Self-introduction is so important, but I find that many job-hunting partners don't pay enough attention to it, and even think that the interviewer won't listen to your self-introduction. Self-introduction just gives the interviewer time to read the resume. In fact, most interviewers will pay attention to your self-introduction and even take notes. Even if you don't listen carefully, you will leave some impressions, which is equally important. Then the author of this article will share with you how to write an excellent self-introduction.
Frequently asked questions in self-introduction: 1.
Daily account number is the most common problem in job seekers' self-introduction, and it is also a reflection of insufficient attention and intention to self-introduction. Simply reading the resume will make the interviewer feel boring, which may not be the reason why the interviewer refuses you, but it is difficult for you to leave a good impression on him or arouse his interest at the beginning of the interview.
2. The content is scattered and there is no main line.
List-based self-introduction is also a common problem for interviewers. Their self-introduction is often just to sort out their own experiences in various aspects: academically, I am xxx；; Actually, I have xxx；; In addition, I also participated in xxx activities and achieved results in xxx competition. ...
No matter how rich your self-introduction is, it is difficult to arouse the interviewer's interest without the logical main line, and even cause some bad impressions, such as thinking that your speech is illogical and so on. A good self-introduction should have a main line and a logical chain, and it should be told like a story.
Dig a hole for yourself
Many interviewers brag about themselves when introducing themselves, which successfully arouses their interest, but they can't stand the questioning behind their backs, causing them a sense of disappointment, which is the deadliest thing in the interview and can directly lead you to lose this offer.
How to write an excellent self-introduction
Step 1: Self-excavation
First of all, list all your relevant experiences, including study, internship, student activities, hobbies, personality characteristics, etc. And don't limit yourself to the contents of your resume (I once encountered a self-introduction question: tell me something that is not on your resume). Then think about which of these experiences are the highlights you want to show in the interview, and which of your experiences or characteristics are suitable for the position you are applying for, which may interest the interviewer. Write down all these experiences as raw materials for self-introduction.
Step 2: Self-reflection
Think about why I like this profession, and what personality or experience makes me love this industry. This step is ignored by many job seekers, but it is very important. Many excellent students often have such confusion after repeated setbacks in interviews. Why do I feel that I am obviously better than others, but I am always eliminated at the last minute? Such students often lack reflection on their job-hunting motives and have not thought clearly about why they love this profession and why they are suitable for this job. When the interviewer selects job seekers, on the one hand, he looks at the ability and talent of job seekers, on the other hand, he looks at your desire and enthusiasm for work. When the interviewer faces a large number of excellent job seekers, the latter is especially important. If you can convince the interviewer with your experience and convince them of your enthusiasm for this job, then your interview will be more than half successful. But it is not easy to convince others on this issue, so before that, convince yourself first.
Think carefully about where your initial interest in this job or this field came from, whether it was competitions, lectures, courses, family environment, personality factors and so on. This will be the beginning of your story.
Step 3: Write an introduction for each experience.
After thinking about the beginning of the story, we will write a brief introduction to each relevant experience without losing the key point. This part can include: study, internship, competition, activities, experience exchange, honor and so on. Many students always want to cover everything, hoping to show their experiences when introducing themselves. In fact, it is not necessary. Just choose the most representative and attractive experiences in different aspects to write. Every experience is less than two sentences and more than three or four sentences. Just show the process, results and gains of the experience, without being too detailed.
Step 4: Connect the experiences into a complete story.
When all the raw materials are ready, we will connect them in series and become a story. This story tells how you became interested in your application field, what efforts you made, what gains you gained, how to improve yourself step by step, and how to be more and more sure that you love and are suitable for this profession. Finally, you decided to apply here and start your career.
For the way of serialization, I suggest that you connect your experiences according to the time line after introducing your basic information (name, school, major, etc.). ), and in the narrative process to express their progress and progress bit by bit.
Step 5: Dig a hole for the interviewer to pave the way for the interview.
In fact, this part is not only the preparation of self-introduction, but also runs through the whole interview preparation process. Let's emphasize it separately. Good self-introduction can guide the direction of the interview and pave the way for the interviewer to ask questions later. When preparing for the interview, you should be clear about some highlights of your experience, emphasize it when introducing yourself, and guide the interviewer to ask you questions later. On the other hand, you should be fully prepared for these highlights. Don't say anything about an unprepared but eye-catching experience, let alone exaggerate it. Once asked, it will be embarrassing.
For example, a position in stock trading or research department will be an attractive point if you have experience in speculating in foreign exchange stocks or have achieved excellent results in investment management competitions. The interviewer in the research department will ask you which stocks you bought and what the investment logic is. Traders may ask you what trading strategy you used. If you can give a complete answer, it will be a great bonus. On the other hand, if you ask three questions, answer irrelevant questions and be vague, the official will be disappointed.
Recommend self-introduction structure
1. Basic information, skipping.
2. At the beginning of the story, the origin of your passion for the field of xx can be discussed from many aspects such as personality, background and experience.
For example, I think I'm from xxx (introduce my personality characteristics, pay attention to the job, and show that my personality makes you interested in this industry). I took part in xx courses/competitions/activities when I was in Big X (introducing your original interest source), which made me interested in xx.
3. In the middle of the experience, pay attention to a certain progressive relationship according to the timeline.

This internship experience gave me a deeper understanding and understanding of xx, and also strengthened my determination to engage in xx business. In order to further improve myself, I made efforts in xx (tell me about your relevant experience and achievements according to time, etc. The above experience made me more sure of my love for the field of xx, so I decided to take xx as the starting point of my future career.
Finally, you can talk about your admiration for the company you are applying for, and your desire and confidence in this position.
All in all, I hope that friends who are applying for a job or will apply for a job can pay enough attention to their self-introduction, make a good start for their interview with an excellent self-introduction and successfully win their ideal offer!
