Three Steps to Introduce Yourself for any Interview

You can use the three-step formula below to confidently introduce yourself in any job interview.

Step 1

Greet the interviewer with a smile on your face and start introducing yourself, Use adjectives to describe your personality. Whether you are fresher or a student, a good way to start your introduction can be:

Good morning, my name is Kajal Verma. I am a hardworking engineering graduate specializing in Mechanical Engineering with an overall CGPA...

Step 2

In this step, you talk about your best work, something that you are proud of, but avoid using superlatives like "I am the best salesperson in this country," because when somebody uses superlatives, it not only shows arrogance but also says that that person is ignorant, so your next line should be a list of your accomplishments combined with proof of performance.

In case you’re a student or a "fresher" without any experience at all, don’t worry; you can talk about the training you have received and how those skills relate to the job that you are applying for.

Along with my degree, I completed AutoCAD, Python course online, and the various technologies I learned, which has helped me to develop my final year project title XYZ. During this project, I discovered that I am a team player, and so...

Step 3

In the third step, you must explain why you are fit for this position.

Before going for an interview, read the job description and job role carefully

Also, explain how your skill is useful to their requirement

Always remember you just have one minute or 92 seconds maximum to answer this question don’t bore the interviewer by telling your life story

Interview Tips

For a job seeker, the most important thing is to get a job interview. You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression, so if you go for an interview, you should be well prepared. Here are some tips to help you improve your interviewing skills:

Be Confident

Don't act as if you're desperate for this position. You should not appear desperate or insecure. Throughout the interview, it is always beneficial for you to appear cool, calm, and confident. It also shows the interviewer that you have some ability, some self-confidence, and the ability to achieve something.

Maintain good eye contact with your interviewer

Whenever you are answering don’t talk like a robot and use a single tool but use excitement to convey passion and flow down whenever you have to because it makes your story more interesting

Listen Carefully

From the start of the interview, you should pay careful attention to everything the interviewer says. If you're not paying attention, you're missing out on an opportunity to impress him because the question may already contain a hidden answer. As a result, you should work on improving your listening skills.

Ask questions to the interviewer

A good interview is a conversation, not a monologue. Let your interviewee ask questions and listen to what they say, but remember: don't talk too much or try to be too familiar. Talk professionally and try to keep your answers to the point.

Good Dressing Sense

• Dress up in formal wear.
