Hi, I am Bhausaheb, working as an HR Officer. When going to an interview, the first question asked is to introduce yourself. However, I find it challenging to present myself as the interviewer expects. Could you please provide me with a format for self-introduction in an interview or tips on how to introduce myself effectively?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Suggested format for self-introduction:
1. Spell out your name clearly.
2. Tell how you prefer to be called.
3. Share details of your qualifications (if time permits, starting from your school days) and the institutions you studied at.
4. Mention any awards, trophies, or distinctions you have received for academic excellence.
5. Explain the reasons for choosing the discipline in your education.
6. Provide information about your family members (Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, Spouse, Children).
7. If you have children, specify their education stream (CBSE, State Board, etc.).
8. Share details about your spouse if they are employed.
9. Outline your employment history and reasons for leaving each job.
10. Highlight your achievements in each of your previous employments.
11. Explain the reasons for leaving your current job.
Caution:
- Avoid speaking negatively about your family members, instructors at educational institutions, or past employers.
- Maintain a proper posture during the interview.
- Make eye contact with the interviewer while answering questions.
- After concluding your presentation, politely indicate that you have finished. Avoid unnecessary elaboration, even if the interviewer has not asked the next question.
- Conduct thorough research on the organization where you are interviewing, including their business and any special initiatives, as they may inquire about your knowledge of their company.

Just feel free and be at ease. Display assertiveness while introducing yourself. Do not use very difficult English words. Make it plain and simple. Be honest and truthful because you can be grilled on any word uttered by you. Rehearse "self-introduction" in front of the mirror every day until you achieve mastery.

I think what cjacob28 has presented will satisfy your interviewer. Focus less on the personal stuff and more on your experiences, goals, and competencies which will add value to the position you are applying for and to the company/team.
I think what is most vital when you are asked for a self-introduction is not your detailed life history but facts about yourself, your education, your family background, and your achievements in brief. You could also speak of your strengths here and correlate them to the job you have applied for. It is important to be clear, precise, and to the point. Speak confidently and look for feedback from the interviewer.
