Elevator Speech

Presenting your skills directly and persuasively is sometimes called a “Me in 30 Seconds” statement or an “elevator speech”  It is a simple way to present to someone else a balanced understanding of who you are. It piques the interest of a listener who invites you to “Tell me a little about yourself,” and it provides a brief and compelling answer to the question “Why should I hire you?”

What Should it Include?

We’ll help you craft your “Me in 30 Seconds” statement which should include:

• A brief personal introduction that includes your career objective or the type of position you want.
• Three or four specific accomplishments that prove you meet or exceed the requirements for that position.
• A few character traits or adaptive skills that set you apart from typical applicants.
