How do you introduce yourself in an interview?
This article is more to teach you (self-introduction) on the underlying logic and method of change, I hope you can have a new understanding in the process of job hunting. Why do you need to repeat your resume when you already have it on your resume? How do you describe yourself in an interview and how do you describe yourself on a resume? Your introduction should be more colloquial than your resume and designed to lead to subsequent questions. The taboo is to directly retell the self-introduction on the resume. What's the point of introducing yourself in an interview when the interviewer is going to look at your resume when you introduce yourself? From an interviewer's perspective, the purpose of introducing yourself is simple: To get to know you quickly. Because it's faster to listen to what you say than to read a resume. The job seeker, on the other hand, should take advantage of the opportunity to introduce himself, convey more useful information, and make the following communication more favorable to you (you know, are good at or prepared for). So what should be done? Even if you think you have your resume in mind when you write it. Before the interview, also want to carry out a systematic comb again, and, own experience and the target enterprise needs to combine. 1. What have you done and what are your strengths? Review your resume based on your experience, for example, what specifically did you do in that experience? What have you achieved? What projects have you been involved in? What role did you play in the project or team? What are your contributions to the team? Combine these questions to find out what makes you tick, what makes you tick, or what defines you as a person.
