How to give
Self Introduction
in English

If we have to give a Self Introduction then it is very simple that we have to say something about ourselves, but to whom are we giving our Self Introduction? This is very crucial to understand because depending on the listener we have to present our Self Introduction. Here to be discussed in little brief, we have to understand that there are two types of Self Introduction.



They are the following:-
Informal Introduction & Formal Introduction


Let us know about the Informal Introduction before discussing the Formal Introduction. When we speak to our friends, relatives and other nonofficial persons then these types of conversations are called Informal or Unofficial conversion because there is no time bound to say something to others about ourselves. We can continue to speak to other people to get more and more acquaintances as long as we wish to continue until we feel bored with the other person.



Now let us talk about the Formal Introduction. It is just not like how we present our Informal Introduction. Here we speak to official persons, that is why Formal Communication is also known as Official Communication. When we present our Introduction to a business client that is known as Formal Introduction and when we go for the Interview before the Interviewer and we present our introduction that is also Formal introduction. Here in Formal introduction we must not present a long Self Introduction to the listeners because the persons, to whom we are speaking, do not have enough time to listen to a single person. So during the Formal Introduction we have to be very specific about our details while speaking to someone. In Formal introduction we have to give an impactful Introduction where we have to say our most important qualities in a few sentences along with our brief details.



Before learning the Formal Introduction, we have to learn Informal Introduction because Informal Introduction improves our speaking ability, it helps us to speak longer as there is no time limit and content restriction in this type of Instruction. It includes Name, Address, Education, Family Background, Hobby, Emotional Attachment, Goal of Life and it may include other information.



Here are some Demo of Informal Introductions:-

The above example of the Self Introduction can only be considered as the Informal Introduction but not as the Formal Introduction because this Introduction has been presented in detail about your family members and relation with your family members and Educational Qualification with other irrelevant details. This candidate is an experienced one but her field of expertise has not been focused on. The Interviewer does not have enough time to listen to your family details and those information which are printed in your resume because they have read your resume long before you entered the Interview room.




Now, let us discuss the formal or Official Introduction. We have already discussed earlier that Official Introductions are brief and specific and it depends, with whom you are speaking to and for what we are speaking to. Generally we present the Formal Introduction in the Interview before the Interviewer. The Formal Self Introduction can be further subdivided into two categories, they are as follows:-

The Introduction for the Fresher Candidate and that of the Experienced Candidate.



The Self Introduction for both the candidates must not be the same because the Fresher candidate does not have any working experience but the experienced candidate has the working experience. Therefore the experienced candidate needs to tell about the experiences and challenges; those are being overcome during the working period.

Note:- One thing is to remember that neither the experienced candidate nor the fresher candidate should present the introduction in the same way as it is written in the resume because the Interviewer has gone through those resumes long before the candidates enter the Interview panel. While speaking to the Interviewer you must not present your introduction like a robot. Do not memorise the Introduction as the script, rather understand the way of presentation and say it yourself by your own words and put a balanced expression to it.
