Perfecting Your Elevator Pitch

An elevator pitch or speech is nothing less than crucial in the labor markets of today and tomorrow. Given the speed of today's express elevators, one must deliver a pitch that is effective, succinct, and resonates with the listener.
Everything matters: words, phrasing, even how one might pause and breathe; and it has to be comfortable, personable, and conversational. There's a site called: http://www.15secondpitch.com/new/ to help you achieve this very goal: to create a memorable first impression and plant yourself firmly in the mind of your listener should they encounter something that could showcase your skills and talents.
Certified Professional Resume Writer and PIC Manager of Adult Career Services Maureen Nelson will be our guest speaker Thursday, October 21st for the sole purpose of listening to our elevator pitches and helping us fine tune them for the best impact in a short amount of time.
