As you continue in this course, we want you to get to know more about your classmates. As a way of introduction, create an initial elevator speech, otherwise known as your 60-second commercial. Imagine that you are in an elevator, and the president of the company you wish to work for enters. Because you are serious about your career, you consider this an excellent opportunity to introduce yourself. Write out your elevator speech for this assignment.

Consider the following items and questions:

• Your proudest accomplishments
• Your key strengths
• Relevant work experience
• Volunteer experience
• What is it you are trying to "sell" or let others know about you?
• Why are you interested in the company or industry the person represents?

Once you have written your elevator speech, post it to the Discussion Board.
