Hello there, my name is Richard McMunn from the interview training company, PassMyInterview.com.
And in this tutorial, I am going to teach you how to answer the very first interview
question, INTRODUCE YOURSELF? It does not matter which job you are being interviewed
for with any organization from across the world, they are going to say to you at the
start of your interview… Introduce yourself? And it's important that we give them a positive
answer that demonstrates the VALUE you can bring to their organization, and also why
they should hire you above everybody else. I'm going to cover 4 things during this tutorial
to help you pass your interview. Here they are. I'm going to tell you how to create an
answer to the INTRODUCE YOURSELF interview question that immediately shows you are the
person they should hire. I will also tell you what NOT TO SAY when answering this very
first interview question. I will tell you 4 SIMPLE THINGS that you must include in your
answer, and they are brilliant as well. And finally, I will then give you TWO GREAT ANSWERS
to the Introduce Yourself interview question to help you pass your interview. So, there’s
FOUR REASONS why you should stick around and watch this tutorial from beginning to end.
Now, just very quickly, before I get into the training. A very warm welcome to this
interview presentation tutorial. My name is Richard McMunn. That is me there in the center
of the screen. I am a former Fire Officer, and since then, I've been helping people like
you to pass their interviews. I always do that by giving you TOP-SCORING ANSWERS you
can't find it anywhere else. On that basis, please make sure you SUBSCRIBE to the channel

therefore, spend more time creating it for you! Let's get into the training. Those 4
things that you must include in your answer to the INTRODUCE YOURSELF interview question,
here they are. The first one is you need to tell them the TYPE OF PERSON you are. You
start off and you say… “I am professional, I am conscientious and I am hardworking.”
The next thing you include in your answer is THE EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE that you can bring
to their organization. The third thing you include is you give them ONE EXAMPLE of where
you have achieved something of significance in a previous situation or job role. And then
finally, number four, you tell them WHY THEY SHOULD HIRE YOU. So, if you follow this format,
those four things, you will give them a brilliant answer to that first interview question, Introduce
Yourself? Let's now take a look at TWO BRILLIANT ANSWERS to help you, using that format. Here
we go. “I am a hard-working, professional, conscientious and ambitious team worker who
understands how my performance at work can have a positive impact on your business. Over
the years, I have built up lots of experience in customer-facing roles where there is a
need to provide outstanding service whilst also encouraging repeat business. For example,
in my last role, customers regularly left positive reviews online after I had finished
helping them with their orders. If you hire me in this role, not only will I learn the
job quickly so I can start making a positive difference to the team, but I will always
carry on learning and improving so I can continue to excel within the position.” You see!
That is a brilliant answer to the INTRODUCE YOURSELF interview question, and all I've
done is followed that format. I tell them the TYPE OF PERSON I am. I give them some
EXPERIENCE that I have. I gave ONE EXAMPLE, and then I finish off and tell them WHY THEY
SHOULD HIRE ME. So, make sure you follow that format. I still have one more answer to give
you, a brilliant answer, but let me quickly tell you WHAT NOT TO SAY; what not to include
in the introduce yourself interview question. And that is don't talk about what you get
up to outside of work. They are not interested. If they are interested, they will ask you.
A lot of people sit there when they are responding to the introduce yourself interview question
and they say… “My name is Richard. This is what I get up to outside of work. I'm a
family person. I keep myself fit.” They're not interested! Talk about the work skills
and experience you have. Let's take a look at another answer; a brilliant answer to introduce
yourself. Here we go. “I am the type of person who enjoys working in a pressurized
environment where everybody is working towards the same goal. I am naturally positive, enthusiastic
and ambitious and I want to continually improve and develop whilst helping my team to achieve
its goals. The experience I have gained over the years means I am a great problem solver,
an outstanding communicator and also someone who can be relied upon to complete tasks to
a very high standard. For example, in my last job my manager often used me to complete tough
and challenging projects, simply because he knew not only would the projects be completed
on time, but they would also be done to right standard, and also error-free. If you hire
me in this role, I feel you will not only be impressed with my strong work values and
ethics, but you will also see quickly a positive return on your investment.” That's another
brilliant answer to the INTRODUCE YOURSELF interview question! Now, of course, you are
going to be asked additional interview questions after that. So how do you answer those? Well,
