Step 1
Of course, you can speak without preparation, but for this you need to be a genius of oratory. Therefore, it is better to sketch out the text of the presentation in advance and memorize its main points (but not memorize). The test should consist of three parts - an interesting and vivid greeting, the main part where you talk about your achievements and a memorable conclusion.
Step 2
Take the time to evaluate how your speech will sound from the outside. Record it on a tape recorder or computer and listen to what intonations you are missing. For example, in order for the interlocutor to feel your confidence, use the perfect verbs - did, prepared, entered, etc.
Step 3
It is important to clearly know for whom you are doing self-presentation. You should be as attuned to your audience as possible and be ready to answer their most provocative questions. Even if this audience is one person, for example, your future boss.
Step 4
Body language plays a big role. You need to monitor your posture and gestures during the presentation. They should be as open as possible.
Step 5
According to American researchers Tedeshi and Ries, there are five ways of self-presentation: trying to please, self-promotion, intimidation, demonstration of spiritual superiority and demonstration of one's own weakness.
