I've already done some research on other workers at Accenture to see how they achieved similar goals. I know that Accenture encourages the pursuit and will reimburse for tuition of a graduate degree. I plan on pursuing a MBA to give me an even more extensive knowledge of business and financial analysis.

Your self-introduction in an interview is an extremely important part of the entire time, especially if the job will be in management or sales.

You typically have about 20 or 30 seconds to introduce yourself. We call this 'the elevator speech'.

Eye contact is very important. You should engage, make eye contact, but not stare down or threaten the other person. The handshake is important, somewhat firm but not crushing. Posture is important. Remaining somewhat close, leaning slightly forward if distances permit, head up, shoulders balanced.

You should clearly say your name, what you do, what you would like to do, something that shows you know something about the business, and how you think you can help the person on the other side of the desk.  You can refer articles and essays about myself examples or self introduction tips.

Your introductory statement or Career Overview should include the things like this:

1. An interesting story line which relates to the job profile and your suitability; usually best to start at the earliest point in your career and work forward to the present day, so the last thing you tell them is the most recent and relevant in you job profile.

2. This self introduction MUST highlight your key strengths and achievements which dovetail into the needs of the prospective employer. You should have read the job description and person specification so you know exactly what they're looking for.

3. You should speak clearly, in straightforward language, with good eye contact and without jargon, but keep it to 3 minutes or less.

4. As you come up to date, include a brief version of your leaving story or exit statement to explain why you're applying for the job and why you're so excited to be with them today. And being excited and enthusiastic is worth so much to a jaded interviewer.
