Steps
A strong introduction should not sound like a CV being read out loud. It should show your value, your experience, what you learned, and why you are the right person for that role.
Instead of starting with your name and background, start with what you can bring to the company.
Keep it clear, confident, and around 45 seconds.
Your goal is not to tell your entire life story. Your goal is to make the interviewer understand why your experience and skills fit the position.
The interviewer may meet many candidates with similar qualifications. The person who stands out is the one who makes them think, “This person understands what we need.”
Make that impression from your very first sentence.
