It's not wrong if he states his name in full.. I mean there is nothing wrong with saying, "My names are Surname Firstname Middlename."

If he is saying only his surname and Firstname, then "My name is..." is the correct form.

You don't use "are" even if the names r 5

My names are would be acceptable if people are allowed to either list their names or put commas and conjunction between each single name.

Say,

My names are Ebuka, Fabian and Onuoha. Lol

How can one introduce oneself in a job interview?

Just tell them u are Abubakar Shekarau
Re: How Do I Introduce Myself In A Job Interview? by Nobody: 3:52pm On Nov 21, 2015
It really doesn't matter what you say, it's how you say it that counts.



The question is more like "Leave a first impression" not necessarily "introduce yourself"

This reminds me of our screening into FUNAAB five years ago. We were told of this conversation btw an interviewer(lecturer) and a candidate.
I- What is your name?
C- My name is North West sir.
I- What brings you here?
C- Cab sir....
Lol......

My name is Richy4. From so and so state. A bachelors degree holder in so and so and A masters degree holder in so and so. And I have 2years experience in so and so. just short and sweet

Do not add more or subtract. Please don't add your age. No one cares. Maybe in Nigeria they do.

Just like no one cares for a "thank you" after ur introduction.

Name/ academic background/( family background optional ) and your interests on the job itself.

It will give them a wider view on what questions to ask you thereby jamming their head with too many options but limited time.
This is because they already have their questions well planned out but if you have a rich academic background it will throw them off course thereby forcing your interviewer to ask you what you want to be asked.
Don't ever give an interviewer an upper hand by making life too easy for them.
Goodluck .
thanks very much.so,there is no point telling your state of origin,date of birth,your adress etc.though I google it and it was exactly the way state it but,just that I want to still hear from nairalanders.

One individual has gat a name and not names!
So its actually "♍γ̲̣̣ name is" and not "♍γ̲̣̣ names are"
That's Queens English

Say your name,previous places of work and the years xperience there,then you go ahead to achievements (successful ones ooo). I remembered when I went for fidelity bank interview and I was asked same Questn, I told the interviewer that I was part of the team that did research b4 the introduction of Mountain Due drink into the market,he then replied "it was a failed product that didn't succeed". I went straight to other achievement to cover up my lapses

No wonder it failed.

Please, take note of the minutest of details when interacting with these HR guys. It's just something that seem unimportant that might take you up or bring you down.

I once went for an interview where the same question was thrown, ordinarily, I would answer skipping personal details but because the job demanded someone who had religious sensitivity and multicultural awareness, I had to chip in my place of birth (which is totally different from my state of origin) and where I had my early education which is also different from where I reside. Those points set me apart.

In telling your name , you'll prolly end up giving them your biodata.

Always remember that they want you to tell them about your resume verbatim. This exactly what you tell them and this is why your resume need to be well polished with truth and fact that can't be resisted.

Some people see my name are as correct English while some says my name is, is the correct one but in the mist of all, I think it's perfect to use " I am so so & so.
