How to write a self-introduction:

Self-introduction for freshers can be a nerve-wracking aspect of the interview, making it


necessary to prepare in advance. Now that we have a better understanding of the
process, let us take a look at some practices that can help you draft the perfect self-
introduction.

1. Keep your answers simple, brief and concise.

2. Avoid using lengthy, complex words and phrases- keep it simple.

3. Include generic facts about yourself to make it easy to use the same draft for
more than one interview.

4. Begin with a formal greeting (Good morning, afternoon, or evening,


depending on the time)

5. Share basic information like your name and location, followed by your
college name and qualification.

6. Talk a little about your background, why you chose your field, and how it has
trained you for the job.

7. Include co-curricular activities, internships, and other such experiences


earned in college.

8. Include some aspects of your personal life- this will make it easier to break
the ice and give your self-introduction a personal touch. (Optional)

9. Include your language proficiency, certifications, or training relevant to the


job.

10. Write about your hobbies and interests with a couple of adjectives for
yourself.

Self-introduction - Rules
While there is no set format for self-introduction for freshers, it always helps to establish
some Dos and Don’ts:

1. Maintain eye contact while introducing yourself

2. Keep your answer shorter than a minute


3. Keep it brief, crisp, and interesting, Do not use slang language- keep it
formal

4. Do not memorize your answer- use your script to define talking points only.

5. Do not just summarise your resume, keep your answer original.


Self-introductions are supposed to be detailed yet brief, and that balance is hard to
strike. Make it easy by listing details that best reflect your personality, hobbies, work
ethic, and career goals.

Some things that are important to include in your self-introduction are:

1. Personal details: The best way to start off a self-introduction for freshers is
to talk about yourself. The personal details you can include in your self-
introduction are your name, city of residence, and a little bit about your
background.
2. Educational background- Since you are a fresher, you may not have much
professional experience to discuss. So, talk about your educational
background.
3. Skills and training- Including skills in self-introduction for freshers is a good
idea as it helps the recruiter gauge your strengths and reflects your self-
awareness. Since your resume also lists hard and soft skills, talk about the
skills that are not a part of your resume but define your personality.
Also, discuss any online training or certifications that make you a good fit for the job.

4. Co-curricular activities- A great way to showcase skills and talent for


freshers is through co-curricular activities. These activities may or may not
find a place in your resume but define your skills and strengths, making it a
pivotal part of self-introduction for freshers. Use this opportunity to talk
about your participation in college fests, competitions, etc.
Speak through your body language
The interview process can be stressful, but how you carry yourself under pressure can
make a huge difference.

Self-introduction for freshers is the ultimate opportunity for newbies to convey their
suitability for the job in question. To ace this part of the interview, understanding non-
verbal communication is the key.
Non-verbal communication includes your body language, expressions, gestures, and
much more. Your body language reflects your comfort, confidence, and ability to handle
stressful situations, allowing interviewers to gauge your candidature.

Here are some samples of self-introduction for freshers that can help you in your
interview preparation.

Good Morning Sir/Ma'am,

My name is Pooja Sharma, and I am from Lucknow. I have recently attained a


Bachelor's degree in mass communication from XYZ University.

Early in my school life, I recognized my interest in writing. I believe that a


pen is mightier than a sword, and that is why I pursued this field to realize
my vision of making an impact on society through my words.

During the three years of my college, I was a part of the editorial team of our
college magazine, where we covered inter-collegiate events, sports,
academic developments, etc.

I am fluent in English and Hindi and can write in both these languages. My
hobbies include reading non-fiction literature, adventure sports, and slam
poetry.

As you know now, my name is Rahul, and I am from Pune. I completed my
higher studies in Mumbai, where I pursued a B.Com degree from CDW
Institute of Arts & Commerce.

My interest lies in mathematics, and later, I found myself interested in


economics and accountancy as well, making this discipline the perfect choice
for me.

I am a bit of a bookworm, but when I am not studying, you will find me


clicking pictures of my dog, flowers, or anything in my surroundings.
Photography is my hobby, and I use my free time to capture pictures.

I was also a member of the Photography department of my college and have


captured several college events. I was also the general secretary of the
commerce department in 2019-20 and was responsible for arranging
seminars, fests, and other departmental events along with my team.

If I had to describe myself in one word, it would be dynamic as I accept


challenges with a positive spirit, and I am always eager to learn.
