Whether you are at a career fair or other type of networking event, an elevator pitch can help you stand out from the crowd. Keep in mind that employers spend a lot of time at job fairs listening to a high number of applicants, so it is important to keep your pitch focused on what makes you unique as a possible employee.
Use the following points as a guide for your pitch:
- Introduce yourself.
- Name the field you are working in.
- Describe which type of company you’d like to work in.
- Name your unique selling position (USP) by stating any skills and background information that makes you the best candidate.
- Remember to state the benefits you would bring as an employee.
