How to write a personal introduction

1. The concept of personal profile

(1) The concept and role of personal profile Personal profile is a written expression for the parties to comprehensively and concisely introduce their own situation. The personal profile written during the job search process is a document for job seekers to introduce themselves comprehensively, concisely and clearly to the unit they wish to work for, and recommend themselves. In recent years, the employment of graduates has changed from state-provided employment to two-way choice and independent career choice. The main way is to enter the job through job application. In a sense, writing a profile is no less than attending an interview. Through a personal profile of just a few hundred words, it should not only fully demonstrate the talents and comprehensive qualities of the graduates, but also make the recruiter feel that he or she is a candidate with clear thinking, strong organization, and outstanding language expression skills. Therefore, writing a good personal profile is the first step to a successful job search. However, in practice, many graduates do not clearly understand the boundaries between personal profiles and cover letters, which affects the effectiveness of their job search. Here, I will first talk about the differences and connections between the two. (2) Similarities and Differences between Personal Introduction and Cover Letter

Personal introduction and cover letter are both forms of job application documents. It is a specialized job application document, but they each have their own characteristics:

1. From the perspective of application, a cover letter is a letter in which the person concerned applies for a job to a certain unit where he or she wishes to work. Whether it is a self-recommendation letter that actively introduces oneself to a recruiting unit, or an application letter indicating that one is willing to apply for a certain position based on the other party's recruitment advertisement. In terms of operating procedures, graduates first determine a job search goal and then write based on their specific circumstances. Therefore, the cover letter is only suitable for a single job applicant, that is, it is only suitable for applying for one unit or position. The personal profile is for graduates to first make a rough judgment on the scope of their job search based on their own abilities and market demand, and then write an article (personal profile), and try to make it meet the needs of the units and positions within this scope. Therefore, the application scope of personal profile is broad and can be applied to multiple units or positions within a certain range. 2. From the perspective of writing format, a cover letter is a written form of job application, such as a title, honorific, signature and date. The personal profile is mostly a personal, school and professional overview submitted by graduates in person to the unit where they want to work, together with recommendation forms, certificates, certifications, copies of published works, personal contact information and other relevant information. It is not a letter in itself. There is a big difference in writing format between the two. 3. From the writing point of view, the writing method of the cover letter emphasizes that it should be highly targeted, that is, it should be written intentionally according to the characteristics and requirements of a certain unit or position where you want to work, so that the key points should be clear and prominent. The personal introduction pays more attention to comprehensiveness and compatibility in writing, emphasizing introducing yourself truthfully in the shortest possible length, and trying to meet the needs of multiple types of units and positions as much as possible. 4. From the perspective of its role, the advantage of the cover letter is that it can be drafted in a targeted manner according to the needs of the job seeker, which has certain advantages for graduates who want to find jobs in other places. Its shortcoming is that with the rapid development of the talent market and the continuous improvement of departmental work efficiency, many recruiting units are no longer willing to communicate through letters. Direct interviews have become the mainstream method for attracting talents in current agencies, enterprises and institutions. In addition, because it provides slow feedback and requires you to write a cover letter for each unit you apply for, it brings a lot of inconvenience to graduates and even delays time and delays opportunities. Personal profiles are different. Graduates can use the same personal information to apply for many job seekers. It also saves time spent on sending letters and waiting for letters. Direct applications corresponding to personal profiles can reduce unnecessary links and help recruiters to fully and truly understand and examine graduates, making the work faster and more effective. It can be said that personal introduction and cover letter have their own strengths and weaknesses. Graduates can choose the appropriate type of writing according to different situations and opportunities to be more conducive to job hunting. 2. The format and writing method of personal introduction The writing principle of personal introduction is to be comprehensive, stable and highly mobile and flexible. In the selection of materials, we will mainly focus on factual materials, focus on introducing your professional level, ability and comprehensive quality, and briefly talk about your views and opinions on study, work, life, etc. The language needs to be accurate, plain and concise. The layout is arranged from the key points to the subordinate ones, and the details are arranged appropriately. Specifically, it includes three parts: capital, body and tail. (1) The following two points should be clearly stated in the first part:

1. Title: Write "Personal Introduction" or "About Me" in the center at the top of the article. 2. Basic information of graduates: Write down name, gender, age, school of graduation, major studied, which class of graduates, etc.

If your household registration is in the area where you want to work, you should also indicate it. The purpose of this paragraph is to give the applicant an outline impression. It needs to be brief and summarized. (2) The main text is generally divided into five levels, including:

1. Learning status during school This part should highlight the depth and breadth of learning, especially the degree of mastery of professional knowledge. Specific contents include: courses studied, ranking in class or grade, awards received (such as "three good students", scholarships, etc.), participation in national vocational qualification examinations and self-study examinations, professional strengths, and majors with more extracurricular involvement Knowledge areas and other content that illustrates your professional strengths. The subjects studied at school should be representative and should not be listed all and occupy too much space. Extracurricular content should be an expansion and extension of the major. The introduction of professional strengths must be convincing. If you choose some simple subjects, your own standards will be lowered. For example, a computer major graduate wrote here: "I can flexibly use WPS2000 and Excel97." Obviously, as a computer major graduate, it is not appropriate to only emphasize the application of two office automation software. 2． Practical operation ability and practical experience Practical operation ability and practical experience have become important aspects for employers to evaluate talents, and their content should be closely related to the major. The introduction of practical operation ability needs to be specific about the achievements. For example, you should state the types, number, and representative works of important articles you have published or written, what associations you have participated in and the positions you have held, and the awards you have won in professional competitions, etc. The introduction of practical experience should specify the time limit, unit, position held, harvest or achievements of social practice, and must not be superficial or general. For example, some students wrote: "I used the winter and summer vacations to engage in certain social practices and accumulated a lot of experience." "Definitely" is an inaccurate concept - the specific work content has not been explained; and the conclusion that "a lot of experience has been accumulated" lacks basis and is not specific. The first two levels of the main part mainly talk about professional aspects, which are the core of the article. The two layers of content are closely related and can be combined flexibly. A computer science graduate introduced his professional strengths and practical activities together: "I am good at programming, and have a good grasp of C language, FOXBASE, BASIC, etc., especially a more systematic and in-depth study of C language. I have used this language to write a financial accounting program for the Finance Office of xx unit, and wrote an educational management program for the Academic Affairs Department of xx Primary School. Both of the above programs have been applied and well received by users (two copies of the self-written program demo version (In the disk you brought). "Writing like this emphasizes the key points of mastering knowledge and highlights practical ability, giving people the impression of being eager to learn and motivated, and having strong practical ability, which is more convincing. 3. Focus on introducing one or two aspects, what you have learned, what you are good at, what you have achieved, and their practice outside of your major. This level of content should be about your most outstanding abilities, and you can even get a job directly based on it. Achievements generally refer to diplomas, certificates, or published papers and articles obtained in these areas. For example, a graduate majoring in finance and auditing took the English major self-study exam while in school and obtained a college diploma before graduation. Here he can give an introduction to the study and practice of the English major. The writing method can be regarded as a merger of the first and second levels, but more concise. 4. Character, quality and social work ability The introduction of character and quality should not only respect the facts, but also try to be consistent with the characteristics of the major studied. For example, accountants must be meticulous, steady, and honest, while marketers must be cheerful, eloquent, and unafraid of setbacks. If graduates have outstanding social work abilities, they should also consider factors that make their qualities suitable for administrative work. If there are any typical deeds, they should be written down. The writing in this part must not be rhetorical or give people a sense of flashiness. Generally, at this level, the introduction of character and quality is only a concise overview, focusing on work ability, and the student cadre positions held in the school, important activities organized or participated in, political performance, Details of awards received (such as "outstanding league member", "outstanding student leader"), etc. should be explained in detail for the convenience of the recruiter's inspection. You can also briefly talk about social practice outside your major, such as working as a tutor, salesman, etc. Because most technical secondary school graduates are young, they may easily give people the impression that they are immature in thinking, lacking in social experience, and relatively weak in administrative work ability, so the introduction here is also key. 5. Hobbies, specialties, etc. Graduates with certain specialties are often much more likely to be selected than applicants with the same qualifications. The specific content of this layer is: specialties in literature and art, sports, calligraphy, painting, etc.

Here, when selecting candidates, attention should be paid to the key points. It is not advisable to cover everything, but the outstanding performance should be described in detail, such as "won the first place in the 100-meter race of the men's group A in the 2000 Spring Track and Field Games of our school" etc. If you have no expertise in literature, art, sports, etc., you can give a concise explanation, such as "I am in good health and have a wide range of hobbies, especially table tennis, aerobics and other sports", or you can omit it. The third and fourth levels of the main part can be written in reverse order according to different situations; that is, in which aspects of the job seeker's outstanding abilities, the content of this part should be introduced first. If the content of the third layer is not much, it can be combined with the fifth layer. (3) Tail: The tail of the personal profile mainly expresses one's determination and confidence to make unremitting efforts, be proactive, and repay the unit well in future work. You can also talk about your career-focused thoughts. Sometimes the introduction of character and quality is also placed here. This part of the writing should be brief, usually three or two sentences will suffice. 3. Issues that should be paid attention to when writing a personal profile (1) The writing method should be flexible and avoid rigid formats. The arrangement structure and use of pen and ink should follow the principle that the ancients said: "There is no definite body, but there must be the general body." In other words, you must not only consider general rules, but also combine your own reality to establish key points, plan layout, and organize materials. You must not copy rigidly. (2) Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, avoid making general remarks

From a group perspective, the disadvantages of technical secondary school graduates are that they have less experience and a relatively low level of knowledge; the advantage is that most school majors are close to market reality and close to the front line It is necessary, and technical secondary school graduates are young, willing to endure hardship, and have strong plasticity. Individually, each graduate has different strengths and strengths. For example, a considerable number of graduates have good hands-on skills; some students are very motivated and have also taken vocational qualification examinations or self-study examinations during their schooling. Therefore, on the premise of seeking truth from facts and not committing fraud, special attention should be paid to utilizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, so as to gain an advantage in the competition and impress the recruiter. Writing without focus and organization can easily make the article appear unclear and disorganized. (3) Master the language style and avoid inappropriate wording. The style of personal introduction belongs to the applied style, and its characteristics are: ① The wording should be accurate and appropriate, and it is not suitable to use colloquial words, ambiguous words and uncommon abbreviations. ② The syntax is required to be complete and strict. Generally, exclamations, omissions, and erroneous sentences are not allowed. ③ The language should be concise. The personal introduction should focus on speaking with facts. The writing process is the process of summarizing and classifying the facts. The article should avoid repetition, wordiness, and lengthyness, and avoid big words and empty words. ④The tone is mainly plain, and some places can also be written more lively and vividly (such as the beginning and the end), but it is not appropriate to use highly lyrical words and rhetorical techniques such as exaggeration; at the same time, it must be modest but not humble. Be confident but not arrogant. In the use of language, you must have the spirit of "deliberation" and study and discuss word by word, sentence by sentence, and paragraph by paragraph, in order to write a more excellent article.
