What's an Elevator pitch?
Your elevator pitch is a short statement you’d say when talking to a recruiter for the first time. It’s a brief sound-bite introducing you and describing your background. It should outline your relevant experience, achievements, skills and career goals in a way that convincingly ‘sells’ the benefits of hiring you.
The name suggests you have someone’s attention while sharing an elevator, but it’s far more likely you’ll use your pitch when...
-
networking with recruiters at a jobs fair
-
phoning an employer to enquire about their vacancy
-
in an interview, when they say ‘Tell me about yourself’.
