自我介绍tips
ING, dow
You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on. Guess what their first question is? "Tell me about yourself."
Do you "wing it" and actually tell all manner of things about yourself? Will you spend the next 5 minutes rambling on about what an easy-going, loyal, dedicated, hard working employee you've been? If this is the case, you stand a good chance of having bored your interviewer to death thus creating a negative first impression.
Because it's such a common interview question, it's strange that more candidates don't spend the time to prepare for exactly how to answer it. Perhaps because the question seems so disarming and informal, we drop our guard and shift into ramble mode. Resist all temptation to do so.
Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from your competitors.
Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Give them "your synopsis about you" answer, specifically your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct, one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit that a company will derive from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling Proposition: "I'm a seasoned Retail Manager strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over $2.3Million for (employer's name) during the past 11 years."
What a difference you've made with this statement. Your interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you her full attention. At this point, you might add the following sentence: "I'd like to discuss how I might be able to do something like that for you." The ball is now back in her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion and not an interrogation process.
Be Specific
The key is that you must lead with your strongest benefit to the employer. Be specific and don't wander about with some laundry list of skills or talents. Be sure to put a monetary value on your work if at all possible and be ready with details when you're called upon. Give an estimated value to the $$ you've either helped to make or save for your employer.
Be Prepared
When you walk into an interview, remember to always expect the "tell me about yourself" question. Prepare ahead of time by developing your own personal branding statement that clearly tells who you are, your major strength and the clear benefit that your employer received. The advantages of this approach are that you'll quickly gain their attention and interest them in knowing more. You'll separate yourself from your competitors. You'll also have a higher chance of being positively remembered and hired.
 
 
 
1.     know yourself
To achieve a nice shot in the game, knowing yourself becomes a necessity. You need to clarify the questions of what you did, do, and will do.
You don’t answer these questions in time sequence; instead, bring up the present first, then the future, then the past. The very secret lies in the fact that if the employer decides to hire you, who he picks is the one you are at the moment, while who he expects is the one you’re going to be , which is rooted in what you were and what you are.
Therefore, as to the first question of what you do NOW, the pivotal point is: You are who you are, not somebody else. Unless you distinguish yourself from others and lay stress not merely on the common qualities but the differences, it is unlikely for you to stand out among tons of applicants. So in answer to the question: the deeper your introspection goes, the more successful your introduction will be.
Here comes the second question: what you’re GOING TO do? If the post you’re applying for is of great significance, your plan for the future will be one of your employers’ concerns. Answer with details, reasons, consistence, and especially, your own touch.
Now the third: What DID you do? Of course you have written those on your CV. But when being asked the question again in an interview, remember not to reveal the parts in the past which are irrelevant to your future. Provided that you have swerved your career 180° in the midway, do take the efforts to describe your perseverance and the coherence of your career objectives. To reach this point while being faithful to yourself and the facts, here’s the easiest approach: find the connection between your history and your future, work on your files in the past and list them by importance in accordance with your goals.
Take the present as the threshold, the future as the targets, and the past as the supports. The crucial point of this approach is to deepen your analysis and understanding of yourself. Well, you may not get the chance or the need to recite what you have written on your CV, yet the interrelation of these questions will show itself in the aura of your entire presentation, and enable the one in you to luster.
2.     Cater to their tastes
Now that you’ve know your strengths, it is time to prepare the materials for your self-introduction: working style, strong points, skills, accomplishments, expertise, educational backgrounds, etc.
Though the long list, your time is limited down to 1 min. So everything should be related to the company. If it is a PC corporation, relate computers; if this case is about a financial company, refer to money. Anyway, do cater to their likes.
Mind you: no matter what you touch upon, emphasize the contributions you can make to your future company, such as boosting the trading volume, cutting the cost, developing new markets and what not.
3.     List them in sequence
The order of your presentation matters a lot, too. Whether you can hold your audience is determined by the sequence of your items. So you might cap the list with the item which you want to etch to his memory most——usually the ones you are satisfied with. Meanwhile, polish up your performance by presenting some of your works or records.
