But the most important question during an interview is the self-introduction or “Tell Me About Yourself”.  It is said that The first impression is the last and this saying fits right for Self Introduction during an interview.

Interviewers ask for Self Introduction so that they can know more about you. Self Introduction for an interview is one tough job. Many applicants fail to impress the interviewer in this question. But his article will help to master the Self Introduction for Job.

What Is self Introduction?

With Self Introduction, interviewers want to know about an applicant, Where he is from, about his education, his hobbies, and his background. When you tell the interviewer about yourself you are telling him about your personality and your experiences. This way interviewers get a basic idea about the candidate.

Here are major self introduction points:

· Your Basic Information

Basic information includes Your Name, what are your hobbies, and what are your qualifications. Tell them where are you from, Where have you been living. Mention the basics about your family. Give the interviewers some personal information before telling them about your professional side. Tell the interviewers about your achievements in your college life.

· Explain your achievements

After telling them some basics about you, tell them something that only you have. Interviewers want to know why you are different from any other applicant. If you have any academic achievement, whether you have participated in your college fest, your extracurricular activities, tell them to the interviewer. This way you stand out from the other applicants.

· Mention your Purpose

This is also an important section. After briefing the interviewer about yourself, tell them what is your purpose to reach out to them, What designation you have applied for, and if you have a reference, it is the time to mention it.
