yourself in daily life,with introducing, we can know each other. The
purpose of self introduction is to make everyone present feel a bit more at
ease and familiar with the people around them. So make the most of your
speech by holding on to important facts. Introducing yourself is more than

you. Introducing yourself to strangers can be complicated because what
you say depends on the context, the situation (introduce yourself in a job
interview, introduce yourself in an seminar or give yourself an

about the same age with you. Informal introduction used in a non formal

3. Closing, is a cover sentence or often called leave taking.Example
in sentence: I think that's enough. Thanks for your time and your
attention. It's nice to see you.

How to giving introduce :

1. Put on a smile and greeting

For starters, we need to smile and greet all participants. We have to smile
even if we feel nervous from the inside. The best way to cover up your
nervousness is with a smile. You don't need to show all your teeth or look
very happy. Maintaining a positive facial expression will increase self-
confidence. Because a smiley face brings a good start to conversation.
While the greeting is important to start a discussion by saying "Hello",
"Good Morning" or other greetings.

2. Being confident

Confidence is very important for impressive introductions. Whether you

feel nervous about meeting new people or you just believe in your
abilities, you can make a number of tricks that not only make you look
more confident, but also make you feel it. To appear confident maintain
eye contact with the audience, use gestures to emphasize points, move
around the stage, match facial expressions to what you say, reduce
nervous habits, breathe slowly and regularly, use your voice properly.
There are simple ways to increase your confidence so that you can truly
amaze your audience and strengthen your role as speaker.

a. Preparation and organization

Be prepared and organised for your presentation because this increases

your control and less things can go wrong. For example : ensure you print
any materials you need at least the day before, prepare for technical
faults, arrive early for your speech.

b. Positive mental imagery

Visualize sending your presentation with confidence and success because

this will strengthen your confidence. Imagine being there and using all
your senses to shape the image. Replace negative images with a more
realistic image.

c. Managing nerves

Plan for managing your nerves by: avoid consuming too much caffeine
before because this is a stimulant and can make you feel more nervous
and trembling, if we have time, do some exercise beforehand. Exercising
releases endorphins which reduce stress levels and make you feel better,
recognition that it is impossible for the audience to know that you feel
nervous and

catch your breath.

d. Practice
If you are very familiar with the content of your presentation, your
audience will consider you confident.

3. Keep it clear and precise:

Every self-introduction must be clear and precise. All things discussed in

terms of self-identification of a candidate must be appreciated. Therefore,
candidates must avoid mentioning unnecessary things when they convey
their self-introduction to other participants.

4. Maintain good eye contact:

It is important for everyone, to learn how to behave and present

themselves during self introduction. And for that reason, the first and
foremost thing they have to learn is, how to make good eye contact.
Sometimes because nervous candidates avoid eye contact with their
participants. No matter how nervous you are in an interview, always try
and make good eye contact.

How to introduce yourself in many situation :

Not every situation requires the same approach when you're meeting
someone for the first time. While you'll keep certain elements the same,
you'll want to tweak a few things for each interaction to ensure you make
the best possible impression. Below, you'll find four common scenarios
and exactly how you can be on top of your game in each.
1. In an interview:
For an in-person interview, follow these three steps.
a) Stay off your phone while you wait in the lobby or interview room.
b) Give a firm, confident handshake and smile as you say, "Thank you for
meeting with me today," or a simple, "Hi, [insert name], I'm [insert
name]. Pleasure to meet you".
c) Oftentimes your interviewer will start off by saying, "Tell me about
yourself" This is where your prepared talking points come in handy.The
ideal mix is to give a bit of your background and then bring things to the
present. For example: "My passion is creating amazing customer
interfaces. I have eight years of graphic design experience, including time
spent at (X company) and (X company). I transitioned to UX/UI when I
realized how satisfying it is to (explain why you love your current career).
While I've enjoyed my time at (your current company), I'm looking for
opportunities to (insert skill or career goal — if you can tie this to
something from the company's mission statement or job posting, do so).
2. Before a presentation :
Whether you know all your colleagues or not, talking a little bit about
your role in the company before you start a presentation helps provide
context for your coworkers Follow the steps outlined below to look like a
pro.
a) Introduce yourself and explain what you do for the company and why
you're presenting.
Example: Good afternoon! I'm (name), and I (describe your function in
the company). For the next (length of presentatation), I'm going to explain
(or talk to you about X topic). (This next part is optional and a best
practice if you think your presentation is comprehension and will address
most common questions). If you think of a question, please jot it down
and wait until the end to ask so we can keep the momentum going.
b) Set expectations for how long your presentation will last and whether
you'll take questions as you go along or prefer them at the end.
c) Get started.
3. At a meeting:
The steps you'll follow for introducing yourself at a meeting are very
similar to what you should do before a presentation.
a) Give your name, department, and role at the company. You may think
that everyone already knows who you are, but you never know who needs
a reminder.
Example: Good morning! I'm (name). I am the (your role/function) for
our company.
b) Provide the estimated end time for the meeting, hopeful
outcomes/decisions, and any other who, what, when, where, why
establishing details.
Example: Our hard stop is 9:30; by then, I'd like us to (insert desired
meeting end results — this is usually a decision needed by the group) and
decide on a follow up for (any other tasks).
c) Have your meeting.

c. How to write curiculum vitae for applying job

When applying for a new position, your curicuum vitae will convey an
important first impression to your potential employer. They may be faced
with hundreds of applications for one position, and you want yours to go
straight into the pile destined for interview, not the one bound for waste
paper.

Here are 10 initial rules to follow:

1. Simplicity : Don’t overcomplicate a CV with too many categories or

too much information.
2. Highlights: Make sure that your CV highlights all of your
achievements in your career and personal life to date. Think of your CV
as an opportunity to market yourself.
3. Truthful: You want to highlight your achievements, but you do not
want to sound overly boastful, and you certainly should not fabricate
information as this will become obvious to your employer at some point.
4. Unique: use a style and tone which are personal to ‘you’, but do so
subtly. Be positive, direct, and personal. Use ‘I’ statements.
5. Tailor: the content of your standard CV should be customised
according to each individual job application in line with the job
description.
6. Word Processed: complete your CV on a word processor and ensure
that as well as using a spell check, you have checked the document over
for any typing mistakes or formatting errors. Avoid poor English or slang.
7. Succinct: be concise. Employers will not be impressed by several
pages of useless information. Keep it short (ideally two, but a maximum
of three pages) but do not squash information in – keep it well spaced so
that it is easier to read. You should leave employers wanting to find out
more.
8. Chronological: put the information in reverse chronological order with
the most recent events first under each heading.
9. Review: ask the opinion of a respected colleague or manager. Get a
second pair of eyes to critically review what you have written.
10. Quality: use good quality (not coloured), A4 paper and always
choose an appropriate type font, to ensure that your CV looks as neat and
professional as possible. It should not be packed with text, but have some
white space. Bullet points are a good way of displaying text.

As well as following the above golden rules, adhere to the following

format :

1. Personal details
This section should include your name and contact information only. Do
not offer details of your date of birth, place of birth, children, health or
marital status, which could lead to discrimination.
2. Personal profile
It is up to you whether or not you want to include this section. It is
usually one sentence which provides a concise insight into who you are
and your strengths/achievements to date. Carefully consider this section.
Many end up in clichés, such as ‘I work well both individually and in a
team’, which become statements that employers just ignore. Instead, site
tangible competency-based examples of things you have done and
achieved. This will show and prove that you have the skills they are
looking for rather than just saying it.

3. Work history
Work experience starting with the most recent or most relevant. Try not to
leave any gaps; although you may not have been in paid employment, it is
likely that you were doing something at the time which you learned new
skills from. For each previous position, include the job title, organisation
worked for, dates employed, projects involved in, responsibilities,
achievements and experience gained.
4. Education
Again, start with the most recent (or most relevant) e.g. university and
then work back from there. Don’t outline in detail your GCSEs/O
levels/Highers (or equivalent exams). You can group these together, for
example, 9 GCSEs. You may wish to include membership of any
professional bodies here or in a separate section.
5. Skills
This section may come before the work history on your CV, if you believe
this is appropriate. Include languages and computing skills, noting level
of fluency and evidence of using them.
6. Hobbies/interests
Ensure that this section is kept up-to-date.
7. References
Some people wish to include two references here. Try to pick two reliable
contacts from two different sources. Include their contact details, job title
and link to you. Alternatively, many applicants omit this information, or
state that references are available on request. Make sure you ask
permission from your referees to use them as a contact.

Covering letters

Covering letters are a vital part of your CV. It is the first thing potential
employees will see, so if it is of poor quality, they can dismiss your
application before they even get to your CV. Your covering letter is where
you should make your sales pitch. It should encourage employees to read
on and persuade them that you are worth pursuing. Make sure you
address the letter to the right person. This will either be given on the job
advertisement, or you will have to do some research (e.g. looking at their
website or telephoning the organisation). It should be no longer than one
side of A4 and three to four paragraphs long. It should be written in the
style of a business letter with your address and the address of the
employee at the top. Don’t just repeat what is in your CV. You should aim
to give employees a flavour of what is on your CV, by highlighting more
your skills than your background. Ask someone to proofread the letter for
you.
