Your video should effectively showcase not only your professional qualifications but also your personality and teaching passion. The elements listed below form a comprehensive self-presentation that helps recruiters envision you as part of their teaching team. From basic personal information like your name and nationality to your educational credentials and specific teaching experiences, each component plays a vital role in demonstrating your suitability for an English teaching position. Most importantly, sharing your genuine motivation for teaching in Vietnam specifically will help establish a meaningful connection with recruiters who are looking for educators who truly appreciate the cultural context in which they&#8217;ll be working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your full name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Age<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nationality, where you\u2019re from<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educational background:&nbsp;All employers want to know your education. Therefore, you need to mention all the degrees or diplomas as well as the specialties you\u2019ve studied or the certificates you have (TESOL\/TEFL\/CELTA).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Past teaching job experiences (what age groups, subjects etc.): Tell the recruiters how you\u2019ve started and why you chose to become a teacher. Remember to talk about who you are and about what students you want to teach (kids or adults). Show them that you\u2019re passionate about your work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explain why you would love to teach English in Vietnam?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explore This Idea:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/why-do-you-want-to-be-a-teacher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Do You Want to be a Teacher? 15+ Best Interview Answers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-prepare-for-a-self-introduction-video\"><strong>How to prepare for a self-introduction video?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-do-not-look-at-the-paper-and-read-it-like-a-speech-when-recording-your-self-introduction-video\"><strong>1. Do not look at the paper and read it like a speech when recording your&nbsp;self-introduction video<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand it can be scary to record an introduction video. You should try to write all of your information down on paper at least 10 times, by doing this you\u2019ll make sure you understand and remember what you\u2019re talking about. After this, practice to speak in front of a mirror to achieve a more natural pronunciation and improve your body language. You don\u2019t have to follow any specific structures, just stick to your plan and speak confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-speak-clearly-and-not-too-fast\"><strong>2. Speak clearly and not too fast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In some situations, the recruiters will not be good at English. If you speak too fast, no one will hear what you say and your video makes no sense. You should imagine that you\u2019re talking to non-native people who have weak English listening skills and try to make sure they can understand you well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-dress-like-youre-in-a-personal-job-interview-or-in-an-online-class\"><strong>3. Dress like you\u2019re in a personal job interview or in an online class<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The way you dress doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re qualified or not but it\u2019s better if you dress formally. You should brush your hair, wash up, put on light make-up (if you\u2019re a girl) and maybe wear some nice accessories such as a bracelet, watch, or necklace. You won\u2019t feel confident if you wear something that you don\u2019t like or something that doesn\u2019t fit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-keep-smiling-throughout-your-self-introduction-video\"><strong>4. Keep smiling throughout your&nbsp;self-introduction video<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first few seconds of the introduction video, a friendly smile will tell the interviewer you are friendly and enthusiastic. So, if you want your interviewer to relax and enjoy your video then don\u2019t forget to smile. You should practice smiling in front of a mirror to make certain your smile doesn\u2019t look forced or tensed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t forget to brush your teeth. Smiling with spinach between your teeth will definitely leave a wrong impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-record-your-video-in-a-quiet-place\"><strong>5. Record your video in a quiet place<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The mic will pick up all background noises such as traffic, people, etc. It\u2019s important to ask your family members not to enter your room while you\u2019re making an introduction video at home. It\u2019s better if you lock the door and record in a private place or prepare your introduction video when there\u2019s nobody at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to turn off your phone and mute notifications in all social networks (Messenger, Facebook, WhatsApp etc.), because these sounds can disturb you when you record a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-record-several-trial-versions\"><strong>6. Record several trial versions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s almost impossible to make a perfect video in one try. Therefore, you should record 2 or 3 introduction videos before you record your final video in order to check and improve your mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you record your trial video, you can analyze your speech, your facial expressions, your body language and your pronunciation. While watching your trial video, correct the things you don\u2019t like and don\u2019t repeat them in the real video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-tidy-your-room\"><strong>7. Tidy your room<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to appear in the video in a clean room without any distractions in the back. The perfect background for your video is a clean wall without any prints or posters on it. You should record your video from the waist up with your face and hand gestures visible for the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-the-quality-of-your-self-introduction-video\"><strong>8. The quality of your&nbsp;self-introduction video<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to film your video in natural light (sun) \u2013 this is the best option for a high-quality video. In case you can\u2019t find natural light, make sure you use powerful (and close to natural) artificial lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use your smartphone or camera for recording, it doesn\u2019t really matter. It\u2019s even possible to use the built-in webcam of your laptop or PC for this purpose. The only thing you want to keep in mind is that you should take care of the video quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try This Article:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/why-do-you-want-to-work-at-this-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Do You Want to Work at This School? 10 Best Sample Answers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-send-your-self-introduction-video\"><strong>How to send your self-introduction video?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-send-your-self-introduction-video.jpg\" alt=\"How to send your self-introduction video\" class=\"wp-image-14529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-send-your-self-introduction-video.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-send-your-self-introduction-video-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-send-your-self-introduction-video-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>How to send your self-introduction video<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because video files tend to be relatively large in size, Gmail only allows you to attach up to 25MB and Microsoft outlook only allows up to 10MB per email attachment.
