Good morning, everyone. Thank you for giving me a minute to introduce myself.
My name is [Your Name], and most people call me [short name]. I come from [Town], which is known for [one thing about the town]. I did my schooling at [School] and completed my [degree] from [College] in [year].
About my work: for the last [number] years I have worked at [previous place], where I looked after [your main task]. The part of the work I enjoy most is [something specific, for example solving a customer's problem or making a messy sheet clean]. If this is your first job or first year, say instead what you enjoyed most in your studies and one project you are proud of.
Outside work, I like [one or two hobbies]. On a free Sunday you will probably find me [doing what]. I am also learning [a new skill], slowly but steadily.
I am new here, so I will have many questions in the first few weeks: where things are, how things are done and who does what. Please be patient with me. In return, I promise to learn fast, to be on time and to help wherever I can.
I am very happy to join [class, team or company name], and I look forward to knowing each of you. Thank you.
हिंदी में छोटा भाषण
Short version in Hindi
सभी को नमस्कार। मेरा नाम [आपका नाम] है। मैं [शहर] से हूँ। मैंने अपनी [कक्षा या डिग्री] [स्कूल या कॉलेज] से पूरी की है। मुझे [एक शौक] पसंद है और नई चीज़ें सीखना अच्छा लगता है। आज थोड़ी घबराहट है, पर यहाँ आकर बहुत ख़ुशी भी है। मुझे उम्मीद है कि हम सब मिलकर अच्छा काम करेंगे। धन्यवाद।
Make it yours
A ready speech gets you started; your own details make people listen. Before you use this one:
- Fill every bracket with a true detail before you speak. A blank in a self-introduction is worse than a short one.
- Sixty seconds is the right length unless you are asked for more.
- Do not begin with "Myself"; say "My name is" or "I am".
- Add one true detail from your own school, office or family. It is the line people will remember.
- Read it aloud with a timer and cut what you do not need. The speech timer shows the time for any draft.
