自我介绍的时间一般为3分钟，在时间的分配上，第一分钟可谈谈学历等个人基本情况，第二分钟可谈谈工作经历，对于应届毕业生而言可谈相关的社会实践，第三分钟可谈对本职位的理想和对于本行业的看法。如果自我介绍要求在1分钟内完成，自我介绍就要有所侧重，突出一点，不及其余。
在实践中，有些应聘者不了解面试自我介绍的重要性，只是简短地介绍一下自己的姓名、身份，其后补充一些有关自己的学历、工作经历等情况，大约半分钟左右就结束了自我介绍，然后望着考官，等待下面的提问，这是相当不妥的，白白浪费了一次向面试官推荐自己的宝贵机会。而另一些应聘者则试图将自己的全部经历都压缩在这几分钟内，这也是不明智的做法。合理地安排自我介绍的时间，突出重点是首先要考虑的问题。
切勿采用“背诵”口吻
人力资源专家指出，自我介绍可以事前准备，也可以事前找些朋友做练习，但自我介绍应避免书面语言的严整与拘束，而应使用灵活的口头语进行组织。切忌以背诵朗读的口吻介绍自己，如果那样的话，对面试官来说，将是无法忍受的。自我介绍还要注意声线，尽量让声调听来流畅自然，充满自信。
只说与职位相关的优点
自我介绍时要投其所好摆成绩，这些成绩必须与现在应聘公司的业务性质有关。在面试中，你不仅要告诉考官你是多么优秀的人，更要告诉考官，你如何地适合这个工作岗位。那些与面试无关的内容，即使是你引以为荣的优点和长处，你也要忍痛舍弃。
在介绍成绩时，说的次序也极为重要，应该把你最想让面试官知道的事情放在前面，这样的事情往往是你的得意之作，也可以让面试官留下深刻的印象。
以说真话为前提
面试自我介绍时，要突出个人的优点和特长，你可以使用一些小技巧，比如可以介绍自己做过什么项目来验证具有某种能力，也可以适当引用别人的言论，如老师、朋友等的评论来支持自己的描述。但无论使用哪种小技巧，都要坚持以事实说话，少用虚词、感叹词之类。自吹自擂一般是很难逃过面试官的眼睛的。至于谈弱点时则要表现得坦然、乐观、自信。

Good morning Sir, (What will you say if it is a woman?)
I am glad to be here for this interview. First, let me thank you for finding time in the midst of pressing affairs.
I am 25 years old and I am local. (I live locally sounds better) I am seeking an opportunity to work with XXX as Sales. (..IN sales or As a Sales representative/whatever).My professional experience and my awareness of your unparalleled reputation have led me to want to work for your company.
I have a bachelor degree with a major in Mechanical and Electrical field.(pause) Graduated from the XXX university in 2002. Over the past three years, I have worked with XXX Co.,Ltd as Sales (again, in sales or as a sales man/person/rep?) who responsible (with responsibility mainly) for the market of Hunan. During this period, I have learnt much. I learned the values of teamwork and commitment, how to win, how to work hard, how to concentrate and focus on goals, and how to balance my time and priorities. Additional experience in other fields such as graduation practice in factory and commercial negotiation also reinforces my value to your company.
I enjoy thinking, enjoy learning, enjoy working, (and I am )able to bear work pressure.
In my free time, I often participate (in) activities such as table tennis (and) badminton.
I am expecting to become your colleague on some day. (More tactful to say ’I would love to become you colleague/join the company)
Because being offhand in advance, let’s leave it at that. (This sentence makes no sense. ’Being offhand’ means to be rude, inconsiderate, ill-mannered so I don’t think that is whay you mean! In advance of what? ’Let’s leave it at that’ is a command, it sounds rather abrupt and ill-mannered to me, again I don’t think this is what you meant. How about ’I would love to join your company and you would not regret giving me this opportunity.’ and just finish with a smile!)
Thanks.
