无论是找工作面试，还是即将到来的考研复试，自我介绍的重视性不言而喻，因为它关乎到自己能不能得到这份工作，能不能复试通过。然而很多人在面试的时候，根本不知道如何展现自己。描述过了，显得你虚伪；太谦虚，又不利于展现自己。那么，怎么去做好一个自我介绍呢？
It is a safe bet, this will be one of the first questions you will face, and the way you answer it will set the tone for the entire interview.
我敢肯定，这将是你首先要面对的问题之一，你的回答将为整个面试效果定下基调。
One thing that stays true for this answer every time you are asked: KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL.
每当你被问到这个问题时，有一件事是正确的：保持它的专业性。
Employers are not asking you this question because they want to know what your favorite color is; they want to know why you are the best candidate for the job.
雇主问你这个问题不是因为他们想知道：你最喜欢的颜色是什么；他们想知道为什么你会成为这份工作的最佳人选。
Employers want to hire the best person for the job, and your job is to convince them this is you.
雇主想要雇用最合适的人来做这项工作，而你的工作就是说服他们这个人就是你。
As it is most likely the first question you will face in your interview, it is one of the first impressions you will be giving the employer.
因为这很可能是你在面试中碰到的第一个问题，这就是你要留给雇主的第一印象。
You want to give the most professional image of yourself as possible, in order to accomplish this, do not volunteer personal information.
你想展示自己最专业的形象，为了做到这一点，请不要主动提供个人信息。
“Please, tell me about yourself”.
“请介绍一下你自己”。

You do not want to give any information about your personal life, but rather your professional life and how it relates to the position you are interviewing for.

Not every position you interview for is going to be exactly the same, even if the job title is.
并不是你面试的每一个职位都是完全一样的，即使岗位名称相同。
Each company has different needs, so study the job description and figure out exactly what it is they are looking for.

Once you figure out what the employer is looking for in a candidate, your job is to be that person, so emphasize the skills and qualifications you have that relate to the job specifically.

Try to keep your answers in chronological order.
尽量使你的答案按时间顺序排列。
You do not have to recap your professional history year by year, but detailing the experiences and skills that you have gained as you attained them in an organized fashion will leave a good impression on the employer.
你不必年复一年地重述你的职业经历，但是，以一种有组织的方式详细描述你所获得的经验和技能将会给雇主留下很好的印象。
Your resume can help you with this as it is in chronological order and can help you set a timeline.
