3 Steps to Writing a Self-Introduction That Conveys 'Who You Are'

When you try to write a self-introduction, you might find yourself stuck.

I think that happens to a lot of people.

I also struggled for a long time with the feeling of 'not knowing how to describe myself' or 'feeling like what I wrote was shallow and just not quite right.'

But actually, the reasons why a self-introduction fails to connect are almost always the same.

Today, I will write about those reasons and a 3-step method to organize your thoughts.

What ineffective self-introductions have in common

'I provide support for X,' 'I am good at Y.'

—Even if you think you are being accurate, those kinds of self-introductions leave the reader wondering, 'So, what can you do for me?'

Ineffective self-introductions almost always share the characteristic of 'not mentioning the reader.'

A self-introduction is not a place to explain yourself, but rather a place to make the reader feel, This person seems like they understand me. is what it is.

Why talking only about yourself doesn't work

① Listing achievements and background doesn't make it relatable to the reader. → If you don't convey whose problems you have solved and how, empathy won't be created.

② Writing about your strengths and expertise leads to 'So what?' → If it isn't translated into value for the other person, it just flows by as information.

③ Not writing 'what to do next.' → Even if they are interested, nothing will happen if there is no call to action.

3 steps to convey 'who you are'

Step 1: Write in one sentence 'whose problems you can solve and what kind of problems they are.'

'I help people who are struggling with X to be able to do Y.'

Just by using this format, it becomes easier for the reader to feel, 'This is about me.'

Step 2: Show 'why you are trustworthy' with concrete achievements.

Including numbers and results, such as 'supported X number of people' or 'achieved Y results,' provides a basis for trust.

It might become a little easier to write about achievements you've previously held back on if you think of it as 'conveying them is a form of sincerity toward the other person.'

Step 3: Clearly state 'what to do after reading'

Indicate the next step, such as 'If you're interested, head to LINE' or 'Start by checking the link in my profile.'

Just doing this makes it easier for the people who read it to take action.

You don't need to overthink it.

A single sentence that makes someone think, 'I want to know more about this person,' is far more important than a perfect self-introduction.

What you have done so far, the people you have helped, and what you have felt will surely resonate with someone as, 'Exactly! That's it!'

Please try writing just one step for now.
