How to Write a Personal Introduction Summarize your professional experience. Your name and work title or experience should be included in the opening sentence of your self-introduction. Extend on your experiences and accomplishments. Finish with a transition to the next section of the dialogue. For example: "My name is X and I am an Y." Or "I am a Z and have done things that make me proud." A transitional phrase can help link the two sections of the introduction - for example, "As you can see from my resume, I have extensive experience working with companies like yours." Always start introductions with your name and work title or experience. This provides necessary information about you without being overwhelming. If you are applying for a job beyond your current one, it is appropriate to mention this in your introduction. For example: "I am interested in this position because I plan to grow as a company by implementing new strategies such as what you described here." In addition to being informative, introductions must also be concise. Try to limit yourself to only a few sentences since there is very little space for additional information. If you want to discuss more than three topics within your introduction, break it up into several paragraphs. Finally, be sure to write a personal introduction.
