how to introduce myself during an interview?

Answer 1

Introduction is done in the beginning of the interview and NOT during it.

The interview panel knows your name so it is superfluous to start saying 'who you are' yourself. It is NOT advisable to start conversation yourself but wait for their initiation. However, when you enter the room just say Hello or Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening as the case may be.

In most cases the lead panelist would ask you to introduce yourself. (In some cases they may straight away ask you about your qualification and/or experience).Then, you can start with your name and the place you come from followed by your highest qualification with subject (major) and year of passing. Then, briefly speak of your relavent experience. Do not give unnecessary personal details unless asked for.

Remember, they already have your resume, so talking in details of your qualification and experience would only waste time and may even irritate them.

The bottom line is you should have smiling face and should speak briefly to the point.

Answer 2

Introduce Yourself Interview

Answer 3

It is proved in a study conducted with thousands of interviewers around the world that the person interviewing you decides whether to give you the job or not within the " First 4 seconds" of your presence in his room....... Shocking yet interesting!!! So my simple advice would be, stay as confident as you can and give them an impressive greeting. Why you are asked to introduce yourself is (1) to see what kind of a person you are and your approach and (2) to check whether the personal details and qualifications mentioned in your CV are true. Whatever you speak must be in conformation with what is mentioned in your CV... ( That's how they decide in 4 seconds). So give a confident , short and positive introduction which speaks about your professional qualification and competencies.... that will do.. ........ be slow and steady....... never rush.!!!

All the Best!!!!

Smile and introduce yourself Properly! Mind your body language. It speaks volumes more than what comes out of your mouth. Don't enter the room like a bull in a china shop..stop briefly assess the room and get a feel for the atmosphere. Stand politely mind your arms never cross and watch your posture..you don't want to slouch or appear arrogant so arms comfortably at your side..Don't offer a handshake just smile pleasantly and accept firm but not tight. Usually wait for the interviewer to offer you a seat...and then sit comfortably upright and avoid smirking, laughing, even if he tries to see how you will react just smile politely and nod. Most employers like to get down to business. Relax and answer questions briefly but quickly as hesitation is a bad sign. Wait to expand if asked for details. Let the interviewer do the talking. Don't use a lot of hand waving or gestures. Bad signal. When the interview is complete..again wait for a handshake. If none is given don't panic. Don't forget to thank the interviewer for his/her time. Smile and say I look forward to have the opportunity to be a part of your team!

Answer 5

Make yourself presentable..both look wise and dress-code wise. Knock the door and get in after permission and wish the interviewer (s) a good day and tell your name..and sit only after you are asked to...nothing more than that..just keep cool. Just tell frankly if you dont know the answer of any question asked and get an opportunity of being asked the next one..this is very very important..as the rule says that not everyone knows everything..simple...something which you know may not be known even to the interviewer ..so dont feel down if you tell them that you dont know the answer of a particular question. But be sure that you know the maximum in the field in which you are strong and which has been disclosed in the interview.

Answer 6

As you know first impression is the best impression. Be alert while you speak, do not stammer when you introduce yourself this make the interviewer think twice. Ask questions only when you are asked to ask. Introduce yourself very short, do not include much of your family introduction. Do not reveal you emotion, if so tell them in a way you are working to straighting up things.

any questions regarding interview, you can ask me . i am alway there.

Answer 8

First introduce your name alongwith educational qualification. Then highlight about your strengths. Talk minimum about your weakness. Then tell a short note about your family. Don't tell about your hobbies. You can tell about your area of interest. The introduction factor is nothing to know about your communications and fluency. The first question will tell whether you can be asked the next question. There should be no stammering, don't eye wander... look at the interviewer and answer.

Answer 9

Stand up straight, no hunched shoulders.

Be clean, have a shower and little aftershave or perfume but not too much. Show that you have made an effort to present yourself.

Smile.

Shakehands with a firm grip but not too firm, you don't want to break their hand.

Allow them to tell you where to go, i.e. where to sit, do not sit down until they tell you.

If you are wearing a jacket, ask them if it's OK to take it off.

If they offer you coffee, say no but a glass of water would be great. It's easier for them to get you a glass of water plus during the interview if you are hit with dry mouth the water will help.

Start the conversion by saying "Thank you for seeing me and giving me this opportunity to work with the company"

If you feel very nervous to the point where you are finding it difficult to think, tell them. Tell them that you are not used to interviews plus this position is important to you so you are feeling nervous. They should understand this and should do their best to help you relax.

Do not sit in the interview with your arms crossed. Feel free to move your hands when talking or explaining something but don't wave them all over the place.

Cross your legs and try not to move your feet. When people are nervous or when telling lies they tend to move their feet, either shuffle them or move them in circles with their heels on the ground.

Try not to move too much in the chair.

Do not talk fast.

When talking, do not look at the ceiling, nor at the floor. Look at the person in the eye, but not too long, you don't want to stare them down. Keep your eyes on their eyes and move about their face, if you know what I mean.

During the interview make sure you have some reasons why you want to work with the company, you're interested in what they do, they have great name/reputation as a good company to work with etc. You like the technology they use, if you know this. You've always had an interest in what they do, but don't go overboard on this.

Also, make sure you have some questions for them. Not too many, maybe 3 questions and if you need to ask about the salary, keep this question to the last question.

If you find that your questions are answers either before you ask, or during the interview you were able to ask the questions, make sure you tell them this at the end of the interview. If they ask, do you have any questions about us? Tell them Yes, list the questions and say but you answered these already.

Don't ask about holidays at the first interview, or when do people take lunch breaks etc.

Keep the questions to work, i.e. the technology they use, their customers, what are their expansion plans, is their room for you to prove yourself and so be in for promotion.

Finish up by saying you can call in again for another interview and feel free to ask them when they hope to make a decision about you.

The best of luck.

Answer 10

Introduce yourself as if you are the most suitable candidate for the post. Show your full confidence. Don't show yourself slightly worried. You will be able to do all this only when you are dispassionate about the outcome of the interview. So try to know the ultimate truth of this world Drama. Only this counts.
