Make an Elevator Pitch

2/14/2020

0 Comments

 
“As a former athlete, you have a built-in advantage in explaining why you are special. Weaving a tidbit or two into your elevator pitch about what you learned and what you accomplished as an athlete will make your pitch more powerful and memorable.”
  • Open: Who you are and why you are the best person for the job.
  • Why are you valuable? List your soft skills such as leadership, teamwork, time management, etc. that you learned while competing.
  • Close: Why you think you are the best candidate.
  • Practice: aloud in front of a mirror or with friends until it feels and sounds totally natural.
