Elevator Pitch
This 20-40 second speech is expected from you as
approach a company representative at the career
fair.
The goal is to introduce yourself, give the person a
quick sense of who you are and what your
interests are, and present your resume and
highlight a few strengths that you have to offer
employers.
Your elevator pitch is your introduction and should
demonstratetwo to three key skills that you
believe are critical to your career and that
set you apart from the competition.

Elevator Pitch
At a minimum your Elevator Speech should include:
your name
major
year in school or graduation date if looking for full-time
work
type of position you are seeking (full-time or internship)
when you are available to start and/or the time window
of when you want to work if seeking an internship
why you would like to work for the employer and/or why
their position appeals to you
a request for them to review your resume and consider
you for an interview

Elevator Pitch
Additional items to include when possible:
any connection to the employer. If you have a
connection to the employer, highlight it!
special qualifications that you want to highlight.
Sometimes your classes, skills, and interest areas highly
align with the company.
For example, if you are talking to a chemical processor
and you are in a class focused on fluid flow problems,
you might mention that you are very excited about
what you are learning in that class and how it would
apply to their systems. Perhaps you are a active
SHESS member and you have done project
management or experience that aligns with their
job descriptions.
