An elevator pitch about yourself, often known as a personal elevator pitch, is a quick and concise introduction of your professional background and personal skills. It’s named an “elevator pitch” because it should be possible to deliver it in the time span of an elevator ride, typically 20-30 seconds or around 150-200 words. Here’s an example:
“As a seasoned graphic designer with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in creating visually compelling presentations. I’ve worked across various industries, helping businesses translate their complex ideas into engaging visual stories. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the XYZ University and worked my way up from a junior designer to a team lead at my current company. I have a keen eye for design, a strong understanding of color theory, and I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite. However, it’s not just about creating aesthetically appealing slides for me. I believe in creating designs that can aid in better communication, convey a powerful message, and ultimately lead to business growth. I am currently looking for opportunities where I can utilize my skills to make a significant impact.”
Remember, your personal elevator pitch should ideally highlight your skills, your achievements, and your goals. It’s your chance to present a snapshot of your professional self, so make every word count!
