How to recommend yourself


It is predicted that the 21st century is a century of self-recommendation. In such an era, brave and artistically recommending yourself is a necessary condition for a person to become famous. If you want to be a self-recommended winner, at least keep the following tips:
1. Recommend yourself as a means, not an end. Recommend yourself, just a means of persuasion, even if others accept and affirm your personality, skills and ideals, so as to have a chance to succeed. But you can't do it because you think it's the purpose of recommending yourself. Regardless of the outcome, just recommend it, you won't be worth the candle. At the time of the Warring States period, Mao Zedong self-recommended, and finally persuaded Chu Wang to cooperate with Zhao Guo, to send troops to solve the encirclement, the purpose is to display their talents and serve the country.
2. It is recommended that you should be oriented towards each other. When recommending yourself, the focus should be on the needs and feelings of the other party, and persuade the other party according to their needs and feelings, and be accepted by the other party. In this regard, there are many successful lucky people. The girl in the journalism department of a university in Beijing is small, with good academic performance and strong business ability. I heard that a national newspaper dignitary, she spent a day to drill the library to study the newspaper, and then took his resume and works into the newspaper editorial office. After reading the editor-in-chief, I asked: "Why come to our newspaper?" "What characteristics do you think our newspapers have, and what are the shortcomings?"... Several times, the editor-in-chief can't hold the behead and tell the "research results" after a week. A week later, Xiao A got his wish and was "researched" into the newspaper. The success of the small a is to be accepted by the attention of the other party.
3. Recommend yourself to have enough self-confidence. Galileo said: "The pursuit of science requires special courage." The same is true for self-recommendation. Being aware of yourself with the power you need to reach your goals is one of the key elements of success. Ma Shengli, the director of the Shijiazhuang Paper Mill, which stood out in the wave of reform, was very confident in self-recommendation. After graduating from the middle school, he worked as a worker for 23 years. He was familiar with workers and factory life. He was a sales chief and accumulated management experience. When the opportunity came, it was able to calmly show off 36 reform measures and 72 workarounds, and answered questions from more than 100 experts, leaders, and business representatives at the defense meeting. The articles were awesome and made the audience amazed.
4. Recommend yourself to have your own characteristics. Recommend yourself to start by drawing attention to others. If others don't care about your existence, then you can't talk about recommending yourself. So how do you get the attention of others? The key is to have your own characteristics. The so-called characteristics here are not any diplomas, which units are qualified and unqualified, as long as the recipients think they have characteristics. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Wu made an example of General Wu Guoda: Sun Wu told Wu Wangzhong how to use the soldiers, which made Wu Wang marvel. In order to clarify Sun Wu’s real talents, Wu Wang asked him to use three hundred palace ladies to practice the formation, and Sun Wu resolutely agreed. After the three-and-a-half application, the two most favored nephews of Wu Wang, who were the captains, were treated according to the military law, which made the drill very successful. Sun Wu can arouse Wu’s interest, the key is his strict management of the military, and this is what Wu Wang needs.
5. Recommend yourself to be good at face to face. Through interviews, people can get advice on recommending themselves, convincing each other, reaching agreements, exchanging information, and eliminating misunderstandings. When you recommend yourself face to face, you should pay attention to and abide by the following rules: Prepare according to the object and content of the interview; speak freely, speak boldly, overcome psychological obstacles; grasp the appropriate timing, including understanding the situation, observing the expression, analyzing the psychology , random strains, etc. If you talk face to face with others and you can't take the opportunity to recommend yourself, I am afraid there will be no better time.
6. Recommend yourself to have a flexible point. There are hundreds of people, and each has its own merits. The same is true for the demand for talent. If you still can't convince the other person's needs and feelings and are not accepted by the other party, you should reconsider your choice. If the expectations are too high and your eyes are only on the hot units, you should lower your expectations in a timely manner, and look at a few units. You can also go to the industry that is related to or related to your professional skills. American consultant O'Neill said: "If you have the technology to repair the aircraft engine, you can turn him into a technology to repair a car or a big truck."
7. Recommend yourself to pay attention to controlling emotions. People's emotions have three manifestations: uplifting, calm and low tide. In the process of recommending oneself, being good at controlling one's emotions is an important aspect of one's self-image. Emotional control can cause others to feel and recognize you. Emotional impermanence makes it easy to leave a bad impression. In order to control his own emotional mood, the American psychologist Yulis made three interesting suggestions: "whisper, slow language, chest."
8. Use your resume or application form to recommend yourself to the other party. To do this, do the following: Know as much as possible about the other person's situation, figure out the other's requirements and whether you are qualified enough; collect files and materials that can confirm your identity, resume, characteristics, etc. The other party evaluates your quality; the resume should be realistic, concise, and should not be overstated; the writing should be correct and clear, and never let the dragon fly. Otherwise, the other party is difficult to read, it is difficult to be interested in you.
9. Recommend yourself to use the means of publicity flexibly. When engaging in propaganda, you should summarize your resume, talents, inventions, contributions, ideals, hobbies, etc. in a short autobiographical form, and send them to the units and departments that you think may be of interest to you. It can also be passed through acquaintances, relatives, etc., and you can recommend yourself to the other person you need by advertising.
10. Recommend yourself to be difficult to retreat, and find another way. Recommending yourself sometimes does not necessarily succeed. When you go to the interview and seek employment, when you find that the timing is wrong or the other party is not interested, you must "take thirty-six measures and take the best policy." At this time, the performance should be calm, not humble to show the attitude, or find a step under the own, giving people a vivid impression. If the recommendation is unsuccessful, it may be wrong with yourself. For example, the qualification is not enough, the business is not right, and the customer is not too picky. It may also be wrong with you, but the other party does not know talent, gender discrimination, excessive demands, and so on. At this time, you have to find another way.
