It's time for another #CareerTipTuesday and this week we're focused on giving you the confidence to ace your "30 Second Commercial" with some practice & preparation! . Employers often being interviews with the prompt: "Tell me about yourself." You know it's coming, but you may not know how to answer. . Our Tip: Practice & Prepare your 30 Second Commercial...or what some folks call your "elevator pitch". This is essentially an overview of who you are as a professional & serves as an opportunity to make a strong first impression! . It will be useful in interviews, at career fairs & while networking. Be CONFIDENT, ENTHUSIASTIC & PROFESSIONAL. Your answer should be practiced, but should not sound memorized. Test it out in a mirror or with friends so that you're not robotic!
. But what should you include in your answer? . Experience: What qualifications do you have for the role? What is your background? Your education? What are your strengths & interests that relate to this position? . Skills: What hard & soft skills do you possess relevant to this position? Remember: Hard skills are those technical skills related to the content of the job. Examples may include computer skills, data entry, etc. Soft skills are less technical & often apply to many different positions/work places. They may include communication skills, interpersonal skills, etc. . Accomplishments: What work-related accomplishments benefitted your previous employer? If they may benefit this potential employer, they will likely want to know! . Goals: What are you looking for now & in the future? How does this position fit into those long-term goals? . Remember: Employers are looking for someone who is going to stick around & be of benefit to the organization long-term. Therefore, no matter what the question, reassure the employer that you are the right person for the job by making your answers relevant & specific to the position & organization. . #CareerTipTuesday #WellSuitedForWork #ClothingConfidenceCareer #30SecondCommercial #ElevatorPitch
