Description:

100 Level - No experience necessary

First of all, don't take the advice of this guy....

Instead, know exactly where your sentence will go when you start it. Spend some time before interview day practicing your "elevator speech." An Elevator Speech is exactly what it sounds like... a speech short enough to be given in a single elevator ride. 

BRAINSTORM YOUR SPEECH!

  1. Think about your skills 
  2. Think about your passions
  3. Think about your experience

OUTLINE IT!

  1. Your speech should only be 30 seconds long, so make sure you choose relevant skills, passions and experience.
  2. Don't just list them out, you don't want to sound like a robot, you should sound like you!

PRACTICE!

**Remember, don't just practice in the mirror (although try that too), but also practice in front of a friend or family member to make sure you have that human element going on**

SHOW US!

Submit the elevator speech about yourself that you create after you practice before the big day!
