In an increasingly competitive and global world, having an experienced coach to guide you along the way is one of the best ways to stay ahead. Kwantum Leap was created to specifically address the lack of help available to youth - high school students, university undergraduate & graduate students, as well as aspiring young executives.
At Kwantum Leap, we firmly believe that in order to make the best choice for yourself, you must be as informed as possible. You know yourself best, so our job isn't to help you make your choices. It's to help you gather all the important information you need, so when you do have to make those tough choices, you're making informed ones.How to Introduce Yourself in an Interview
Interviews are won or lost in the first 5 minutes. Experienced interviewers can tell in your initial interactions with them if there’s potential here, or if you’re just not going to fit in. Over the last 2 weeks, I’ve worked with over 75 undergraduates conducting 1-on-1 mock interviews with them, and I can definitely tell you, after just the first few questions, which were the handful that stood out from the crowd.
So what does this mean? You need to start your interview strong! Prepare for the typical introductory questions (e.g. can you start by telling me a little bit more about yourself? Why are you interested in working for us? Why this role?), and be ready to really impress the interviewer with your answer.
Today I want to focus specifically on the introduction – what should you say and how much should you say if the interviewer asks you to tell them more about yourself?
