Modern interview processes give much importance to the JAM Sessions. ‘Just a Minute’ sessions or popularly known as JAM Sessions are the sessions where candidate is required to speak on a certain topic for a minute. The topic might be given to the candidate or he may be asked to choose from a given list.
In most of the cases candidates become nervous while going for a JAM Session. The most crucial part of a JAM Session is how you introduce yourself in it.

Introducing Yourself In A Jam Session
A typical format of introduction consists of your name, name of the place where you belong to and the place from where you have completed your graduation (or if pursuing in some cases). Since in a JAM session you are required to speak about the topic which has been assigned to you so a short and crisp intro is what you need.
For your reference we are providing a short sample intro:
Hello everyone, my name is (Your Name). I am from (city where you belong to). I have done my graduation from (name of university or college from where you have studied) in (the stream from which you have pursued your education). Today I have got an opportunity to express my thoughts on the topic (your topic for that JAM session).
You can change this as per your preference or you might be having an intro better than this. The basic idea here is to prepare an intro so that it does not consume much time and also includes important details about you.
Your introduction is the first impression you will be giving in a JAM session. It’s important that you start your JAM session with confidence and maintaining eye contact with your audience.
Giving your intro confidently will improve your performance in the rest of your remaining JAM session.
