How to talk about yourself in an interview?

When interviewing, the examiner often asks the first question: "Tell me about yourself!" That is, let you introduce yourself. Many job seekers will think, "Didn't I write it all on my resume?" Why do you have to ask again? Therefore, they are impatient, and some job seekers even use "I have written these clearly in my resume." "In that case, answer the examiner.

In the interview, we should take "self-introduction" as an important content in order to explore more in-depth topics.

Many people answer this question too often, only saying their name, age, hobbies, work experience and resume. 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, successful cases, major achievements and so on. It is reasonable to highlight positive personality and ability to do things and be persuasive.

There are several meanings in this:

First, through self-introduction, you can basically understand your oral expression and communication skills;

Second, you can basically judge whether you understand the requirements of the position. As we mentioned earlier, your self-introduction should meet their job requirements. If you don't know the main direction of your future work, then what you often express in your self-description is what they are not interested in;

Third, they can also use it to judge whether you are honest or not. Job seekers may lie on their resumes or application forms, but oral statements on the spot are often more true;

In addition, it is also possible that your resume is not well written, and he hopes to learn more detailed things from you. But anyway, in a word, self-introduction should be simple and to the point, and grasp the key points that the examiner is interested in. For example, when interviewing for a public relations position, you should highlight your communication skills. To do this, we will have a good start.

(1) Self-introduction can be decomposed and analyzed from three aspects.

① Self-awareness. If you want to hit the target, you must first recognize yourself and make clear the following three questions.

What are you doing now? What will you do in the future? What did you do?

These three questions are not from the past to the present and then to the future in chronological order, but from the present to the future and then to the past. The secret is: if you are hired, the company chooses you now, and he wants to use you in the future, based on your history and current situation.

So, first question, what do you do? What are you doing now? To answer this question, the most important point is: you are yourself, not others. Unless you distinguish yourself from others and emphasize differences on a similar basis, you won't stand out among many job seekers. For the first question, the deeper the self-reflection, the more successful the self-evaluation.

Then, start to answer the second question: what will you do in the future? If you apply for an important job, the examiner must be very concerned about your self-design for the future. Your answer should be specific, reasonable and in line with your current situation.

Then, go on to answer the last question: "What did you do in the past?" Your past will of course be reflected in your resume. When you answer this question in the interview, you must be clear: don't repeat the past that has nothing to do with your future. To do this, we must be loyal to the facts and ourselves. The easiest way is to find the contact point between the past and the future, collect the past data, and then arrange them in order of priority.

In this way, taking the present as the starting point, the future as the goal and the past as the proof, the most important thing is to deepen our self-analysis and understanding. Make the internal contact points of these three questions reflected in the overall content of self-introduction, and your image will be vivid.

2 vote for what you want. After knowing your own advantages, you can begin to prepare the contents of self-introduction, including working mode, advantages, skills, outstanding achievements, professional knowledge, academic background and so on.

There are too many things to introduce, but only one minute, it is better to choose the content related to the company. If it is a computer software company, it should talk about some computer software topics; If it's a financial company, you can talk to him about money. In short, it's to your liking.

But one thing must be remembered: no matter where the topic goes, you should highlight your contribution to the company, such as increasing turnover, saving costs and opening up new markets.

③ Arrangement order. The order of content is very important. Whether you can catch the audience's attention depends entirely on the arrangement of the event. So the first thing you want him to remember most is the thing you want him to remember most. And these things are generally your most proud works. At the same time, you can also present some related works or records to increase your impression.

(2) self-introduction taboo

This paper focuses on some language styles or styles that job seekers should not use when introducing themselves for reference.

I'd rather talk to myself than let others talk. Some job seekers rush to say the next sentence as soon as the last sentence is finished, inserting meaningless conjunctions such as "so" and "etc." in the topic connection part, which makes their language "shell" very tight, and it is difficult for the examiner to interrupt and make an appropriate response. For example, "that's what I want to say … so … in other words …"

② Repeated addition of language. When a job seeker repeats a sentence repeatedly or often supplements the previous words, it will make the examiner's thinking jump too nervous and make people fidgety.

③ The two extremes of certainty. Semantic certainty should be timely. Some job seekers form a language habit and often use absolutely certain or uncertain words. For example, some job seekers always say: "Sure …" "Absolutely …" and "Of course …"; It's just that some job seekers always talk about "possible", "possible", "probably", "almost" and "not bad". Both situations should be avoided.

(4) The language is dull, and certain sentence patterns or words are repeatedly used. If the job seeker answers every question like a primary school student: "Because …………………", then even if the content is wonderful, it will bore the examiner. Job seekers should change sentence patterns as much as possible and use synonyms or synonyms. For example, "because" can be used in different places: "so", "because", "for this", "because …" and so on.

⑤ Don't expand the scope of reference casually. Some job seekers often use words like "as we all know …" and "as we all know …". It seems that more people should join the interview examination room. This kind of talk easily causes the examiner's rebellious psychology: "I don't know ..."

⑥ Remove the mantra and piecemeal actions. A person's face may grow a few moles or "acne", which we are generally very sensitive to and will try our best to remove. A person's "speech image" may also have some "spots", such as repeatedly using the mantra of "na, na, na, er", and some actions such as raising eyebrows, crooked mouth, scratching head and picking nose. We should also get rid of these boring things.

7 words and deeds are different. Lying will always attract others' disgust. There is such an intriguing thing:

Xiao Hu, a graduate with excellent academic performance, has been rushing for the way out after graduation since years ago. The general manager of a foreign-funded enterprise made an appointment to interview him. That day, because I played too late the night before, I overslept in the morning and was 20 minutes late, so I just made up an excuse to say that the bus was stuck in traffic. The interview process was very smooth, and both professional knowledge and bold ideas on quality management won the general manager's nod. Xiao Hu was quite proud when he left.

The next day, Xiao Hu received a phone call from a foreign-funded enterprise and informed him, "I'm really sorry, but we won't consider your job application for the time being." I am really sorry. " After many inquiries, he knew that the general manager's evaluation of him was like this: "unpunctual and dishonest." What is dishonesty? Xiao Hu knows clearly, of course. It turned out that he went to the interview by bike that day. He thought that no one would notice that his bike was parked outside the company, but it happened that his boss saw it in the office building.

Remember: absolutely respect every question raised by the examiner when you introduce yourself and answer it sincerely. And this question is a good opportunity for you to "sell yourself". If this question is answered correctly, it will leave a deep impression on the other party, and maybe it will be invincible in the next time.

As far as its length is concerned, the self-introduction should not exceed 3 minutes. Therefore, prepare for emptiness in advance (in fact, it is basically the content in your resume), and the length of the prepared text should not exceed 800 words.
