The first step to introducing yourself effectively is knowing who you are and what makes you unique. Ask yourself the following questions and jot down your answers:

• Which of your previous jobs, even if they were part-time jobs, internships, or volunteer positions, provided you with experience relevant to what you hope to do now? If none, what about your studies or extracurricular activities?
• What are your strongest skills?
• What are your strengths and passions?
• What kinds of jobs, companies or industries would you like to pursue?
• What can you say about yourself that will set you apart from the other?  What makes you memorable and special?
