Personal Presentations for Job-Hunters

If you are looking for a new job, or career, it helps to have a rehearsed 30 to 60-second elevator pitch – a summary of what you have done and more importantly, what you CAN do. (We also have a version for freelancers or startups.)

Use your Elevator Pitch when introducing yourself to people you meet, either in person or on the phone. Use it on your resumé, in your email signature or even when leaving a voicemail message.

You can even use it when meeting someone you have known for a long time – they may be able to pass your info to a prospective employer.

Create Your Elevator Pitch Here

This website will help you summarize your strengths and give you a script to use for those occasions where you have a minute (or less) to sell yourself.

In the following screens, you just answer a few questions about yourself and the website will generate several draft pitches for you.

Most of the questions are simple, but some such as “What is your passion? “What can you actually deliver?” and “If you had a motto, what would it be?” may make you think. Your answers to these questions are your own.

The Job-Hunter Elevator Pitch part of this website does not store any of your information (our privacy policy is coming soon, and it's shorter than the iTunes one). If you want to modify or save the information, select and copy the pitch into a document.

Practice and Perfect

Because you typically have less than a minute to make an impression, it is worthwhile to practice the pitch until you feel that it reflects well on what you have to offer. It should come out so naturally you can say it in your sleep.

Keep improving your pitch to keep it current and primarily reflecting what you can do for the listener. Don’t forget to end the pitch with an open-ended question so you can learn more about what are the listener’s needs.
