"You have to tell people what you want to be known for, especially in an interview...you have that unique style, that approach, that area where you truly shine." — Nicole Trick Steinbach
We dive into the art of introducing yourself and specifically how to navigate that dreaded career interview question: "Tell us about yourself." Whether you're actively seeking a new job or focused on growing your career,, this episode is essential for anyone looking to make a lasting impression.
I break down two common forms of introductions - the standard one we're all taught and a more impactful alternative. I walk you through the six key elements required for creating a memorable introduction.
- Choose what you want to be known for and how you want to feel
- Make the introduction connect with the other person
- Go beyond your title or functional focus
- Take up time and space to be unique
- Connect to the situation you are in
- Always move the conversation along with a question or request
Don't settle for a dull and forgettable introduction. Tune in to this episode of the Celebrate Brave Podcast and learn how to craft an engaging self-introduction that leaves a lasting impression.
