How can graduates "show off" themselves in such a short time? What preparations should be made? What are the issues worthy of attention? We interviewed some examples specially, hoping to give you some employment guidance.
Case 1: How to Grasp Time
Xiao Liu, a graduate student, is very talkative and eloquent. He thinks that introducing himself is a piece of cake, so he is never prepared to see what others say. His job hunting goal is real estate planning. Once, he applied for a job in a large local real estate company. When introducing himself, he talked about the direction of the real estate industry. The interviewer had to withdraw from the topic because it was too far away. Self-introduction can only "give up halfway"
Tip 1: Tell one thing a minute.
The time for self-introduction is generally 3 minutes. In terms of time allocation, the first minute can talk about personal basic information such as academic qualifications, and the second minute can talk about work experience and relevant social practice of recent graduates. In the third minute, you can talk about the ideal of this position and your views on the industry. If self-introduction is required to be completed within 1 minute, then self-introduction should be focused and not as good as others.
In practice, some applicants do not understand the importance of self-introduction. They just briefly introduce their names and identities, and then add some information about their education and work experience. They finish introducing themselves in about half a minute, then look at the examiner and wait for the following questions. This is inappropriate and wastes a valuable opportunity to recommend yourself to the interviewer. Others try to compress all their experiences in these few minutes, which is also unwise. The first thing to consider is to arrange the time of self-introduction reasonably and highlight the key points.
Case 2: Don't be too artificial.
Xiaofang went to apply for a job in a southern media company. The interview was held in a big office, with five people as a group, and the topic was discussed freely. The interviewer asked each candidate to introduce himself first, and Xiao Fang was the second. Different from the sentence-by-sentence introduction of the previous candidates, she made preparations in advance, wrote a paragraph about what she had done during her four years in college, and made some changes, paying attention to rhyme, which sounded a little rhyming. Xiao Fang's introduction is very smooth, but the fly in the ointment is the feeling of reciting.
Tip 2: Don't use the tone of "reciting".
Human resources experts point out that self-introduction can be prepared in advance, or you can find some friends to practice in advance, but self-introduction should avoid the rigor and restraint of written language and be organized with flexible spoken language. Don't introduce yourself by reciting and reading aloud. In that case, it will be unbearable for the interviewer. Self-introduction should also pay attention to the voice line, and try to make the tone sound smooth, natural and confident.
Case 3: How to talk about grades
Xiao Wang went to a TV program production agency to apply for copywriting. During the interview, the other party let him talk about the relevant practical experience first. Although Xiao Wang is majoring in news communication, he prefers paper media and has little practice in TV program production. What shall we do? Xiao Wang had to talk a lot about some campus activities he usually participated in. It sounded rich, but it had almost nothing to do with TV.
Tip 3: only talk about the advantages related to the position
When introducing yourself, you should make your own achievements, which must be related to the business nature of the company you are applying for. In the interview, you should not only tell the examiner how excellent you are, but also tell the examiner how suitable you are for the job. You have to give up those things that have nothing to do with the interview, even the advantages and strengths that you are proud of.
When introducing grades, the order of speaking is also extremely important. You should put what you want the interviewer to know most first. Such things are often your favorite works and can also impress the interviewer.
Case 4: Use a little "cleverness"
A Feng attended a campus job fair of a large state-owned enterprise last year. That day was held in a big stadium, and the queue was at the exit. Each applicant has only a few minutes to talk to the interviewer. How can he win the favor of the interviewer in such a short time and enter the next round? A Feng gave up the routine introduction, but focused on introducing a project he had completed to the interviewer. He also quoted the tutor's evaluation as evidence. With a little skill, A Feng successfully passed this audition-like interview.
Tip 4: Take telling the truth as the premise.
When introducing yourself, you should highlight your personal strengths and specialties. You can use some tricks, such as introducing what projects you have done to verify your ability, or quoting other people's comments, such as those of teachers and friends, to support your description. But no matter what tricks are used, we should stick to the facts and use less function words and exclamations. Blow your own horn is usually hard to escape the interviewer's eyes. As for weaknesses, you should be calm, optimistic and confident.
Case 5: How to get rid of stage fright
A Hong graduated from a university in the central city and went south to Guangdong with a vision. Because he is a junior college student, in the talent market of graduate students, Ah Hong's self-confidence is a little insufficient. Facing the interviewer, he often shows stage fright, sometimes he is nervous and speaks unnaturally. He also knows that this situation is not conducive to the interview, but he can't find a way to control himself.
Tip 5: Use the "threesome principle" in conversation.
Human resources experts pointed out that when introducing yourself, we should remember the "three principles": self-confidence, individuality and pertinence. Answer calmly, highlight your personality, emphasize your strengths and abilities, and have a pertinent tone. Don't exaggerate
Adjust your mood when introducing yourself, and be expressionless and outspoken when introducing the basic situation; When it comes to advantages, I am very happy and excited; When it comes to shortcomings, you are listless and depressed, which is an immature performance. For the expression, I suggest that Hong can practice it with friends, or practice it several times in front of the mirror before going to the interview.
