THE PITCH
Imagine stepping into an elevator and
standing next to someone who says, “Hi,
I’m a recruiter at your dream organization.
Tell me about yourself.” Could you
concisely introduce yourself, your
background and your career aspirations
in the time of a quick elevator ride—30
seconds or less?
The goal of your elevator pitch is
to provide a recruiter with enough
background information and enthusiasm
so that he or she wants to learn more
about you.
Employer Directory / 34
Think of your pitch
in three parts:
1.
Who are you? Share your name and place
yourself in context by explaining what school
you attend, what you’re studying or where
you currently work.
2.
What are your major accomplishments, passions, or unique skills? Frame them in a way
that is meaningful to a potential employer.
3.
What do you want or where are you going?
Let the recruiter know what you’re looking
for and the topic you’re interested in talking
about. Don’t be pushy or aggressive, but do
be forthright about the fact that you’re looking for a job or internship.
Example:
“Hi, my name is John Smith. I’m currently a
junior majoring in international studies with
a minor in Chinese language. I spent last
semester in Beijing, where I studied and held
an exciting internship with a small American
marketing firm working with Beijing’s tourism agency. I saw that your firm has added
some Chinese clients lately, which is why I’m
eager to apply for one of your internships.”
