How to introduce yourself in an interview
4hw.com.cn: when looking for a job, everyone must introduce himself in the interview. Self introduction can see whether a person is confident and has the ability of speech expression. Only by introducing himself can he win the favor of the interviewer. So how should he introduce himself in the interview? What are the tips? Let's have a look.
How to introduce yourself during the interview
Self introduction is the first contact between the interviewer and the interviewer. From the perspective of Psychology:
(1) If the self introduction makes a good impression on the interviewer, he determines that you are an excellent job seeker. In the next interview, the interviewer will try to find out the basis that can prove his point of view (you are a good job seeker) from your answer.
The interviewer's focus is: tap your highlights
(2) If the self introduction leaves a bad impression on the interviewer, he thinks you are a mediocre job seeker. In the next interview, the interviewer will try to find out the basis that can prove his point (you are a mediocre job seeker) from your answer.
The interviewer's focus is: finding fault
Therefore, self introduction is like the beginning of playing chess. If you start well, the next interview will become more smooth.
Preparation before self introduction
No matter which company to interview, self introduction essentially answers the following three questions:
1. Who are you (character + advantage)
You may have n personality characteristics and advantages, but you only need to list the personality characteristics (e.g. Danone likes people who are not too strong and pay more attention to teamwork) and advantages (e.g. P & G likes people with leadership) of the company you want to interview. Remember: always sell your selling points around what your sales target (interviewer, company, position) values.
2. Why are you suitable for this company?
Understand the culture of the company you are applying for, your reputation in the industry, organizational structure, etc. Then connect with your values, personal interests, etc. and list the common points.
3. Why are you suitable for this position?
Analyze the job description of the position you are applying for and what competency requirements it has. Then list your education, work experience, school and community experience to see which is consistent with the job description. Similarly, you may have n work experience or community experience, but only screen the experience related to the company and position you are interviewing.
Key points: you can write the most detailed version when preparing your self introduction (list all your personality characteristics, advantages, work experience and community experience, and then reduce it to a 1-minute or 2-minute version according to the requirements of different companies before preparing for the interview)
Tip: if it is a one-to-one interview, self introduction can be as long as 2 minutes. If it is a group, hardy suggests that self introduction should be controlled within 1 minute.
