Hi there. My name is Richard McMunn from the interview training company, PassMyInterview.com.
And in this tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to introduce yourself in any job interview.
So, if you have a job interview coming up and you are struggling with what to say at
the start of the interview, stick around, because I will help you to pass your interview.
Now, to achieve the goal of teaching you how to introduce yourself in any job interview,
this is what I will cover. I will tell you the four things you should include when you
introduce yourself in any job interview. I will also tell you the exact words and phrases
you should be using during your job interview introduction. I will also then give you brilliant
example, job interview introductions that you can use at any job interview. And also,
if you are somebody who is applying for a manager role, I will give you an introduction
as well. And then I will also tell you about further training videos that you can get access
to for answering common job interview questions. There’s four reasons why I strongly recommend
you stay tuned. So, let's get started. The four things you should include when you introduce
yourself in any job interview are: Number one, the main workplace skills you have that
are a match for the role you are applying for. Number two, you should include what you
have been doing over the years to improve your qualities and your experience. Number
three, you should tell them why you want this particular job. Number four, you finish off
and tell them what you will do in the role once you start working there. Now, I'm going
to give you a number of example introductions that cover those four different areas in a
second. But here's three really important tips. When you introduce yourself in any job
interview, number one, always be positive and smile, because if you smile, then it's
attractive, it's contagious. And the interviewer will look at you in a positive light. Number
two, make sure you sit up right in the interview chair and speak with confidence. And to achieve
that goal, what you need to do is practice your introduction over and over again, because
that then sets you up for the remainder of your interview with confidence if you can
smash that job interview introduction! Let's start taking a look at those four different
areas and I'll tell you exactly what to say. Here's what to say based on those four things
that I want you to include within your introduction. Number one, the main workplace skills you
have that are a match for the role. This is what I would say. “I am a results-driven,
innovative employee who is always looking to grow and thrive within my role. I am a
strong team worker; an excellent communicator and I realize the only way your company will
succeed, is if I carry out my duties to a high standard.” That's the first thing you
should say. You would then move on to the second part, which is what you have been doing
over the years to improve your qualities and experience. Here's what I recommend you say.
“Over the last few years I have built up extensive experience in different areas. For
example, I have developed skills in customer and client service, working at pace, consistently
achieving targets and working with stakeholders and contractors to complete challenging projects.”
You would then move on to say why you want this job. Here's what I recommend you say.
“I want this job because having studied the job description, I already feel I have
the necessary skills and experience to perform to a high standard. You are also an attractive
company to work for and that means I will want to stay working here for a long period
of time.” And then finish off and tell them what you are going to do in the role once
you start working there. Here's what I recommend you say. “If you hire me, I promise you
I will get up to speed quickly in the role, I will be a supportive team worker and I will
always focus on helping you achieve your commercial and financial goals and objectives.” So
that's a brilliant introduction What we need to do now is put it altogether in in one bulk.
So, let's read it together and then I will give you two more sample introductions to
help you so you can pick and choose which one is relevant for you. Let me read that
out again. So, when they say to me, introduce yourself. This is what I would say. “I am
a results-driven, innovative employee who is always looking to grow and thrive within
my role. I am a strong team worker; an excellent communicator and I realize the only way your
company will succeed, is if I carry out my duties to a high standard. Over the last few
years I have built up extensive experience in different areas. For example, I have developed
skills in customer and client service, working at pace, consistently achieving targets and
working with stakeholders and contractors to complete challenging projects. I want this
job because having studied the job description, I already feel I have the necessary skills
and experience to perform to a high standard. You are also an attractive company to work
for and that means I will want to stay working here for a long period of time. If you hire
me, I promise you I will get up to speed quickly in the role, I will be a supportive team worker
and I will always focus on helping you achieve your commercial and financial goals and objectives.”
That's a brilliant introduction. What I like about it is it’s positive, it is loaded
with brilliant keywords and phrases that will resonate in a positive manner with the interviewer.
And that's really, really important. And you are showing there that you are committed to
their organization and what you are going to do when your you are in the role, which
is basically adding value to their organization. Now, I'm going to give you another introduction,
a different one in a second. What you can do is you can either pause the video if you
want to and write down these introductions, or in a minute, I will tell you where you
can download these introductions and my full set of 21 Interview Questions and Top-Scoring
Answers in PDF format. Let's have a look at the second introduction. “I am a happy and
positive person who enjoys working as part of a team where everyone is striving to achieve
the same goal. I am a hard-working, enthusiastic and self-motivated person who fully appreciates
your business can only be successful if people like me do their job to a high standard. I
have taken the time to read and study the job description and the person specification,
and I am entirely confident that I already have the skills and experience needed to excel
in the position. If you choose to hire me, I promise you I will not only work to the
same high standards every day I come to work, but I will be honest, I will be loyal and
I will always act as a positive role model for your company.” That's another brilliant
introduction! And you can see that if you practice these before you go to your interview,
then you will hit the ground running and the interviewer will be truly impressed with your
positivity and what you're going to do when you're in the role. Now, if you are a manager
or a team leader and you're applying for an interview, here's my suggested introduction
for you. “I am a confident, resilient and strategically-minded manager who enjoys the
challenges of meeting difficult targets whilst helping the people I am responsible for achieve
their full potential. I prefer to work in a busy, fast-paced environment where all my
skills, qualities and attributes are put to the test. Being a highly-focused manager with
a track record of achievement, I assure you everything I do will be focused on achieving
your commercial goals and financial objectives. I have researched your organization in detail,
and I believe the experience I have is a perfect match for your company culture, your values
and the mission statement. If you hire me as your manager, I will work hard to ensure
the faith you have showed by employing me, is paid back by way of impressive results
year after year.” That’s another brilliant introduction for anyone who is applying to
become a manager. Now, if you would like a copy of these introductions sent to your inbox,
