Gupy’s “Apresente-se” Field: How to Introduce Yourself, with Examples

Gupy's “Apresente-se” field is a place to connect your background with the role you are applying for. Explain your professional situation, give a relevant example and make the connection to the work. You do not need to squeeze your entire life story into the box.

Gupy is a recruitment platform used by employers in Brazil. “Apresente-se” means “Introduce yourself.” This guide is written in English for readers navigating that application context. Write your actual response in the language requested by the vacancy; an English explanation here is not a reason to submit English to a Portuguese-language process.

Know which part of the application you are changing

Gupy's official profile guide says resume changes carry across active applications, while “Apresente-se” can be customized for each vacancy. Check which section you are editing before you save.

Keep your work history complete and consistent. Use the introduction to explain why selected parts of that history matter for this opening. Follow the prompt and character limit displayed on your screen, rather than aiming for a length copied from a template.

This field also serves a different purpose from the summary at the top of a resume. Your summary introduces your profile; this response can address a specific opportunity directly. For a broader look at where to search, see our job-platform guide.

Gather three pieces of information first

Before drafting, answer these questions:

1. What work needs to be done? Pick one or two core responsibilities, such as maintaining records or resolving chat queries.
2. Where have I done something related? Think of a job, class project, volunteering activity or informal work, and name it accurately.
3. Why does that experience matter here? Explain the connection without promising outcomes you have not delivered.

A useful paragraph moves from your current situation to a relevant experience, then explains your interest in the role. It does not have to follow a rigid sentence formula. If finding evidence is the difficult part, work through our resume-tailoring exercise before choosing two details for your introduction.

Five original examples, with editing notes

These scenarios are fictional and were written for this guide. They are not customer stories, successful application records or text to submit unchanged. Replace the facts with your own, and adapt the language to the vacancy.

First job: use a school project honestly

Imagined role: customer service assistant who helps organize requests.

I recently finished high school and am looking for my first customer service role. For our school science fair, I helped my group register visitors and organize the presentation schedule. I particularly enjoyed explaining the activities and helping people find what they needed. I would like to build on that experience in a customer-facing role and learn how your team records and follows up on requests.

The school activity is clearly identified. It provides something concrete to discuss without being presented as employment. Our first-job resume guide helps you carry that same honesty into the rest of the application.

Administration: describe the routine behind the skill

Imagined role: administrative assistant handling order records.

My experience in a small retail business combines customer service with administrative support. I updated the order spreadsheet, organized payment receipts and contacted suppliers about outstanding deliveries. I use Excel filters and sums to keep records organized. This opportunity interests me because it brings together order tracking and coordination across teams, both of which were part of my previous day-to-day work.

Instead of saying “highly organized,” this applicant explains what they organized. The wording also avoids claiming advanced Excel skills based on a limited set of functions.

Customer support: show how you handle a request

Imagined role: digital customer support.

I work in customer service, handling questions about orders and returns. I record the request, check the relevant procedure and pass cases to another team when needed, keeping the customer informed. I am interested in this role because it includes written support and case follow-up. I would bring clear communication and careful record-keeping to that work.

This describes a working practice rather than promising perfect customer satisfaction. Mention a support tool only if you have used it; the employer's software name is not something to add solely because it appears in the listing.

Technology: be clear about where the experience came from

Imagined role: junior developer working with Python and tests.

I am completing a technical course in software development. For a class project, I built a CSV validator in Python and wrote tests for missing data and invalid formats. The project taught me to investigate failures and document how to reproduce them. I am looking for a junior role where I can apply that foundation, learn through code review and develop my testing skills.

The applicant offers technical substance while making the academic context clear. They do not imply commercial deployment, production traffic or professional experience that the project did not involve.

Career change: explain the connection

Imagined role: operations assistant, for someone moving from reception work.

I started my career on the reception team at a clinic, organizing appointments, recording requests and coordinating schedule changes with different professionals. I am now moving toward operations work and have completed an introductory spreadsheet course to support that transition. I see a connection between my experience following up on requests and the coordination tasks in this role. I would like to develop that foundation within an operations team.

The course supports the transition. It does not replace experience or suggest that the applicant has already worked in the new profession.

Replace broad claims with questions you can answer

Generic line	Better question to ask yourself
“I thrive on challenges”	What difficult task have I actually handled?
“I want to grow with your company”	Which part of this work do I want to develop?
“I have excellent communication skills”	Have I explained procedures, written case notes or presented a project?
“I can add a lot of value”	Which experience relates to a responsibility in this opening?

Avoid praising a company culture you do not know. If you mention the employer, use a specific, verifiable reason such as its product or customer group. Leave identification numbers, a full street address and unrelated personal information out of the introduction.

Read it aloud before submitting

Could you explain the situation behind every sentence in an interview? Does the first line make your background clear? Have you named a tool you have never used, or left another employer's name in the text? Cut anything that sounds impressive but would be difficult to defend.

Can AI help write this field?

Yes, as an editing aid. Give it confirmed facts and the job description, and tell it to ask about missing details instead of inventing them. Then replace wording you would never use in conversation. The final paragraph should prepare the ground for a real discussion about your work.
