英文自我介绍与中文自我介绍的考虑因素有一点不同,主要在于面试官的身份。
如果面试官是中国人,要求你用英文做自我介绍,那么其意图主要是考察你的英语水平,了解你的英语发音和流利程度。所以,在准备英文自我介绍的时候,要着重表现自己的英语水平,一定要重视发音、语法及流利表达。
如果面试官是外国人,那么要求你用英文自我介绍的目的就不再是考察英语水平,而是要聆听自我介绍的细节,并根据你提供的细节来进行下一步的提问。所以,在面对外国面试官做自我介绍时,一定要在你希望面试官提问的地方放慢语速,或者用语气的变化来强调。另外,由于不同的外国面试官对于中国的了解程度不同,有些面试官对于中国的诸如人名、地名、学校名、公司名不一定了解,所以在自我介绍中提到这类词汇时,一定要放慢语速或者做简要解释。
那么面试官一般喜欢具备什么特点的英文自我介绍呢?
01-表达句式尽量使用口语化的短句,易于面试官听懂;
02-在表达过程中语速要慢,比中文自我介绍速度要放慢至少三分之一,易于面试官放松地倾听;
03-需要面试官重点倾听的地方会使用语调和语气加以强调,使面试官特别注意你所表达的内容。
从自我介绍的时间上来说,在面对中国面试官做自我介绍的时候可以简短一些,正常朗读时间在1分钟到1.5分钟之间,因为简短的自我介绍更能让中国面试官记住你说的话。
而在面对外国面试官的英文自我介绍,时间则可以稍微长一点,以正常朗读时间1.5分钟到2分钟为宜,因为这期间你可能需要额外做一些关于人名或地名的解释。

自我介绍原文:
My English name is Jessie, J-E-S-S-I-E, I wonder if there are already other Jessies in Coca-Cola, because it is a very popular name with Chinese girls, hehe.
I will graduate from China Agricultural University in June 2009, but my major is economics, not related to agriculture. I like my major a lot so I’ve got a very good academic performance. My GPA ranks number 3 in the class of 60 students. Besides studying, I interned at a couple of companies.
You may have noticed that I worked for Coca Cola as a part-time promotion assistant. I was then working in Campus Supermarket to promote the drink Cool, or Ku-er in Chinese. It was a very tiring job, because I had to wear the heavy costume of a bear for eight hours a day and jump around to attract the attention of children. But I did it quite well.
As a graduate from an agriculture university I have natural interest in Coca-Cola.Besides interest, I am sure I have the potential to be a great sales management trainee, and I have the necessary qualities of a good sales management trainee, you know, communications skills, passion, not afraid of being rejected and so on. These abilities have been proven in my part-time jobs. I wish I could use them to sell my favorite Coca-Cola products to more and more people! Thank you.
点评:在介绍自己英文名字的时候与面试官有了一个互动,开启了一个良好的自我介绍开端。由于在实习经历中,曾经做过可口可乐公司的产品促销,所以向面试官介绍这段经历,也许会引起面试官好感或共鸣。最后围绕销售的职业特质,简要说明自己符合该职位。如果你有过在应聘公司或者其竞争对手公司实习、兼职的经历,建议在自我介绍中向面试官重点展示。
