Everyone knows how to introduce themselves, right? It's just like those name tags organizers pass out at networking events, "Hello, my name is…" Unfortunately, a lot of job seekers have a tough time getting beyond that very basic introduction. Sure, they can chat about where they grew up or their favorite book or movie, but when it comes time to say something smart and relevant about their job search interests, it gets a little tricky.
每個人都知道怎么介紹自己，是嗎?大多時候的介紹都感覺像那些給自己貼上姓名標簽一樣，“你好，我的名字是......”，悲劇的是，大部分的求職者都發(fā)現(xiàn)很難說些基本信息之外的話題。當然，他們可以聊聊在哪長大的，或者最喜歡的書或電影，但當實際談到一些與找工作有關(guān)的話題，還要說得聰明，就好像變得有點尷尬了。

與其準備一個兩分鐘的面試演講，你不如好好想想怎么快速有效的介紹自己的相關(guān)信息，這樣你的聽眾們才不至于一面等著你快點結(jié)束自我介紹，一面在腦子中構(gòu)想下班之后的購物清單。
If you can't introduce yourself to a potential contact in 30 seconds or less, you may miss some important opportunities to impress someone important.
如果你無法在30秒鐘或更少時間之內(nèi)把自己介紹出來，那么你就可能會失去一些機會，無法給別人留下深刻印象。
To create an impressive pitch, know the answers to the following questions:
要做一個讓人眼前一亮的簡介，先了解下面的這些問題吧：
