How To: Prepare the Perfect Elevator Speech

So...you have 60 seconds to sell yourself to a potential employer...go!

Keep it SHORT

Ideally 45 seconds. Remember to be clear, concise and compelling.

Tell them what you will BRING

What skills can you offer, and what results can you provide?

Be PREPARED 

and know exactly what message you want your potential employer to walk away with.

TAILOR

your elevator pitch. You don’t want to want to sound like a robot, but you do want to tailor your speech for different situations.

Be CONFIDENT 

in yourself, and what you have to offer.

PRACTICE makes perfect

The more your practice, the more natural it will sound and the better your  delivery will be.

RELAX

with your elevator pitch and don’t be too serious! People respond to anything that makes them smile.
