Part 1: Who You Are
The first part of your interview self-introduction should be a concise and structured background summary that focuses on achievements and impact, rather than generic responsibilities..
Introduction
Your self-introduction should begin with a high-level summary of your role and experience. Then, you can go into a little more detail about by your most recent role, career path and achievements.
High-level summary
Clearly state your job title, how long you’ve been in the role, and the types of industries or fields you’ve worked in.
I’m a Product Manager with 5 years of experience in B2B SaaS platforms.
Current position
Next, describe your current or most recent position.
Don’t just list your responsibilities, but focus on your achievements and impact.
Most recently, I worked at Company X where I led the redesign of the customer onboarding experience, reducing churn by 18%.
If possible, include measurable results.
For example, instead of “I was responsible for writing tests”, say:
I wrote automated tests that reduced manual QA time by 40%.
Previous positions
If you’ve held several positions, there’s no need to list every position and responsibility – briefly summarise them or focus on those most relevant to the new role.
Before that, I was part of a smaller startup team where I built several internal tools from scratch.
My background combines software engineering and user experience.
Students or graduates
Your background summary should state your degree or area of study, and then move into relevant experience such as internships, academic projects or even personal or open-source projects.
I'm a recent graduate with a degree in Computer Science from Oxford University.
During my studies, I completed an internship at company Y, which taught me how to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
