• • 20+ Elevator Pitch Examples You Need to Get Hired

    
    What do you say when you meet someone for the first time? 
    Whether you are meeting the person in a career fair or an online platform, you would have to introduce yourself to the person anyway. I am sure you want the person to know some specific things about you (Your selling points).
    Well, in this article I will be showing you some great elevator pitch examples you need to get hired fast.
    Just before we get into that… what is an elevator pitch?
    
    

    What is an Elevator Pitch?

    An elevator pitch is a quick compelling speech about yourself that is used to evoke interest in a person, project or people. It highlights your ideas, your values, what makes you different, and makes the prospect want to hear more from you.
    In simple terms, an elevator pitch is a summary of who you are and what you do in a short time. It is giving an introduction about yourself in the time that it would take you to ride on an elevator (that is why it is called an “elevator pitch”).
    Here is one surprising thing about an elevator pitch you probably did not know;
    Anytime you respond to questions like;
    • Can you tell me about yourself?
    • What do you do?
    • Who are you?
    You are saying something in response to that question, right? But the question here is:
    • What are you saying?
    • How are you saying it?
    For the first part, you are already giving your ‘elevator pitch’ especially if it is in a career fair, conference, etc. Even if you don’t know it. 
    Now, how are you saying it? Probably not good enough because you are not aware of what you are doing.
    Since you can give an elevator pitch without even knowing it, what then is a good elevator pitch?
    A good elevator pitch is one that will make people sincerely interested in you, helps you land a dream job, and probably help you build a lasting relationship.
    If you are meeting a prospect for the first time, you may be too anxious to deliver a great elevator pitch on- the-spot.
    You don’t have to worry if you are scared or don’t feel comfortable pitching yourself because you’ve got you covered with our 20+ elevator pitch examples you can use anywhere, anytime.
    Ready? Let’s dive in:
    
    
    
    
    You may not find it easy to write an exciting elevator pitch especially if you are writing one for the first time. So, to ensure you write a good elevator pitch, you can take a look at these elevator pitch examples to create a good one for yourself.
    We will take a look at some elevator pitch example for different purposes like;
    • Elevator pitch examples for job seekers.
    • Elevator pitch examples for job interviews.
    • Elevator pitch for business owners.

     

    Elevator Pitch Examples for Job Seekers

    If you are actively searching for a job, then you may have to give an elevation pitch from time to time during your job search. 
    Whether you are attending a career fair or meeting a prospect in a casual setting you may have to give an elevation pitch to get the attention of the prospect and maybe probably get the job.
    Your elevator pitch should answer these questions:
    • Who are you?
    • What do you do?
    • Why should the recruiter listen to you?
    • What do you want?
    If it still feels a bit challenging for you to frame your elevator pitch around these questions, then you can just take a look at these elevator pitch examples to form your own. 
    
    
    Career fair elevator pitch examples
    1. If you are looking to change your career, your elevator pitch can be something like this:
    “I am a salesperson but I specialize in sales management and sales promotion. I currently work at ABC group of companies and my team is coming up with a sales promotion strategy that will help companies reduce promotion costs by 45% which will be launched at the end of the year. 
    I thrive on learning new things and meeting people that share the same background with me, and I am also thinking of changing my job as soon so I am willing to learn about work environments in different companies.”
    2. Communications/Customer Service Elevator Pitch Example
    “I recently graduated from university with a degree in English Language and communications. I worked at the university radio station as a reporter and news editor, ever since then I have developed an interest in journalism.
    I am currently looking for an internship opportunity that will put my journalism skills into play.”
    
    
    Note: You can see that this elevator pitch answers the questions above. So, let’s take a look at some examples from other job fields.
    
    
    3. Medical/Health Elevator Pitch Example
    “Hi, my name is Sharon, I am a dentist. I am very passionate about dental health which is why I studied dentistry at the university. After a few months of interning as a dentist, I want to plunge my dentistry career by taking a full-time job in a dental company.
    I believe that taking a full-time dentist job will open me up to real-life challenges that will thus help me thrive in my career.”
    
    
    4. Media/Branding Elevator Pitch Example
    “I am john; I create designs and illustrations for websites and brands. I am passionate about expressing ideas in creative ways. I am currently interning as an illustrator and graphic designer for a publishing firm, but I want to take the bold step to push my career by starting up my creative agency. 
    I know that starting up a business has its challenges. I know that you have been managing your company for years; I would love to get some entrepreneur’s tips for you.”
    
    
    5. ICT Elevator Pitch Example
     “I am John Adebayo, I am a graduate of the University of Lagos with a degree in computer engineering. I have interned in some companies after my graduation where I worked as an IT support Executive, but in my spare time, I focus on AI and how I can use it to solve real-life human challenges. 
    I am currently working on a project that will eventually solve communication problems for small businesses. I think I am more passionate about AI, and I would love to get a job with a company that focuses on AI. I think it will take me a step ahead in my career.”
    
    
    6. Digital Marketing Elevator Pitch Example
    “Hi I am Sandra, many people believe that the ultimate goal of any business is to make sales whether it be goods or services, which is what has formed my ideas of sales ever since before I got to understand the power of strategy. 
    I am passionate about sales, but I currently realized that being more strategic can help me meet my target faster than I expect it. Discovering SEO has opened me up to different online strategies that I can apply to achieve more sales.
    I am currently developing my career, and I know that digital marketing is one aspect that I want to grow. So, I am open to a digital marketing intern role to push my career to the next stage”
    
    
    7. Sales/Marketing Elevator Pitch Example
    “I fell in love with sales after winning my department best salesperson of the year award at my university. This led to me pursuing a career in sales. I have interned as a sales executive for a few months. I am currently taking a course in sales to improve my knowledge in sales. 
    I am currently looking for job opportunities in sales in a bigger company.”
    
    
    8. Accounting Elevator Pitch Example
    “I have always loved calculation and finance even if I have not had tangible experience in accounting until I started interning at ABC Group of Companies. I enjoyed my stay at ABC Group of Companies, but now I am looking for an opportunity to practice accounting as a staff member rather than an intern.”
    
    
    9. Human Resources Elevator Pitch Example
    “Hi, I am Julia a fresh graduate of Human and Personnel Development. I have not had human resources work experience asides from my undergraduate studies at the university. Studying human resources at the University of Lagos has helped me build my passion for human resources. 
    Now I look forward to gaining practical experience in human resources. I am looking for an internship position that will help me gain practical human resource experience.”
    
    
    10. Education Elevator Pitch Example
    “Hi, my name is Grace. I have been passionate about and involved in literacy and educational activities right from my neighborhood to my church. Studying education at the university helped me even appreciate education better. 
    I strongly believe in nurturing and educating children to become better and knowledgeable children, and helping children become educated is more than a career, it is a rewarding process for me. 
    I am currently looking for a position that will help me educate children. I would like to get some advice on the best position to look out for.”
    
    
    11. Research Elevator Pitch Example

    I am now looking for a permanent role in research that will help me put my communication skills in practice."
    
    

    Job Interview Elevator Pitch

    “So, what do you do?” or “tell me about yourself?”
    This question usually makes many job seekers confused. As much as you want to prepare for job interview questions and answers, you should also be prepared to sell yourself to your potential employer.
    If you are not prepared to answer questions like; so, what do you do or tell me about yourself, then you may experience some level of frustration when the recruiter suddenly asks you these questions. This is where the importance of the elevator pitch comes in.
    Preparing an elevator pitch before going for an interview will help you ace your job interview. If you are preparing for a job interview and you don’t know how to write an elevator pitch, then these elevator pitch examples are what you need.

    I have worked for a few years as a web developer for small companies, but in my previous job, I have to develop softwares due to the expansion of the company and client requests. To open myself up to other possibilities I decided to work part-time so that I can have time for personal projects.
    Carrying out personal projects and working with other companies has made me a full stack developer. I am now looking forward to consultancy positions considering my experience and expertise which is why I am applying for this position.”
    
    
    16. If You are a Fresh Graduate with no Work Experience
    “Hello, I am Steve. I am currently a first-class accounting graduate from the University of Benin. I am very active in my school’s Academic Association, and as an accountant for the association, I have kept records of the associations.
    During my year at the university, I had worked as a volunteer accountant during my holidays. I have also helped different people keep an account for free because of my passion for accounting. I have always known that I wanted to become an accountant even from my early years in secondary school.

  About the Project Qualifications
  In the past decade, states in the North East region of Nigeria have faced frequent attacks by Boko Haram militants leading to widespread displacement, violations of national laws, international humanitarian and human rights laws, and a deepening humanitarian crisis. Children, who are the most vulnerable members of society, have suffered the worst impacts as pre-existing problems of access to social protection, education and healthcare increase, new threats emerge, and the systems to protect children fails.
  
  This project aims to ensure that children verified and separated from CJTF receive a comprehensive child protection package including counselling, psychosocial support and socio-economic reintegration, and that their communities understand the importance of their separation and reintegration. Search will work closely with the children, their families and communities, and CJTF to address the psychosocial and economic needs of the children and to influence the attitudes of communities and CJTF so they understand the negative impact of associating with armed groups on children and prevent the CJTF from using children. By increasing the resilience of children associated with CJTF and increasing their employability, this project will facilitate lasting reintegration of these children and amplify positive narratives around their role in communities as productive civilian actors and agents for peace.

  About the Project
  
  • In the past decade, states in the North East region of Nigeria have faced frequent attacks by Boko Haram militants leading to widespread displacement, violations of national laws, international humanitarian and human rights laws, and a deepening humanitarian crisis. Children, who are the most vulnerable members of society, have suffered the worst impacts as pre-existing problems of access to social protection, education and healthcare increase, new threats emerge, and the systems to protect children fails.
