Even if you want to link in your professional achievements, you should try to link it in an interesting manner and project it as something that fits in with your personality, your drive and your ambition to contribute meaningfully to society in some way. It is important to sound a little different from others when you are asked this question.That way your interview will start on a fresh note.

Sir my question is also regarding how to answer "introduce yourself" question. I would like to know What sequence one should follow while answering this question i.e. should one start by telling abt my present position (Professional achievements) ---> then academic details (College and school education) ----> Hobbies, family etc. or vice versa? Also sir what would be an ideal time limit for answer to this question in a PI?

u can say that u r quite focused about ur goals n were so much taken by the idea of getting a good score that u even left ur good job..
make it sound like a sacrifice.. make it ur strength n not weakness..

hope this helps..
