Know Your Elevator Pitch

Prepare a 30 second introduction, or your elevator pitch, to use with employers. Students can practice answering this important question through our Big Interview mock interview platform. You don't want to sound like you are reading a script, but you do want to sound like you thought about why you are there. An elevator pitch might sound something like, "Hello. I'm Wonda Warroir, a senior in Communications studies with an emphasis in Organizational Communications. My experiences include working as an intern for Health Alliance plan leading their social media and internal communiations strategy. I'm looking for a position related to Social Media Content when I graduate this May. I read on your website that (name of organization) has an entry-level position in your corporate marketing department, and would really like to learn more about this role."
