Make an impact in the first 2 minutes of an interview

Mastering your self introduction will give you the highest ROI...

It’s also the question you can be 100% sure the interviewer will ask!

Make an strong first impression with this 3-part structure:

1. Who you are: Your job title, years of experience and field/industry
   "I’m a software engineer with over five years of experience in developing cloud-based applications."

2. What you’ve done: Highlight your key achievements or skills
   "I recently led a team to redesign our company’s customer portal, which resulted in a X% increase in user engagement.”

3. Why you’re interested: Explain your motivation for applying to THIS position
   “I’ve been looking for a role where I can take more ownership, and this position really stood out.”

BONUS TIPS

5 most common self-introduction mistakes

These are the most common mistakes we see from candidates:

• Too long: Your pitch should be 1-3 minutes. Anything over this, interviewers will start tuning out.

• Long list of responsibilities without impact: Choose 1-2 achievements and focus on what changed because of them (e.g. "I wrote automated tests which halved QA time.")

• Getting lost in technical details: Keep your tech stack high-level - save the deep dive for technical questions

• Wrong verb tense: Using incorrect tenses gives unclear or inaccurate timelines (past roles = past tense, current role = present tense)

• No unique selling point: To stand out in this competitive job market, highlight what makes you different in the first 2 minutes
