The skill of effective self-presentation during interviews is the key to success in a professional career.
In today’s world, where the competition in the job market is significant, the ability to clearly and convincingly present yourself to employers is becoming an essential skill for every job seeker.

Olga Mitkina (COO Deputy), Speroteck, knows exactly how to overcome fear of an interview and stand out among other candidates.

“Most often, a job interview begins with the question ‘Please tell me about yourself.’ On the surface, it seems simple—after all, you possess a strong background and extensive experience, making you an ideal fit for the position. However, the true challenge lies in effectively conveying this during your self-presentation to capture the interviewer’s interest and pave the way for deeper communication.

When asked to tell about yourself during a job interview, your self-presentation speech should focus on highlighting relevant aspects of your professional background, skills, experiences, and accomplishments.

Remember to keep your self-presentation speech concise, focused, and tailored to the specific job and company you’re interviewing for. Practice beforehand to ensure you deliver it confidently and effectively during the interview.

So, what self-presentation must include:

• Professional Background: Provide a concise overview of your professional background, including any relevant certifications, and the projects or roles you’ve worked in.
• Key Skills and Strengths: Highlight your key skills and strengths that are relevant to the job you’re interviewing for. Focus on qualities that set you apart and make you a strong candidate.
• Relevant Experience: Share a few notable experiences or projects that demonstrate your abilities and achievements. Use specific examples to showcase your skills in action.
• Highlight Your Achievements: Provide specific examples of your accomplishments that demonstrate your capabilities and how you can add value to the company.
• Alignment with the Role: Explain why you’re interested in the position and how your background aligns with the company’s needs and goals. Emphasize what you can bring to the role and how you can contribute to the team’s success.

Some more additional important things you must pay attention on:

• Practice Your Introduction: Prepare a concise and engaging introduction that highlights your relevant skills, experiences, and what you can bring to the role.
• Show Enthusiasm: Express genuine interest in the position and company. Smile, make eye contact, and use positive body language throughout the interview.
• Be Prepared to Discuss Your Resume: Be ready to elaborate on the experiences and skills listed on your resume. Prepare examples to illustrate your abilities and how they relate to the job.
• Be Authentic: Be yourself and let your personality shine through. Authenticity can make a lasting impression and help you connect with the interviewer.
• Practice Active Listening: Pay close attention to the interviewer’s questions and respond thoughtfully. Ask for clarification if needed and show that you understand their concerns.

NDA: Do not forget about confidentiality with previous projects and clients’ details. Tell freely about your experience but do not touch confidential information.”
