4. Describe why you are valuable
Make yourself stand out against other candidates or work colleagues
by describing your unique skills and experience in your introduction.
An interesting introduction can jump-start an interview or, if you’re
in a group setting, can attract attention away from important contacts.
Consider what makes you a valuable candidate for a position or a good
contact to have. Include your most memorable strengths in your
introduction.

5. Recognize the culture
Being respectful of customs is an important part of making a good
impression. Investigate the company you’re interviewing with to learn
as much as you can about their company culture so that you can
customize your introduction to them. You may feel more comfortable
using a casual tone if they are casual company. If you’re attending an
event, do some research on the event’s formality.
