First, make a draft of self-introduction.
Bian Xiao is also in charge of the interview, interviewing many talents in different positions. What impressed me most was that I had seen this scene several times. I said to the interviewer, "Please introduce yourself." The other side's reaction can be described as varied, and some wait for a while stood there silently, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words; Some people can't squeeze out a complete sentence by grasping the fingers of the wool version, hesitating where he is from, where he comes from, what family he has and so on. However, there are also some very clear purposes. One of the job seekers who interviewed the hardware engineer and project manager left a deep impression on me. He said, "My name is Xu Mao. I worked for two years and led the team to complete two projects. I was awarded the title of excellent manager by the company. I have carefully read the requirements of your project manager, and I feel that it basically meets the requirements. Of course, you can come to see me, thank you! " In just a few words, in less than 30 seconds, I was impressed with him. (This abstract is from /Guide/show.aspx? i=3822 16)
Usually we go to the company for an interview after receiving an interview notice. At this time, you can write a draft of your introduction at home, and then try to tell it several times, feel it and come prepared, so that you won't be flustered and speechless.
The most terrible thing at the beginning of an interview is nervousness. However, in the face of unfamiliar environment and strangers, tension is inevitable. Here I'll teach you a little trick. The more nervous I am, the more I deliberately use contradictions to tell myself, "Come on, blush, be nervous!" When you prepare for the worst, you will be calmer and less nervous.
In addition, the nervousness and fear of interviews also prove that the number of interviews is not enough. When you interview again and again, you won't be afraid anymore. So, go out bravely, even if you don't like the enterprise, you can practice it. Of course, you can also rehearse at home. The more times you rehearse, the more familiar you are with the interview scene, and the less likely you are to feel strange and nervous. In addition, a small skill worth reminding everyone here is that we can write down corresponding skills for every requirement of job hunting, prepare a few short stories, write them on paper, find family members as listeners, watch expressions and practice. This is called "rehearsal". Never recite, the interviewer can see it at a glance by observing the tone, eyes and expression. As long as the key words are mastered, the improvisation of other contents will give people a very real feeling.
Second, make a short opening remarks, and don't be a one-man show.
When Bian Xiao interviewed candidates, he also saw that job seekers talked a lot. I didn't say anything. As soon as I sat down, he talked like a machine gun, telling in detail where he went from birth to primary school, middle school, high school and university, what prize he won and what title he won, and even what happened every year. I didn't come to my senses until he finished speaking. Five minutes passed and I didn't get in a word.
In addition, there is a well-prepared interviewer. Before the interviewer was ready, he couldn't wait to recite his draft self-introduction. I want to tell you here that no matter how fluently you recite, no matter how wonderful the content you recite, the interviewer will be disgusted.
When you meet the interviewer, you haven't officially started the interview. You should make a short opening speech politely and smile at all interviewers (if there are multiple interviewers). If the interviewer is paying attention to other things, you can wait for a while before starting.
Third, control the time of your introduction.
Some job seekers introduce themselves very simply. You asked him to introduce himself, and he just said, for example, my name is Liu. You thought he had just started, but it took him a long time to find out that he had finished. And some people can't go on once they start talking. It is really enough to show you the power of quoting others.
Sometimes the interviewer will set a time for self-introduction, so it is necessary to grasp this time scale, neither too long nor too short. If the interviewer doesn't specify a time, then the self-introduction must be concise and save time as much as possible, usually about half a minute is better, and if there are no special circumstances, it is best not to be longer than 1 minute. In order to improve efficiency, self-introduction can be supplemented by information such as business cards and letters of introduction.
Of course, many interviewers will say to the interviewer, "Please introduce yourself in 3 minutes!" When your preparation time is inconsistent with the interviewer's requirements, how to control the time of self-introduction? It's actually quite simple. Here's a trick. We can split the time equally. In the first minute, you can talk about personal information such as academic qualifications, in the second minute, you can talk about internships, part-time jobs or work experience, and in the third minute, you can talk about your ideals and views on the industry or highlight your ability to match the position in a certain respect. In addition, always keep in mind one goal: arranging the time of self-introduction reasonably is to highlight the key points you want to introduce.
Fourth, highlight the advantages related to the job application.
Once a designer came to the company where I worked for an interview. The company needed to recruit a product designer at that time. He didn't say anything, just took out a series of works and told us when it was designed and what honor it won. Later he was hired by the company. It's simple. When you show your strengths that meet the requirements of the company's recruitment position, the higher the degree of compliance, the greater your chances of being hired.
Don't talk too much about your work experience, education, etc. These resumes are clearly written, so there is no need to repeat them. You should talk more about what makes you feel qualified for the job you are applying for, and it is best to use the work experience and educational achievements related to the job you are applying for as supplementary evidence. What enterprises want to know most is whether job seekers are competent, including: the strongest skills, the deepest knowledge field, the most positive part of personality, the most successful things they have done and the main achievements. Emphasis is on positive personality and ability to do things, don't cry roast meat. As long as it is reasonable, enterprises will believe it.
Here's a trick. If a job seeker has advantages that meet the requirements of the position he is applying for, he may wish to omit the routine introduction when introducing himself. In addition to introducing his name, he will also spend all his time introducing your strengths or advantages, which will leave a very concrete and vivid memory for the interviewer.
Pay attention to the body language of introducing yourself.
Whether we are introducing ourselves or the interviewer is asking questions, we should make sure that our eyes don't wander around and look careless. It is best to pay more attention to the interviewer and add some hand-assisted actions, because the interview is not a speech after all, and it is also important to maintain a proper posture. The attitude should be natural, friendly, cordial and easy-going, with an overall emphasis on being natural and graceful and smiling; The speech is full of confidence and courage, with natural tone, normal speech speed and clear pronunciation.
Sixth, the pursuit of truth
Many job seekers have inexplicably created a lot of relevant work experience for themselves in order to enter a favorite company. An interviewer said to my face that he had been a software development supervisor for two years and did a good job. I asked him, "What is the biggest difficulty you encountered in leading the team to complete the project, and how did you finally solve it?" The other party, uh-huh, couldn't say it for a long time.
Self-introduction is just a letter of introduction to the company. We suggest that we must seek truth from facts and tell the truth with real examples. Being too modest will make you miss the opportunity and boast of exposure, which will only be counterproductive and not worth the loss.
Seven. Closing thanks
After introducing yourself, don't forget to say "thank you" to express your gratitude to the interviewer for giving you the opportunity to come to the company for an interview and show yourself. This kind of casual politeness often directly affects the impression you leave on the interviewer, and even affects your interview results.
It can be said that self-introduction in the interview is very important. Good eloquence and flexible response can not only fully show themselves, but also leave a good impression on the employer. Introducing yourself well during the interview can open a door of hope for your career ideal. As long as you keep a good job-hunting attitude, I believe you will succeed.
Finally, Bian Xiao will summarize some points of self-introduction in the interview: (1) Self-introduction must be consistent with the contents of the resume; (2) Expression must be colloquial; (3) Every sentence should play a certain role in the success of the interview; (4) Clear organization and distinct levels; (5) Write well, memorize key words and practice naturally.
How to introduce yourself in an interview? I believe that after reading the above, you already have the answer in your heart.
