What should I say first when introducing myself? What do you say in the middle? How to end in the end? What are the main things that are better? Moreover, there is also "self-introduction" in paper resumes, so are the contents of the two "self-introductions" the same? If it is different, what should be different?
How to make a unique self-introduction?
Everyone pays more attention to interviews because it concerns whether they can get the job. However, many people don’t know how to show themselves during interviews? An important point is that everyone needs to introduce themselves. Below is a collection of self-introductions for interviews. Welcome to read and refer to it!
This article is more about teaching you (self-introduction) the underlying logic and method changes, hoping to give you new insights in the job search process.
In fact, many people also have the same doubts as the questioner: there is already a self-introduction on the resume, why do you have to say it again during the interview?
What is the difference between self-introduction during the interview and the resume?
Compared to the resume, the self-introduction during the interview should beIt is more colloquial and is the destination to guide the subsequent problems.
What is more taboo is to directly retell the self-introduction on your resume.The interviewer usually reads your resume when you introduce yourself. If you memorize the self-introduction directly on the resume at this time, what is the significance of the self-introduction in the interview?
From the interviewer's perspective, the purpose of introducing yourself to a job is simple:Want to get to know you quickly.Because it’s faster than reading a resume.
Correspondingly, for job seekers, you should seize the opportunity to introduce yourself.Communicate more useful information so that the subsequent communication will be more favorable to yourself (you know, be good at it or be prepared).
So, what should we do specifically?
1. Preparation for the interview
Even if you feel that you have a clear understanding of your past experience when writing your resume. Before the interview, you must also conduct a systematic review and combine your own experience with the needs of the target company. for example:
1. What have you done, what are the characteristics and highlights
Based on the experience written on the resume, carefully sort it out, for example, in the corresponding experience,
- What exactly have you done? What achievements have you achieved?
- What projects have you participated in? What roles do you hold in a project or team? What contribution will it bring to the team?
Combining these questions, discover your own traits and highlights, or represent your personal label.
2. Based on understanding the industry, you can have certain insights
Before the interview, you must have some understanding of the job position and the industry in which the company is located, and on this basis, think based on your own past experiences, and then form your own industry insights. This is very important especially for friends who want to change careers.
To understand the industry, you can use:
① Make good use of our commonly used platforms,For example, hot news on Zhihu, Weibo, etc., to understand the industry trends.
②Analyze through industry reports or informationOr directly to some vertical fields,
③ Leading companies in the industry: Understanding the development of leading companies that are better done in the industry can help you understand where the industry ceiling is.
④Find experienced seniors to communicate: Consult seniors with work experience in the corresponding industry and listen to what they say. If you don’t have one around, you can pay to ask professionals or industry celebrities yourself.
3. Understand and analyze the job requirements, corporate culture and values
During the interview, the interviewer mainly examines whether the job seeker is qualified for the position. Therefore, before the interview, you need to analyze the job needs, and during the interview process, you should also focus on the job needs you have.
Before the interview, we can dismantle the JD job and uncover the job needs, such as:
It can be concluded:
In addition to writing and planning skills, other important abilities in the position include:
- Understand cars (also known as understanding of the industry or a certain field)
- Have extensive experience and related resources
- Have some management capabilities
- Photography skills, know how to PS
The bonus points are video shooting and editing.
Similarly, if you apply for this position, you will mainly talk about this aspect based on your own highlights.
After the self-introduction, you can talk about some discourses related to corporate culture and values to express your attitude towards the company.
4. Combined with the sorted characteristics or highlights, and write a self-introduction based on the needs of the company
Introducing yourself in an interview is actually equivalent to an overview of the key information of your resume and narrating your highlights.
How to say specifically?
first, you can first list your basic information, such as name, school, major, etc.
Furthermore,You can list the highlights you sorted out earlier (matching job requirements), such as:
Finally, express your expectations for your future job if you enter the company and your attitude towards the company.
This method mainly usesA simple way to summarizeTo express it, in addition to this, it can also beThe storytelling form is introduced by myself,for example:
Of course, these are just self-introduction methods that provide reference. If you have other more creative expressions, you can also follow your own methods, but the underlying logic is still inseparable from the preparatory preparation mentioned above.
In addition, it should be noted thatThe interviewer will most likely ask questions based on the key points mentioned in the self-introduction, so after the self-introduction manuscript is ready, you must also prepare the answers to the questions you may be asked next.
After writing your self-introduction, practice several times at home in front of the mirror before the interview, and be confident and generous during the interview.
2. Key points to pay attention to
1. Self-introduction time controls1-3 minutes, be careful not to exceed 3 minutes;
2. Don’t just say adjectives without specific experiences, such as expressing that you are easy to learn, you do not hope to be able to study in your company. If you want to express yourself to be studious, you can change your expression and add specific experiences to the later part, such as "I am keen on studying, and I learned video editing after work, and published 3 works on TikTok every week, and obtained... (Scores)".
3. Don’t be embarrassed to tell your strengths.
4.You can package yourself in moderation during an interview, but remember not to lie. The interviewer is not stupid, you can see it.
5.Remember that the content of self-introduction will guide the questions later. This was mentioned in previous answers, if this article is helpful to you,
Whether I am interviewing job seekers myself, or HRs and interviewers from other companies, I have been examining interviewers since I introduced myself.
If you can "play normally" in the self-introduction part, it will actually help the interviewer grasp the rhythm of the entire interview; on the contrary, if you are not prepared for this part, a not-so-good self-introduction will have the side effects of "deduction of points".
This answer will be developed from the following two aspects:
- What are the minefields for self-introduction
- The universal formula for self-introduction
1. The minefield of self-introduction
Let’s take a look at what self-introduction “minefields” have stepped on these two “negative point templates”.
1. Self-introduction is empty and extensive
It introduces a lot of content and says it very comprehensively, just like repeating the content on the resume. This is an invalid result, because if the interviewer wants to know these contents, he can read the resume directly. Why do you have to listen to you again?
So it is very undesirable to introduce yourself like this that seems "very comprehensive" and it will leave your narrative without any focus. Without a point, there is no memory point; without a memory point, how can we leave a good impression on the interviewer?
2. The described experience does not match the position
The two self-introductions mentioned just mentioned do not mention "whether the fit between my work experience and the recruitment requirements for the interview position", and this is exactly what the interviewer wants to hear the most: what is the matching degree of previous work experience and current position.
If you can clearly state this in the self-introduction part, then the interviewer is likely to have a "light" feeling and quickly locate the relevant work experience part in the resume. Then the following conversation is likely to discuss the work experience in this part and continue to gain an in-depth understanding of you as a job seeker.
At this time, it is equivalent to mastering a topic of the interview, which can help you grasp the rhythm of the interview.
But if your self-introduction is very "comprehensive", the interviewer can only listen to what you are saying while finding out where your resume has experience meeting the job needs. If you can't find the experience the interviewer wants, the interviewer can only ask you on his own initiative. At this time, it is easy to ask some questions that you are not good at or questions that you don't want to answer.
3. Scream slogans and express your determination
Just like the content of the second negative point template, if you say a slogan "I will work hard, I will cheer up" is actually completely unimpressing the interviewer.
Let’s think about it carefully: If we don’t say such slogans and promises, will we not work seriously? Of course not. Such a slogan is often to tell the interviewer: I actually have no experience and nothing to say, so I can only ensure that my attitude is good.
Such self-introduction will not reflect the professionalism of the job seeker, whether it is the on-site interview experience or the reasons behind it.
2. Self-introduction secrets
I just finished talking about three minefields. Now let’s talk about the universal formula that can be applied in the interview self-introduction section:
【Overview】+【Match Advantages】+【Explanation Selection】
- 【Summary of experience】: A brief summary of previous experiences
- 【Match Advantages】: Find the advantages of matching positions from past jobs
- 【Instructions for selection】: Explain why you want to choose this position, company and industry
This will lead to a complete self-introduction process.
In this answer, we can see that the first part briefly introduces the work content, focusing on the second part, that is, how you have the ability to match, and the last part, what value you can bring to the company. The latter two parts are very important.
3. Summary
In self-introduction:
First, don’t say it too comprehensively. Telling out all your work experience means not saying it, because the interviewer can’t grasp the key points, so it’s better not to say it;
Second, don’t shout slogans, because everyone will shout slogans. The key is whether you can come up with results that prove your ability and experience;
Third, you must choose experiences and experiences that meet the needs of the job, which are what the interviewer wants to see the most.
What corresponds to these three points is that job seekers need to have a full understanding of the company and position before the interview, so that they can integrate your own work experience and abilities into it.
In addition, if the position you like does not match your own experience, it is necessary to do some projects, practical exercises, etc., so that you can gain the initiative and master the interview rhythm in the entire interview process.
