This is my first time writing a elevator pitch speech. I am a Lead Supply Technician at the VA Hospital. I train new Supply Techs, I communicate with Doctors, Nurses, and Staff about products and substitutes for products that are out of stock. I am the VP of the Union, and a member of the Emergency Response Team. I'm trying to make a great speech about my communication skills, teaching skills, and problem solving skills.

Thanks for sharing. We all need this when we network with others too. I also think that showing genuine interest to others is important too. Because other would reciprocate.

[@ShaunalCole]

The pitch is so important! This is a great resource for job seekers and entrepreneurs too. It's also key that candidates and entrepreneurs practice this pitch so they are really comfortable walking an employer or client through it.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Yes! I love that you mentioned to practice. You're absolutely correct. You don't want it to sound rehearsed. Just natural. Thanks for watching.

I was recently retrenched, and followed most, if not all of your tips on job interviews! One the same questions you taught on this channel was a question at the job interview! And I nailed it 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 I got the job eventually❤🇿🇦. Question: Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

[@forthcareerstrategy]

Love this guidance and advice for an elevator pitch! Specifically, it's helpful to include a call to action. I do think that makes it more of a conversation starter verses a memorized statement! Thank you!!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

USEFUL MADAM

[@Kane090111]

stumbled across this and was perfect for what I needed. I have a question though, I currently have 2 career paths I focus on, that have the ability to overlap but not currently and wasn't sure if I should have 2 pitches or combine them. The experience I have in one path would help attract clients in the other, but unsure if it's too messy to say "hi I'm Kane and I'm a operations supervisor and a mindset coach" if that makes sense

[@shostoppah111]

Dealing with a similar issue. Just a suggestion to incorporate your mindset coaching style into operation management creating a unique niche in your pitch. 😉 good luck

[@empoweredselftrust]

Thank you Heather, you give such great advice. I’ve been watching your videos and taking notes. I completely changed my resume and CV I spent a whole weekend on them. However, it’s been over a week and I have not received any job interviews or call backs. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Keep at it! My recommendation would be spend any extra time you have on your network. You’ve got this!

Perhaps thinking about ’words’ not statements/phrases works for reducing the time. Also, people want to hear what they are going to get out of it. So it’s 10/20. 10 sec what we do, 20 sec how / why they would want to hire/ be interested in our business.

I do not want to sound rude, but I think you should practice your own elevator pitch. It took you 3 minutes to start talking about the 4 steps. I waited to see what you were going to say. Then when you finally started talking about the 4 steps the answers to the questions were the common answers that people do. If someone talks to me the same way that most people do I lose interest.
