What is an Elevator Speech? 

• An elevator speech (or elevator pitch) is a brief, persuasive speech that you can use to spark interest in what you or your organization does. It’s typically:
• 30 to 60 seconds long — about the length of an elevator ride.
• Clear and concise, explaining who you are, what you do, and what you’re looking for.
• Used in networking situations, job interviews, career fairs, or even chance meetings.
• The goal is to quickly engage your listener and leave them wanting to know more

During the Job Fair

• Smile, maintain good eye contact, and present a firm handshake when introducing yourself.
• Even though a job fair is a more relaxed atmosphere than a formal interview, it is still part of the interview process.
