Sunil Kalikayi4/8/20265 min read

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).
