As if starting a new job (or joining a new organisation) weren't nerve-wracking enough, you might occasionally be asked to introduce yourself using a "fun fact." At this time, it is inevitable that you will forget everything you have accomplished, including your past locations and accomplishments. There won't be anything to say, so you'll just go on about the breed of your dog, the sport you played in high school, or something equally tedious and uninteresting. Not you, exactly. This approach is dishonourable. It is improper for companies to ask staff members to think of fascinating facts. It's sufficient to show up and carry out the tasks you agreed to.
But you might as well be ready in case you find yourself in a scenario where you have to come up with a hilarious fact again, which you will.
The two following are the ideal fun fact:fascinating enough that no one asks you to repeat it; and not so interesting that plenty of follow-up inquiries are asked.It doesn't need to be enjoyable. Fun will be a rarity. You simply need to say something.
1.Your proudest atypical accomplishment:
The year you made every recipe in Deb Perelman’s cookbook, the time you built an Ikea dresser in an hour flat, your Jenga title, your famous Super Bowl dip.
2.Your most prized collection. Whether it’s old coins, stamps, or something less grandfatherly, this is a perfect “fun” fact.
3. Your biggest (nonserious fear). You don’t want to get too vulnerable here (“My biggest fear is death” may chill the room a bit), but if you’ve got a very specific, less common fear, like chipmunks or something, go with that.
4. The first job you wanted when you were a little kid.
5. Your high-school superlative. (Unless you won, like, “Most Popular” or “Most Likely to Succeed.” No, thanks! Keep it to yourself!).
6.Your go-to TV show for comfort bingeing. When you mention The Office, Friends, or The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, folks will say "Ha, same!" and then forget about it.
7. A realisation you made embarrassingly too late. similar to discovering that narwhals are a real kind of animal or the arrow in the FedEx logo.
8. Your favourite celebrity. The finest choices available here fall within the "Totally Kind of Hot" category and are niche relatable rather than universal.
9. Your favourite celebrity encounter. I once witnessed Lindsay Lohan lighting up on a stoop in downtown St. Paul!
