
In order to get a job opportunity, many people will "inject water" into their resumes and "brag" in interviews. In fact, for an experienced interviewer, your lies are easy to see through. Therefore, when introducing yourself, don't exaggerate, don't lie again, be realistic and true, so as to win the trust of the interviewer.
