Elevator Pitch is the backbone of your intern or career search and summarizes who you are and your strengths/benefits.

It consists of:

Who you are

Your educational background

Your professional background

Your job objective

Relevant accomplishments/benefits

You will use it:

Cover letters
Informational Interviews
Phone calls/Networking
Hiring Interviews

Keep in mind:

Your audience & what they are interested in

Who your likely competitors are

What you offer that the competition does not

Additional pointers:

Be relevant and at the proper level

Be able to tailor it to fit the situation (i.e. phone v. face to face)

Keep it conversational, not “laundry list”

PRACTICE! Show ENTHUSIASM!

Evaluate the problem areas or red flags in your record

Review your values and how they relate to the company or job

Know your strengths/weaknesses.
