The "Elevator Pitch"

[JDubb]

Everyone needs an elevator pitch which is a quick overview of who you are and the value you can bring to an organization. This overview of your competencies was coined the elevator pitch because the message should be succinct enough to deliver to an important decision maker if you had the chance to ride up in an elevator with him or her.

The elevator pitch is also the perfect response to many interview questions including:

• Tell me about yourself.
  Walk me through your background.
  Why should I hire you?
  What can you do that the other 50 candidates cannot?
