There will come a time when you will need to write a short introduction to your business or for personal reasons. Maybe this article is used in your resume, a professional activity or your personal website. Your self-introduction should be short, engaging, and focused. While it can be difficult to talk about yourself, especially in short text, you can write an introductory essay by deciding what to write, drafts, and finally completing it.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Decide what to write

1. 

   Identify your audience. Think about why you need this short resume. Is it for inclusion on a personal website, job profile or scholarship application? Knowing who will read a description can help you choose a holistic expression. Such as:
   • School target: formal and charismatic expressions.
   • Personal website: an informal, interesting and personal presentation.
   • Work bio: balance between formal expression and personal style.

2. 

   
   
   Go through the instructions provided (if available). Read through any other relevant guide or document to writing your biography. You should ask the contact person any questions you have about their requirements or expectations. Adhering to all the rules can make a good impression on the reader.
   • Some places may require a formal text, while others may only require a 100-word paragraph without any rules.
   • See if there are specific types of information to include in your presentation.

3. 

   
   
   Make a list of your achievements. A short personal piece of information usually includes a section about your awards and achievements. Write down a list of all the details such as diplomas / certificates, awards you have earned or personal achievements you have (for example in the HCMC RUN cross-country race). Then, you need to go over your list and pick out impressive achievements related to your audience and your objective for your presentation.
   • Avoid including controversial topics such as personal beliefs in politics or religion. For example, the sentence "My love for God governs all decisions about my projects," may not be appropriate if you work for a large company that does not have a specific view religion.
   • Should not lead into achievements from high school or earlier. Most people want to know what you've accomplished as an adult aged 18 and over.

4. 

   
   
   Pay attention to your concerns. Write another list of your personal interests and strengths. Then check it again so that every detail is aimed at the audience. In addition to writing down your experiences and achievements, your interests will give the reader a more comprehensive picture of who you are. Eg:
   • Doctor Quoc not only has a long-term interest in obstetrics, but he is also very passionate about research on childbirth history.
   • Huy Hoang loves to work with his team to develop more efficient bicycle wheels for the company. Hoang has a love for off-road bikes, and so he and his colleagues often test new products on the weekends.

5. 

   Ignore the usual assertions. You should refrain from writing down a list of personal traits in your information. Almost everyone makes similar claims in their descriptions. Instead, let your experiences and interests engage the reader. Employers will check personality traits at the interview if they want. Some words to avoid include:
   • Reliable
   • loyal
   • Unique
   • Passion
   • Amiability
   • Kind

Method 2 of 2: Draft and edit

1. 

   Exclude inappropriate content. Remember that you want your writing to be concise, which means your language must be simple and direct. Choose words that engage readers and emphasize your accomplishments. Such as:
   • You should choose the sentence "Bao Nam is a modern historian in France. He is very interested in the way urbanization changes the culinary culture of the people of Paris," instead of, "Bao Nam was spending time learning about the history of France and the French way of eating. Nam really likes French cuisine, which has shaped his research. "
   • "Thu Cuc has been practicing yoga for the past 20 years. As a teacher of the Jivamukti yoga school, but Cuc is also very interested in Ashtanga yoga and rehabilitation classes," which sounds better than " Thu Cuc has followed the path of a yoga teacher for more than two decades, decided to be a yoga instructor and teacher Jivamukti, but also wanted to step into other esoteric methods. "

2. 

   Customize the sentence form and tense (for English introduction). Write two current tense versions of the short description: one in the first person and one in the third person. The first person description is used in the job application, job history or personal website. The third person is used in case someone introduces you.

3. 

   You need to make sure the sentences seem reasonable. As you write, check that each sentence is linked to the previous one. Getting the description to flow properly can be appealing to the reader. Not only that, the introduction will also look more polished than randomly putting a few sentences together.

4. 

   Edit your self-introduction. Put the description aside and come back and read it out loud after a few hours or days, marking any place that needs revisions for accuracy, comprehension or fluency. Make the necessary changes and read aloud many times until it is perfect.
   • When reading aloud, you will more likely find errors in spelling, grammar and coherence of the article.
   • Check for spelling mistakes and grammar rules that you are unsure of.

5. 

   Ask someone else to review your passage. Show this brochure to a trusted colleague, supervisor or friend. Ask them if your writing has a compromise between self-expression and humility. They can also point out what mistakes you need to fix. advertisement
