How to Generate an Elevator Pitch from Your Resume
What Is an Elevator Pitch?
A 30–60 second verbal summary of who you are professionally. Used at networking events, career fairs, the beginning of interviews, and casual professional encounters. The name comes from: what would you say if you had just one elevator ride to introduce yourself?
The 3-Part Structure
Part 1 — Who you are: title + years of experience + specialty (10 seconds). Part 2 — What you've achieved: your single most impressive quantified result (15 seconds). Part 3 — What you're looking for: the type of role/company/problem you want next (10 seconds).
