Self-introduction # 1: “… I worked as an HR assistant in my previous company, mainly working on employee relations. When the recruitment task was heavy, I also assisted in some recruitment work, such as interview, recording the interview process and summarizing relevant data.
Self-introduction # 2: “… I worked as an HR assistant in my previous company, mainly in employee relations, but not in recruitment. When the recruitment task was heavy, I would help my colleagues in the recruitment team…”

2. Talk about the auxiliary content:
The above content is aimed at the core content of self-introduction, but the content of self-introduction is not only these, but also need to have some other content as auxiliary, it is more natural and full, in short, a complete self-introduction to cover the following content:
Self basic information;
Previous work experience and position link;
Personal career development plan;
Personal identification with the company;
As for personal interests, hobbies and so on, can be briefly mentioned.
The above five simple parts, 2, 3, 4 mainly, before and after the two parts are divided into auxiliary, plus some simple discourse.
3. There are a few misunderstandings that need to be avoided:
Self-introduction is not a test of recitation ability, do not be the same. Some people prepare a set of speech, back thoroughly familiar, see everyone is this set, this is not safe, to put their own situation with the enterprise position to do links, so just more attractive to the interviewer;
Do self introduction time jam, how to do? Don’t be nervous, just smile calmly and say, “SORRY, I’m a little nervous,” and move on.
Introduce yourself by looking directly at the table or ceiling and not making eye contact with the interviewer. If you have multiple interviewers, don’t just stare at one person, scan them all.
When introducing yourself, don’t make small gestures, be generous, don’t shake your legs, snap your fingers, etc.
Be consistent with your resume and avoid information asymmetry.
Give a template simply and rudely
Do not give the template of dry goods are fake dry goods, the above said so much, to a model for reference only:
“Dear interviewer, IT is my great honor to apply for the ** position in your company. Now I would like to briefly introduce my personal information. The basic information is all in the resume, so I won’t repeat it.
First of all, I would like to introduce my previous work experience… (Pick something that links to the job you’re applying for, and don’t leave it out if there’s a job honor)…
I left my last company because… Consider (arguing your reasons for leaving, as far as possible from a career perspective)…
I have paid attention to the recruitment information of your company through channels, which is relatively consistent with my future career development. Moreover, your company’s business (or corporate strength, industry reputation, corporate culture, etc.) is very attractive to me, and I am eager to enter your company to develop…
My personal basic information is (education, marriage and children, residence, family simple situation), in my spare time, I will generally do some of the best things (meaningful)……
Perhaps among all the candidates, I am not the best, but if your company can give me this job opportunity, I have the confidence, also have the determination to do the job, the above is my personal basic situation, hope your interview today have a good performance, the future had the privilege of working with you all the interviewer, I wish you all a nice day.”
