Speaker A
Okay, let's get straight into the tutorial.
Speaker A
And I will teach you
Speaker A
how to introduce yourself during a job interview.
Speaker A
So within this presentation,
Speaker A
I am going to cover three things.
Speaker A
First of all,
Speaker A
I will give you some essential tips for getting your job interview off to a flying start.
Speaker A
I will then tell you the four simple things you must include within your job interview introduction.
Speaker A
And I will then give you an example scripted interview introduction
Speaker A
that you can use at the start of your interview.
Speaker A
Essential tip number one for getting your interview off to a flying start
Speaker A
is to focus on creating a positive first impression.
Speaker A
And you can do that by arriving at the interview venue
Speaker A
20 minutes before the interview starts.
Speaker A
This shows that you are punctual
Speaker A
and you are organized.
Speaker A
Now, when you arrive at the interview venue,
Speaker A
make sure you read your job interview introduction,
Speaker A
which I will give to you in a second,
Speaker A
and also reread the job description.
Speaker A
Because by reading these important documents,
Speaker A
it gets you relaxed and composed,
Speaker A
and it makes sure that you are prepared for what's to come during your interview.
Speaker A
Essential tip number two for getting your interview off to a flying start
Speaker A
is to make sure that you dress professionally for your interview.
Speaker A
How you dress says a lot about your intentions for this job.
Speaker A
And if you haven't dressed professionally,
Speaker A
what does it say to the interviewer?
Speaker A
Well, it tells the interviewer that you don't care
Speaker A
and you can't be bothered.
Speaker A
And therefore,
Speaker A
why should they hire you?
Speaker A
So make sure you dress professionally for your interview,
Speaker A
because it says an awful lot about your intentions for this role.
Speaker A
An essential tip number three is to make sure that throughout the interview,
Speaker A
you have good posture, you smile, and you demonstrate really good manners.
Speaker A
This is important.
Speaker A
And how can you demonstrate good manners during your interview?
Speaker A
Well, right at the very start, when you first meet the interviewer,
Speaker A
say this:
Speaker A
"Hi, my name is Richard, and I am here today for the interview.
Speaker A
Thank you very much."
Speaker A
So just by saying that demonstrates really good manners.
Speaker A
And don't forget, do not sit down in the interview chair
Speaker A
until invited to do so.
Speaker A
So once you're sat down in the interview chair,
Speaker A
the interviewer is going to say something like,
Speaker A
Welcome to the interview, can you start off by introducing yourself?
Speaker A
Or they might say, tell me about yourself.
Speaker A
Now, whenever you introduce yourself during an interview,
Speaker A
it's really important that you include the following four things.
Speaker A
Please make sure you take notes.
Speaker A
Number one,
Speaker A
talk about the skills and qualities you have that are a match for the role you are applying for.
Speaker A
Number two,
Speaker A
talk about any experience or qualifications you possess that are relevant to the position.
Speaker A
Number three,
Speaker A
talk about any significant achievements you have gained in your work life or personal life so far.
Speaker A
And then finally, number four,
Speaker A
talk about the type of person you are and what you are going to do in the role if they hire you.
Speaker A
So you should include those four things when introducing yourself during a job interview.
Speaker A
And right now, I am going to give you a brilliant job interview introduction script
Speaker A
that you can use right at the start of your interview.
Speaker A
So when the interviewer says to you,
Speaker A
introduce yourself.
Speaker A
Here's a brilliant script that you can use.
Speaker A
Here we go.
Speaker A
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this position today.
Speaker A
Having studied the job description, I am confident I have the skills, the qualities, and the qualifications needed to excel in the role.
Speaker A
I am a fast learner; I possess excellent problem-solving capabilities,
Speaker A
and I can manage a significant workload.
Speaker A
I have an impressive track record of achievement.
Speaker A
For example, in my previous role, I was praised by my supervisor for helping the company find ways to increase sales by improving customer service standards.
Speaker A
The type of person I am means I always act as a positive role model for the company, and I will make sure I take responsibility for my ongoing professional development.
Speaker A
If you hire me in this position, I believe you will quickly see a positive return on your investment.
Speaker A
