Its a tricky question... #can we meet u or tell us abt ur self.... In this case its an avenue to sell ur self. The interviewer dosent wanna no ur biography. Let's assume ure applyn for a slaes/marketing executive, u start this way.
My names are bla bla bla, am a sales n executive marketer wit ova 2yrs xperience in sales n marketing. Am a graduate of yoruba frm thr university of congo, wit a 2nd class upper. After dt u tell them different companys uv workd wit n wt dey do in d company n ur post also. You wait for their other questions. I hope this helps u in ur adventure in job hunting. Bless u

Just tell them to look at your CV.


And if they still insist, then tell them how many girl you shagged and how many can of orijin you can consume within a specific period of time, since the CV. won't detail these infos.

Jokes apart,

The important things about yourself and your achievements relating to life goals concisely

"My names are" is structurally wrong

"My name is" is correct.

Nice contribution you've got there btw.

How can one introduce oneself in a job interview?
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 .

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

Re: How Do I Introduce Myself In A Job Interview? by RedCapChief(m): 3:38pm On Nov 21, 2015
You should introduce yourself with confidence and poise. Try to be presidential.



However, if it is an endtime job, then introduce yourself as

PRESIDENT MAMA MMADU BU GARI, GCFR

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.

Tell them your name, your educational qualification, your work experience if any, your strong points eg "I have strong interpersonal skills" etc but please leave out your personal info like date of birth, marital status etc they are in ur cv anyway, except if you are asked

Of course its more aporopriate to state your full name in a formal context like this but using a plural verb is wrong because your name stands for one person; a single entity.

Just like saying my phone numbers are 080564*** which is grammatically wrong too.
