thinks the speaker violated the rules.

Self-introduction during an interview is a crucial one in any networking situation. It is
both a personal and professional communication skill that is needed in your everyday
life. Think about how you can use this short period of time to not only introduce
yourself but also convey something about who you are and what you do.

When you introduce yourself, it is not for anyone else's benefit but YOURS! In
brief, self-introduction is marketing your skills. First impressions count a great deal in
an interview.

A job interview is a tough competition with one or a few winners. And the
manner in which you introduce yourself in an interview will be remembered so much so
that it might be the deal breaker. Self introductions are a natural oral form that help to
assess the workers’ confidence, vocabulary, grammar and attitude, and also help the
employers get to know them. Here are some tips for introducing yourself. Prepare your
answer as per THE USUAL PROCEDURE –
1. Your name (spell out your name clearly) and place (where you are living)
2. Your current educational status (PG / UG with the name of the institution and
percentage you have scored)
3. Your Plus Two and Tenth (place where you studied) with percentage
4. Your co-curricular activities (related to your Subject)
5. Your extra-curricular activities (apart from regular class hours)
6. Awards / trophies / distinctions won by you for academic excellence if any
7. Reasons for choosing the discipline in your education
8. Your interests and hobbies
9. Family particulars (Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, Spouse, Children)
10. Employment history and reasons for leaving each employment.
11. Achievements in each employment.
12. Reason for quitting employment now.
13. The languages you know (speak, read and write)
Note: Answer 9 only if asked (Details of family). If you are asked to tell them about
your family, then say about your family members. Otherwise, there is no need.
-Answer 10 to 12, only if you have previous working experience.
