Rehearse Your Elevator Speech
You're only going to get a very limited amount of time to make an
impression on each recruiter -- much less so than in a traditional
job interview -- so the key for you is to develop and rehearse
your elevator speech.
As the name implies, an elevator speech is a relatively short -- typically 15 to 30 seconds
(though sometimes as long as a few minutes) -- commercial that job-seekers use in a variety of
situations (career fairs, networking events, job interviews, cold calling) that succinctly tells the
person you are giving it to who you are, what makes you unique, and the benefits you can provide.
