What do you mean by introducing yourself?

Simply put, it is the three steps of "knowing-understanding-appreciating", but in general, most self-introductions can only reach the first two levels, and it is difficult to reach the third level.

For example, introduce yourself in a job interview [2]? The purpose is to make recruiters understand three questions of job seekers:

self-introduction

What do you do now (emphasize the difference in the same point);

What are you going to do in the future (be as specific and reasonable as possible);

What have you done in the past (you should be consistent or coherent with the future).

basic content

edit

When introducing yourself, you must explain the following 5-6 items:

Name;

Hobbies, native place, education or working experience (pay attention to the company);

Professional knowledge and academic background (it should be noted that it is related to the post and position);

Advantages and skills (should highlight the contribution to the company);

Summarizing your own characteristics with humor or epigrams can deepen the impression of others;

Thank you.

Application occasion

Used for the first meeting between strangers.

It is also widely used in job hunting and recruitment.

It is also necessary to take the civil service exam.

Students will introduce themselves when they enter school.

There are also various exams.

It is also needed when editing personal files and resumes.

When giving a speech or presiding.

Expression form

edit

In view of the need to introduce myself [1]? The timing is different, so the expression of self-introduction is different. The content of self-introduction refers to self-introduction [2]? The main part of expression, that is, the specific form of expression when introducing yourself.

To determine the specific content of self-introduction, we should take into account the actual needs and on-site conditions, and should have clear pertinence, and must not be "one thousand people."

According to the different contents of self-introduction, self-introduction can be divided into the following five specific forms:

(1) Entertainment style

Social self-introduction is suitable for some public places and general social occasions, such as traveling, in the banquet hall, on the dance floor and on the phone. Its object is mainly the communication object of general contact. For the introducer, the other party is a casual acquaintance, or has long been familiar with it. Self-introduction is only to confirm one's identity, so the content of this self-introduction should be few and precise.

The content of social self-introduction is the most concise, often including only one name. For example:

"hello! My name is Zhang Lu. "

I'm Yong Yan Wen.

(2) Work style

Working self-introduction is mainly suitable for work. It is a work-centered self-introduction; Communicate because of work and make friends because of work. Sometimes, it is also called official self-introduction.

The content of job self-introduction should include my name, the unit and department where I work, the position I hold or the specific work I have done. They are called the three elements of job self-introduction and are usually indispensable. Among them, the first place should be reported in one bite, and there can be no namelessness or namelessness. Section 2. It is best to report the work units and departments in full, and the specific work departments may not report for the time being. For the position or specific work undertaken in the third paragraph, it is best to report the position if there is a position, and the specific work can be reported if there is a lower position or no position. For example:

"hello! My name is Zhang, and I am the director of the Exchange Department of the Foreign Affairs Office of Dalian Municipal Government.

My name is Fu Dongmei, and I teach diplomacy in the Department of International Politics of Renmin University.

(3) AC type

Communicative self-introduction is mainly suitable for social activities. It is a kind of self-introduction that deliberately seeks further communication with the communication object, hoping that the other party will know themselves, understand themselves and establish contact with themselves. Sometimes, it is also called social self-introduction or social self-introduction.

The content of communicative self-introduction should generally include the introducer's name, work, place of origin, education, interest and the relationship with some acquaintances of the communication object. But they must be comprehensive and based on specific situations. For example:

"My name is Xing Dongsong, and I work in Beijing Jeep Automobile Co., Ltd. ... I am a 90-year-old student in the Department of Automotive Engineering of Tsinghua University. I think we are alumni? "

My name is Sha Jing, and I am the chief financial officer of Tianma Company. Your husband and I went to high school together.

"My name is zhen, from tianjin. I just heard you sing David Jiang's song. He is from Tianjin. I especially like his songs. Do you like them too? "

(4) etiquette

Etiquette-style self-introduction is suitable for some formal and grand occasions such as lectures, reports, performances, celebrations and ceremonies. This is a kind of self-introduction, intended to show friendship and respect for the people you associate with.

The content of etiquette self-introduction also includes name, unit, position, etc. However, we should also add some appropriate modesty and honorific words to show politeness to the people we associate with. For example:

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello! My name is Fan, and I am the deputy general manager of the company. Now, on behalf of our company, I warmly welcome you to our opening ceremony. Thank you for your support. "

(5) Question and answer

Question-and-answer self-introduction is generally suitable for exams, job applications and official exchanges. It is also common in ordinary sexual communication and social occasions.

Ask and answer the content of self-introduction, pay attention to what to ask and answer, and answer all questions. For example:

A asked, "hello, miss, I don't know your name?" A: "Hello, sir! I am the king. "

The examiner asked, "Please introduce your basic situation". The applicant replied: "Hello everyone! My name is Zhang Jun. I am 28 years old. I am from xi, Shaanxi Province, Han nationality. I was born in party member, and I am married. 1995. I graduated from the Department of Ship Engineering of Xi Jiaotong University with a bachelor's degree in engineering. He is currently an assistant engineer of Beijing Shougang Shipping Company, working for 3 years. During this period, I worked in Argentina 1 year. Besides being proficient in my major, I also know English and Japanese, know computers, and can drive and sail. He has published 6 papers in domestic official journals and has a technical patent. "

Type characteristics

edit

According to the occasion and ultimate goal, here, self-introduction is divided into three types:

First, introduce yourself for the purpose of job hunting. This kind of self-introduction [2]? It is mainly used in the interview process because its purpose is to apply for a position. Therefore, in addition to personal natural conditions, self-introduction information usually involves information such as past performance, understanding of the target position, reasons for matching with the target position, special talents or talents. However, it is difficult to express this information in detail because the self-introduction link in the interview process is usually only 2-5 minutes. So you need to master a skill in this process. The methods of creating suspense include:

1, highlighting numbers. For example, job seekers in the market can describe their past performance by comparing several sets of figures, people engaged in R&D can talk about the conversion rate of R&D performance and the market income obtained, people engaged in publicity can talk about the changes in brand awareness and influence, and even college students can use figures to talk about their achievements in part-time jobs. The interviewer will think that the job seeker has something in his words, so he will accept you psychologically first and think that you are really talented!

2. Use proper adverbs or adjectives. For example, "Through the efforts of my team and I, the XX project has made breakthrough progress", "Compared with any previous annual meeting, it is very different", and so on. Interviewers tend to pay attention to the words "breakthrough" and "great difference", so they are interested in asking you more questions. You know, although the length of interview communication is not proportional to the final result, at least in most cases.

3. Summary and induction of personal characteristics. This method is widely used in the job hunting process of fresh college students, so it is still difficult to stand out by expressing personal characteristics, because generally speaking, a considerable number of job seekers use words with personal characteristics that are similar, and most of them are not supported by practical examples, so unless your personal characteristics are really special and there are practical examples, try not to use this method.

The second is self-introduction for the purpose of sales promotion. Different from personal promotion aimed at job hunting, what we are talking about here is mainly the promotion of specific products or services. The key to self-introduction based on this purpose is to start from the customer's excitement, grasp the other party's needs and even potential needs, and guide the other party to express their expectations for products or services (including functions, convenience, follow-up services, cost performance, etc.). ), gradually introduce the company's products or services, analyze their advantages, and even make a simple comparison with similar competitive products. Of course, all these must be communicated by email or telephone in advance. If it's a purely unfamiliar visit for the first time, you can basically just focus on introducing the company without going into too many details unless time permits.

Third, introduce yourself for the convenience of daily work. Work content, topics of interest to the other party. This mainly involves departments or individuals who may be in contact with more in their daily work. It's the first time for me to go to work, and introduce myself briefly, mainly my work. I sincerely hope to get guidance and help from the other side. The key is to show sincerity, and don't let people feel uninterested immediately when they see you. In the subsequent contact, you can gradually talk about other topics, and even "praise" the other person and praise his work attitude.

Etiquette connotation

edit

Etiquette habit

According to the convention of public relations etiquette, introduce people with lower status first. For example, the host should introduce himself to the guests first; Public relations personnel should introduce themselves to distinguished guests; Men should introduce themselves to women. The younger generation should introduce themselves to their elders. It is an important detail to introduce the person with the lowest position first. Of course, sometimes there is no need to be too formal. If the other person has a low position, but forgets to introduce himself, then it is nothing to introduce himself to the person with a high position first. However, it is very important that the introduction should first be made by someone with a lower position. This is the order of introduction.

What should I pay attention to next when introducing myself? Give your business card first, then introduce yourself. You'd better give a business card first when introducing yourself. Well-trained public relations personnel should form the habit of standardizing the use of business cards. Give me your business card first. There are three advantages to handing in your business card first. First of all, you should talk less. I don't need to say my title or position. Secondly, it will deepen each other's impression. Third, show humility. Not only when introducing themselves, but also when exchanging business cards, people with low status give their business cards first, which is actually to respect each other.

Etiquette in official introduction

In professional situations, it's different. The official introduction contains four elements. What are the four elements? Name, unit, department and position. For example, hello, I'm Professor Jin from the School of International Studies of Renmin University of China. In this unit, departments, positions and names have all come out. But pay attention to: how did your parents want to name you? What does your name have to do with your rough life? This is all nonsense. Don't say it when introducing yourself. In addition, use your full name when introducing yourself. When you first introduce your organization and department, don't forget to use your full name. Sometimes, when reporting to the company, it is necessary to make it clear. If the newspaper is full, it will be full, and if the newspaper is abbreviated, it will be abbreviated, otherwise it will be very troublesome. Blow your own horn makes people laugh, but it's impolite to call others directly.

Pay attention to key points

In public relations, you are often asked to introduce yourself to others or others. When introducing others, the more important questions are as follows:

first

Who will be the introducer? There are guests at home, usually the hostess as an introducer. If there are guests at home who don't know each other, the hostess is obliged to introduce them. The company is here. Who is the general introducer? There are generally three kinds of working guests. The first kind of person, full-time staff, public relations, secretarial, office director. The second kind of people, peers. For example, if I call your sales manager Li, your manager Li is obliged to introduce me to people who are not known by other people present. In the same way. Suppose you are Li Xiaoping from the dormitory, and you are a student. I will meet you in your dormitory. I am your uncle or your uncle. If I find you, do you have an obligation to introduce me to your classmates? And according to social etiquette, you should introduce me (your uncle or uncle) to your classmates first, and then introduce you to me. Of course, it must be introduced in time. Otherwise, if we stare at each other, there will inevitably be an awkward atmosphere. I'm looking for you, so you have an obligation to introduce me. The third kind of person is the leader of this unit. Who will introduce the distinguished guests to the company? The person with the highest position in this unit, for example, you are the chairman of the company, I am the president, and my president went to your place to inspect the work, so you, the chairman, have the obligation to introduce me to the president and your staff, so don't say hello to the public relations manager. To tell the truth, the public relations manager knows me, but I don't know him. This is a kind of respect for distinguished guests. In a word, the question of who is the introducer is very important.

second

Introduce yourself when you don't know each other. I'm a reference. When I introduce both sides, I have to consider whether they know each other. Of course, there will be some hints in actual operation. The requirements of environment and people suggest that it is necessary for you to introduce yourselves to each other.

third

Pay attention to its order. Pay attention to the order in the specific operation. Is to introduce who to whom. According to social etiquette, the standard practice is to introduce the host first. This kind of introduction is gender-neutral, regardless of age and position. This is an introduction between the guest and the host. When introducing guests and hosts, introduce the host first. Why? Because guests have priority to know. In other words, the person who introduces first has a lower status. For example, when introducing men and women, introduce men first and then women. When introducing the younger generation and elders, introduce the younger generation first, and then introduce the elders. When introducing superiors and subordinates, first introduce those with low positions, and then introduce those with high positions. When introducing the host and guests, introduce the host first, and then introduce the guests. Sometimes, there is more than one host and guest, so you should pay attention. You should introduce the host first. When introducing the host, the chairman and general manager should be introduced first, and then the department manager should be introduced. When introducing guests, they are also sorted by position, with the higher position first and the lower position later.

taboo

Don't brag about your "great achievements", be careful what others think.

Don't be short, it will appear that you are uneducated; Don't make a long speech, it will be long and people won't be interested in you.

Different occasions should have different self-introductions. Don't use the same one, which will make you confused about the occasion, which is what old people often say.

Don't say too much about yourself. For example, Bank of Communications requires everyone to introduce themselves in three sentences. Is there really only name+major+school? Of course, we must be flexible. For example, I said: the first sentence, good English; The second sentence, professional counterparts; The third sentence, character strengths. Then expand and say a few words, and the effect is very good.

Pay attention to logic and structure. Some people's self-introduction is easy to come by, and they speak casually, without focus and structure, which is bound to make people confused, so they should sort out a line and speak in an orderly way.

Speak slowly and pay attention to the cadence.

You can talk about your own shortcomings, but in another way, such as my handling method, if you are impatient sometimes, you can say that you are too eager to achieve success; Sometimes we miss the big picture because we refuse to let go of the details, which can be said to be too pursuit of perfection and so on. Anyway, just take care of it.

Team spirit or coordination ability is increasingly favored by employers, so this layer needs individuals to make their own attitudes and beliefs.

Can't repeat.

Answer Tip: Self-introduction includes: the strongest skills, the deepest knowledge field, the most positive part of personality, the most successful things I have done, major achievements, etc. These can have nothing to do with learning, but they can also be related to learning, but the positive personality and ability to do things should be prominent and consistent with the corresponding positions, which is reasonable and reasonable.

When introducing yourself and answering other questions, don't look around, it will be casual and careless. It's best to keep your eyes on the interviewer, but not for too long. Then try to add less hand movements, because this is not a speech after all, and it is also important to maintain proper posture. Watch the time. If the interviewer specifies a time, be sure to pay attention to it, neither too long nor too short. But if there is no specified time, try to complete the answer within 1 minute.

to apply for a job

purpose

In a regular interview, the first question that the interviewer asks after greeting is almost always like this: "Please introduce yourself briefly [1]?" . Some interviewers will ask: the situation in the resume has been clearly written. This is not necessary, is it?

To answer this question, first find out why the interviewer wants you to introduce yourself. What qualities does the interviewer want to examine through self-introduction? Only by knowing the interviewer's purpose can the interviewer introduce himself well.

The interviewer should examine the following five aspects through the interviewer's self-introduction:

First of all, check whether the content of self-introduction conflicts with the content of submitting resume. If the resume is true, there will be no obvious difference in oral self-introduction. If the resume is false, the self-introduction stage will generally leak. If the interviewee asks, "My experience is written in my resume", the interviewer will think that this person is a bit fake, and the impression will suddenly drop to negative.

Secondly, the interviewer's basic logical thinking ability and language expression ability are investigated, and summarized, refined and generalized.

Third, examine whether the interviewee is focused, concise and capable, and has the ability to perceive and control the scene.

Fourth, investigate the interviewees' initial self-cognitive ability and value orientation. Because the interviewer should describe the reasons at the key point of career change, especially the reasons for career change.

Fifth, check whether the interviewee understands the interviewer's words and the ability to control time. Sometimes the question given by the interviewer is "Please introduce yourself in 3 to 5 minutes", and sometimes the interviewer will be more than 65,438+00 minutes or even 20 minutes at a time, forcing the interviewer to remind and guide him many times.

Therefore, self-introduction is the place where the interviewer can best show his ability outside the thesis. Under normal circumstances, it is also the only opportunity for the interviewee to show himself voluntarily during the whole interview process. If there is a next time, it will be the interviewer's last question: "What else do you want to ask me?" But this question is usually left only when the interviewer thinks that the interviewee is basically reliable.

skill

First of all, make a very short opening speech politely, and send a signal to all interviewers that interviewers should pay attention to other things. You can wait for a while, and then start when the interviewer pays attention to your "key points".

Seize the time. If the time for self-introduction is specified, pay attention to the length of time, neither too long nor too short, so you can usually prepare two self-introductions at home, one self-introduction of 1 minute and one self-introduction of 3 minutes.

Contents of self-introduction: such as name, work experience, time, etc. It should be mentioned briefly, because there is enough introduction on the resume. At this time, you should focus on what is not on your resume, that is, your advantages, work experience and achievements in this position to prove that you can hold this position well.

In the process of introducing yourself, you must pay attention to it, which is also the least courtesy. If you look around and are careless, if you are an interviewer, would you want such a person? Posture can keep a posture, after all, time is short.

After introducing yourself: After the end, be sure to thank the interviewer and listen to your introduction patiently. A brief self-introduction is just to prepare for a deeper understanding next time.

prepare

First, there should be sufficient preparation before the interview.

Conduct a "thorough investigation" of the company before attending the interview; At the same time, we should have a comprehensive understanding of our own strengths and weaknesses, so as to know ourselves and know ourselves.

Second, self-introduction should have ideas.

You can explain it in the order of work experience, such as describing the work experience of several companies in your resume, or according to your ability, such as what your ability is, which will make HR feel that your thinking is clear.

Third, pay attention to your mentality and control your emotions during the interview.

Many people are nervous during the interview, which leads to unclear words or blank brains. Actually, it's totally unnecessary. You have to believe that you are a talented person and you are fully qualified, which will be much better.

Fourth, seize this minute and show your talents as much as possible.

For example, dedication, seriousness and pragmatism; But also be modest, don't exaggerate yourself too much, or you will be trapped.

Pay attention.

Should be oriented to work requirements;

Should show full confidence (moderate modesty);

Try to catch the audience's attention (make a good start and write down what you are most proud of and what the other person cares about most);

Strive for "three highlights": highlight the advantages (credibility), highlight the personality (clear and specific, you can borrow other people's words), highlight the key points (a little key, comprehensive and extensive, with points and areas);

Remember the "two musts": no exaggeration (speaking with facts) and good chaos (logical).

standard

Usually, recruiters evaluate job seekers' self-introduction:

Time: it should be strictly controlled within the specified time. Generally, the short time is 0.5~ 1 minute, and the long time is 1~3 minutes, up to 5 minutes.

Words: 100~ 1000 words. About 200 words is appropriate (the most opportunities and the most essence).

Evaluation standard: There is no uniform standard according to different recruiters and different job types. But the approximate proportion is: speaking speed 10%, pronunciation 10%, clarity 10%, expression 15%, emphasis 30%, and art 25% (aphorisms, aphorisms or others, to deepen the impression).

In short, job seekers must introduce themselves and guide the questions to their own advantages. This will leave a good impression on the employer. Don't rush to prove what will happen to me, but think about what the employer wants me to do. Think about the purpose of the enterprise to recruit people, whether it suits you.

Description: Self-introduction and self-evaluation, skills and expertise are three different concepts.

Self-evaluation is not the same as self-introduction. Self-introduction can introduce your own characteristics in great detail, and the length can be long or short. Self-evaluation is short, with strong generality and pertinence. From the perspective of human resources department, they are not interested in lengthy self-introduction, but only care about the core strengths and advantages of job seekers.

Self-evaluation is not equal to skills and expertise. The difference between the two: self-evaluation is a general description, including summarizing one's skills and expertise in short words; Self-evaluation mainly shows the comprehensive quality and characteristics of human resources through these concise summaries, including skills and expertise summary, personal qualifications summary, hobbies description, communication and coordination ability summary and so on. Skills and expertise are specific descriptions, which need to show their core competitive advantages to the human resources department in a comprehensive, detailed and focused manner.

experience

1, please introduce yourself?

Answer prompt: In fact, 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, major achievements, etc. These can have nothing to do with learning, or they can be related to learning, but only by highlighting positive personality and ability to do things will enterprises believe it. Enterprises attach great importance to a person's manners. Job seekers should respect the examiner and say "thank you" after answering every question. Enterprises like polite job seekers.

2. What do you think is the greatest strength of your personality?

Answer prompt: calm, clear-cut, firm, tenacious, helpful and caring, adaptable, humorous, optimistic and friendly. After one or two years' training and practical project of Beida Jade Bird, plus internship, I am suitable for this job.

3. Tell me about your greatest weakness?

Answer tip: This question is likely to be asked by enterprises, and they usually don't want to hear what are the shortcomings of direct answers. If the job seeker says that he is narrow-minded, jealous, lazy, bad-tempered and inefficient, the company will definitely not hire you. Never be smart enough to answer "My greatest weakness is to pursue perfection too much". Some people think this answer will make them look better, but in fact they are already in jeopardy. Enterprises like job seekers to talk about their own advantages, add some minor shortcomings in the middle, and finally turn the problem back to advantages and highlight advantages. Enterprises like smart job seekers.

4. What do you think of overtime?

Answer tip: In fact, many companies ask this question, not to prove that you must work overtime, but to test whether you are willing to contribute to the company.

Answer sample: If it is necessary for work, I will work overtime voluntarily, without any family burden, and I can devote myself to my work. But at the same time, I will also improve work efficiency and reduce unnecessary overtime.

5. What is your salary requirement?

Answer tip: If your salary requirement is too low, it is obviously demeaning your ability; If the salary you ask is too high, it will appear that you are overweight and the company cannot afford it. Some employers usually set a budget in advance for the positions they apply for, so their first job is often the highest price they can offer. They only ask you to confirm whether the money is enough to arouse your interest in the job.

Answer sample 1: I don't have a rigid requirement for salary. I believe your company will handle my problem in a friendly and reasonable way. I focus on finding suitable job opportunities, so as long as the conditions are fair, I won't care too much.

Sample 2: I have received systematic training in software programming, and I don't need much training, and I am particularly interested in programming myself. So I hope the company can give me a reasonable salary according to my situation and the level of market standards.

Sample 3: If you have to say the specific figures yourself, please don't say the broad range, then you will only get the smallest figures. It's best to give a specific figure, which shows that you have made a survey on today's talent market and know what kind of value employees with your education have.

6. What is your career plan in five years?

Answer Tip: This is a question that every candidate doesn't want to be asked, but almost everyone will be asked, and more answers are "managers". But in recent years, many companies have established special technical channels. These positions are usually called "consultants", "participating technicians" or "senior software engineers" and so on. Of course, you can also name other positions you are interested in, such as product sales manager, production manager and other positions related to your major. You know, examiners always like enterprising candidates. If you say "I don't know" at this time, you may miss a good opportunity. The most common answer should be "I am going to make a difference in the technical field" or "I hope to develop according to the company's management ideas".

7. What do your friends say about you?

Answer hint: I want to know about your personality and the problems of getting along with others from the side.

Answer sample 1: My friends say that I am a trustworthy person. Because once I promise something to others, I will definitely do it. If I can't do it, I won't say yes easily.
