An elevator pitch or speech is a 30-60 second overview of your background and career interests, named for the amount of time you would spend riding an elevator up an office building. It is a great opportunity to make a valuable first impression. Can you deliver your value in such a concise manner? Here are 10 tips to help make your elevator speech professional and well-delivered:
