Elevator Speech

Throughout this course, one of the main goals has been a focus on the importance of effective communication and collaboration with the families of infants and pre-school aged children. 

Throughout your career, you will need to utilize effective communication skills with colleagues, families, and children. As a professional, you will also need to communicate your beliefs to potential employers.  
 

An elevator speech is an excellent way to convey your skills while networking and seeking employment. 

Typically, an elevator speech is a one or two paragraph summary of:

1. who you are, 

2. why you are qualified, and 

3. what you have to offer the organization or industry. 

A brief sales pitch will ensure that you are prepared to discuss your career goals whenever the opportunity presents itself. 

Some examples of where you could use your elevator speech are at a networking event, during a job interview, at a back-to-school parent meeting, or in a social setting.
