Hello and welcome to the Center for Success Career Talk Podcast, a series that provides tips and advice for fine-tuning your resume, networking and getting that first job. The hosts for the series are members of the Center for Success at St. Xavier University in Chicago. Hello and thank you for joining our final presentation in the Career Talk series.
My name is Alexander Mendoza from the Center for Success at St. Xavier University. We will test how far you've come along in professional development by summarizing the entire series into a 30-second description, your elevator pitch. When summarizing yourself for an elevator pitch, you'll want to keep things concise and persuasive.
A basic outline for an elevator pitch will include your name with most recent or your highest accomplishment, relevant job experience with translatable professional characteristics, and then finally aspirations or interests within your applied company. First we'll begin with typical conversation points when networking, like your name, what school you've attended, and then your major. Next we'll delve into relevant coursework or a practical background that you may have with goals to gain more experience. Alternatively, with a more experienced pitch, you will start off the same, giving name, major, any personal information with more of an emphasis on experience and research topics.
As we gain more familiarity with the job sector, our pitch may be filled with more relevant talking points. We must ensure that with every gained experience, not to oversaturate our pitch and keep things concise and persuasive. When practicing your elevator pitch, you'll want to think about everything that you've researched thus far and handpicked the necessary backgrounds to showcase yourself the best. Thank you for joining me today.
