How to introduce yourself in a interview
The most important question which comes in the mind of peoples during introduction themself .
So today we will discuss some points given the great writer Napoleon Hill.
1. Education
During an interview state briefly , but definitely , what schooling you have had and in what subjects you specialized in school or collage, give the reasons for that specialization to the interviewer .
2.Experience
If you have experience in connection with positions similar to the one you seek, describe it fully , state names and addresses of former employers . be sure to bring out clearly any special experience you may have had which would equip you to fill the position you seek . but take care also not to say the contradictory statements as it can cause effect on the interview.
3. References
Practically every business firm desires to know all about the previous records , antecedents , etc. of prospective employees who seek positions of responsibility . attach to your brief photostatic copies of
letters from :
a. Former employers
b. Teachers under whom you studied
c. Prominent peoples whose judgement may be relied upon .
4. Photograph of self
Attach to your brief a recent , unmounted photography of yourself .
5. Apply for a specific position
Avoid application for a position without describing EXACTLY what particular position you seek .
Never apply for "just a position " that indicates you lack specialized qualifications .
6. State your Qualifications
For the particular position for which you apply . give full details as to the reason you believe you are qualified for the particular position you seek . this is THE APPLICATION . it will determine , more than anything else , what consideration you receive .
7. Offer to go to work on probation
In the majority of instances if you are determined to have the position for which you apply , it will be the most effective if you offer to work for a week , a month , or for a sufficient length of time to enable your prospective employer to judge your value WITHOUT PAY . this may appear to be a radical suggestion , but experience has proved that it seldom fails to win at least a trial . if you are SURE OF YOUR QUALIFICATIONS , a trial is all you need .
Incidentally , such an offer indicates that you have confidence in your ability to fill the position you seek. it is most convincing if your offer is accepted and you make good , more than likely you will be paid for your "probation" period . make clear the fact that your offer is based upon :
a. Your Confidence in your ability to fill the position .
b. Your Confidence in your prospective employer's decision to employ you after trial .
c. Your Determination to have the position you seek .
8. knowledge of your prospective interviewer's interest
Before applying for a position , do sufficient research in connecting with the interest to familiarize yourself thoroughly with that interest and indicate in brief the knowledge you have acquired in this field. this be impressive , as it will indicate that you have imagination , and a real interest in that position you want to seek.
9. Linguistics you speak
There is the great influence of the word and language you speak . the words should be clear and the language must be understood by all the peoples . so that the interviewers could connect to you .
