Interviewing Skills: How to Introduce yourself
Despite every interviewer asks you to describe yourself, you have to prepare and give a response tailored to the specific employer
to suit its interests and needs.
Important Notes when you introduce yourself:
|

|
Make sure you speak with ethusisam and confidence, smile and keep eye contact.
|
|

|
When talking about your working experience, organize what you say:
|
|
|
|
start with your most relevant working experience and tell how you enjoyed it.
|
|
|
|
provide details and examples to illustrate your skills, describe a similar situation which the prospective employer might face and how you resolved the challenge.
|
|
|
|
To conclude, highlight your value and what benefits you will bring to the employer.
|
|

|
Never say something negative about yourself, your past experience or previous employers.
|
|

|
Not just experience, mention any relevant accomplishments
|
|

|
Disclose personal information strategically, e.g. An executive who applys a job requiring frequent travel
|
|
|
can share how he/ she enjoys traveling.
|
|

|
The interviewer may test your language skill by requesting you to introduce yourself in second language
|
|
|
(English/ Mandarin), so be prepared!
