How to Give a Self Introduction in One Minute?
Introducing oneself can often be tricky as well as a bit overwhelming. Therefore, it is very important that all of us have the knowledge of how to introduce ourselves.
The self-Introduction given in one minute is the ideal time period. If one exceeds this time limit then people get bored and you just keep on rambling.
The key to a proper self-introduction is giving a brief introduction about yourself. In this, you only mention your achievements, your educational background, and academic qualifications and also mention your work experience (if you have any). This is for times when you are giving an interview.
Whereas, if you are giving a self-introduction of yourself causally then you would begin by telling your name, what you do for a living, and where you live and to start a conversation you can always talk about your hobbies, likes and dislikes. This will start a conversation and eventually, the other person will also introduce himself/herself.
