Create the perfect elevator pitch

An Elevator Pitch is the perfect tool to have in your arsenal during your job search!

An Elevator Pitch is a 30-second speech that includes:

  • Who you are
  • What you do
  • Why you are the best at what you do
  • Why you should be considered for employment

This might sound simple, but it takes practice to ensure you provide a great snapshot of yourself, make a great impression, and leave with a job lead or contact.

6 Steps to Develop an Elevator Pitch:

  1. Identify Goals – know your field and details of the type of job you are looking for.
  2. Write it – note everything you would like to portray during your pitch including, education, skills, experience, etc. Don’t be autobiographical, be specific. The goal is to peak their interest, and land you a meeting/interview!
  3. Format & Edit – your pitch should be revised and condensed a number of times. Test it out on your friends, family and co-workers and listen to their feedback.
  4. Tailor Variations – your pitch should be tailored to your audience. Create slight variations of your pitch to use in different situations (e.g.-meeting a CEO, Employee, or networking with Professionals).
  5. Practice – continue reciting your pitch until it comes to you naturally.
  6. Deliver it with enthusiasm and confidence!
