Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I work in a job where I have to introduce myself quite a lot. For a longer introduction like you would in an interview, I do the following:
General statement about my career, one liner
the professional topics I'm most interested, 3 or 4 bullet points
a brief walk through my resume: what I studied (one liner) and where I worked, no longer than 1 minute total
what am I doing currently, responsibilities, likes and dislikes, no more than a minute, they'll ask you more about it later
some personal details: family, kids, hobbies, favorite {teams, sports, countries, movies, whatever} keep it to 20-30 seconds
Total under 3 minutes
For a shorter one, like in a 1h zoom call:
name, position (and description of the position if unusual), tenure.
any relationship to the people in the call (I'm a customer of yours, my first car was from you, I would love to buy gizmo some day, etc)
background info: previous jobs or studies if relevant (oh, i used to work in industry in college, etc)
one hobby if relevant, or if it is in your background (movies, books, sports, photography, whatever)
Total 15 to 30 seconds.
