Everyone in their life time, have to introduce themselves to the audience or they they have to tell about themselves to the interviewer.

It is the speech which lies around 30 seconds to 3 minutes or 5 minutes, but it should not be more than 5 minutes, in case if any one ask you to tell about you more than five minutes, you have to make a sharp choice of what you have to tell.
But Do not write an award winning boring autobiography

It is very important that, it gives the first impression to others about us and it decide our qualifying for job during Interview.

In this Speech, you have to tell who you are and what you are about.
The key question for a successful and effective self introduction speech in both occasions is: How much and what information do you want the audience to know about you?

Due to the fact you have to write your speech around one theme, I recommend to develop one aspect of your life. That aspect will tell who you are and what you are about. Some people call this self introduction speech type a one-point speech, because it's based on one speech idea.

Following are the some of the Self Introduction points:

(1) Wishes: It is the first thing, you have to do in your speech,
At this point only you have to try to grab the attention of the audience.
You have to wish depending upon the time, either "Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening".
You can wish in different ways to grab the attention of the audience.

Good morning! My Dear Friends.

Good Morning! Ladies and Gentleman.

Good Morning! Beautiful Girls and Handsome Guys.

Good Morning to One and all or Good Morning! Everyone.

Respected Sir, Good Morning.

Special or Lovely or Cool Morning to you all.

There are so many ways you can wish others to grab their attention towards you.
(2) Purpose: We have to tell the purpose, why we have came in front of the audience.
We can say, " I have came here to tell you about myself or i have came here to tell you about one of the Great Personality of the Century, he is none other than it's me..."

(3) Name: Here you have to tell about your name....
To grab the attention of audience, you have to present your name differently.
If you know you can tell the meaning of your name or any famous celebrity with your name.

(4) Father's Name: Here you have to mention about your father's name.
Start your father name as "Mr. or Prof. or Dr."

(5) Family: It is the Great Opportunity to tell about your family, so tell the details what you want to tell about them.

(6) Profession: Tell about your profession, what you are doing at present.

(7) Location: Tell about your present location, where you are staying and if you want you can also tell with whom you are living.
You can also tell about you native place.
It is better to describe or tell about your place which is famous for.

(8) Hobbies/ Habits : Hobby means what you would like to do in your leisure time.
Habit means your regular activities.

This part tells about your nature and your life style, so be careful while telling this.
In Interviews, they will again ask questions regarding your habits and hobbies.
So be careful and try to tell your real hobby.

(9) Life Aim: Tell about what is your life aim, it will be good if your life aim is high.
You have to think high and you have try to reach high.

(10) Achievements: Tell about what you have achieved up to now, minimum it is good to say 3 achievements and best to have 5 and above.
Though the achievements are small, tell them, it shows your confidence but don't say, i don't have any achievements.

(11) Favorite Persons or Ideal Persons: It is good to say about you favorite or Ideal Persons.
(12) Favorite Movies, things, color, place, etc.,:
If you want you can tell your favorites, which tells about your tastes and preferences to others.

(13) Your Strength and Weakness: You can tell about your Strengths and weakness. In an interview, the weakness you will tell should be the Strength for that Company.

(14) People you Like and Dislike: Here you have to tell "what kind of people you like and what kind of people you dislike".
(15) Any Turning point in your life, which changed you. (16) How are you Different from Others?

(17) Conclusion: In conclusion, offer a memorable answer on the question the listeners probably will have when they listen to your public speaking speech: what's in it for me? Tell how this aspect of your life makes who you are and what you are. It will be the perfect ending of your self introduction speech.
(18) Finally say Thank You.

You have to adjust your speech according to the time, generally 3 minutes and you have to make the speech depending on the what section of people you are giving the speech and what you want to reveal about yourself.

Then it will be an Excellent speech.......

ABC World News segment on the Future of Work, featuring companies such as Crayon, Accenture, and IBM. If you're serious about finding a telecommuting, full-time, part-time, or flexible job, you're in the right place.

There are strong arguments in favour of remote or teleworking. Time saved not having to commute into a central office can translate into higher productivity, better quality of life, and give people with families more flexibility over how they organise their time.

High-speed broadband and secure virtual private networks now make teleworking feasible without posing a threat to corporate security, while more remote workers and flexible hours mean smaller offices and lower overheads for businesses.

Most importantly, workers seem to like it.

In August 2012, UK mobile phone operator Vodafone said most workers in London and the Home Counties now wanted to work more flexibly after having tried it during the London Olympics.

Of people surveyed, 24% said they had changed their normal working arrangements over the period, either working from home or another location, to avoid the expected travel restrictions. Productivity had increased as a result, they said, principally because of the time saved not having to commute.

And research by Mitel, published in July, indicated 81% of UK workers, and 87% of younger employees, wanted to escape the nine-to-five culture.

Vodafone says most employers already offer flexible working or are now more open to the idea.

Need to be seen

But what are the downsides? Humans are gregarious creatures. We like face-to-face contact. Will the increased adoption of flexible working lead to isolation and a drop in creative collaboration?

In a work culture still dominated by "presenteeism" - the need to be seen around the office - do teleworkers risk being overlooked when it comes to promotion or new project opportunities?

Tips for teleworkers

Set up a dedicated work space not shared by other family members

Work to time, not to task - take regular breaks and calculate your natural concentration period

Switch tasks regularly to add variety to your working day

Agree a way of signalling to family members you are working and not available

Keep to your usual work and sleep patterns

Do not isolate yourself - keep in contact with work colleagues via email, text, phone and social media

Stick to a work routine and keep a strict division between work and social or family life

Switch off work gadgets at the end of the day and let colleagues and managers know when you are not available

Set up separate personal and work email addresses to help maintain work and home boundaries

And as the boundaries between work and family life become increasingly blurred in the "always-on" era of digital communications, what psychological pressure does this put on us and our relationships with partners and families?

A study by the US not-for-profit organisation WorldatWork indicated the number of people working from home or another remote location for an entire day at least once a month fell from 33.7 million in 2008 to 26.2 million in 2010. When the job market is tough, it seems workers fear out of sight really does mean out of mind. The issue particularly affects younger, less established workers.

And a study by the University of Toronto, published in the US Journal of Health and Social Behavior last year, asked participants how often they had been contacted outside the workplace by phone, email, or text about work-related matters.

It indicated women who were contacted frequently by supervisors, co-workers, or clients reported higher levels of psychological distress, principally because they felt guilty. Men were less affected.

Report author Paul Glavin said: "Women are able to juggle their work and family lives just as well as men, but they feel more guilty as a result of being contacted. This guilt seems to be at the heart of their distress."

More hours

In a major study into the wellbeing of mobile workers conducted for iPass, a network provider, Dr Carolyn Axtell, senior lecturer at Sheffield University's Institute of Work Psychology and Management, found more than a quarter of respondents said they worked 15 to 20 hours extra a week, largely because technology enabled them to do so, a trend "likely to have significant repercussions for work-life balance and employee well-being".

A third of these workaholics said they had logged on even while on holiday and that this was expected of them by managers and colleagues, leading to greater stress and poorer quality sleep. In turn, this was having a negative impact on family relationships.

Dr Maire Kerrin, of Work Psychology Group, a UK occupational psychology consultancy, says: "Working from home isn't always easy and not everyone adapts to it well. Some find it impossible to switch off the BlackBerry while others switch everything off at a set time every day. One of our clients would lock himself in the bathroom to check his emails because the rest of his family got so annoyed with him checking them all the time."

Good managers will implement protocols to help teleworkers manage their time effectively and "switch off", she says.

Vodafone's survey found 24% of respondents felt they had become less productive working from home, saying they were easily distracted and interrupted.

And Dr Axtell's work suggests productivity actually levels off among those working the longest hours, and even drops over time, as tiredness and stress eventually impair performance.

She says: "There is a fine balance between reaping the benefits of greater flexibility and control over when and where a person works versus working longer hours that may encroach detrimentally on personal life.

"However, when the balance is struck well - mobile workers can achieve a better work-life balance, feel a greater sense of control and well-being, and be more efficient and productive."

Now switch off the smartphone and close down the computer.
