How to Formally Introduce Yourself in Just Four Sentences.

Many things seem easy until you try to do them. One of such is introducing yourself in a formal setting.

When you attend a seminar or job interview or you need to make a presentation, how do you introduce yourself without making a mess of yourself?

This article will show you how to introduce yourself in a formal setting with just four sentences.

Sentence1: Greeting

A simple Good morning, Hello or something similar is okay. It’s also a good idea to accompany it with a gentle smile.

Sentence 2: Your name

Those are examples of a good connection statement.
