Question

The most widely asked and most widely feared interview question is, "Tell me about yourself." Knowing this question is coming, you should each have a succinct, thoughtful, and meaningful response prepared. This short personal selling statement is often referred to as an elevator pitch because it could be delivered in the span of an elevator ride. Once mastered, this pitch can be used in job interviews, as the basis for cover letters or email introductions, at career fairs, or in more informal social settings. For this assignment, you should deliver a one-minute pitch to help you make a good first impression. You will submit a VIDEO file delivering your message to the audience through the camera (when delivering a video message remember: eye contact is still just as important as in face-to-face interactions, you should select a clear wall or area for the background, you should eliminate background noise or interference, you should center your face in the frame of the screen, etc.). You should use the company and industry knowledge you have gained to frame your qualifications and assets. Your textbook highlights five key parts of an elevator speech: Hook (attention getter) + Information about you What you have to offer Benefits; What is in it for the audience An example or anecdote to summarize A call to action.

Elevator Pitch:

Hi ..I am Chastity Blake, an inquisitive Fashion Designer recently graduated from "The Boston University For Fashion Designing" 7. I have deliberately chosen Fashion designing as my full time career out of my never ending enthusiasm regarding the field and although being a fresher , I assure you that my work is not regarded as that of a freshman. Well I also have business Management as my background which also tends to act as a support in my career field, learning process and in my grooming process too. It makes me more professional and experiential. I mostly specialise in designing clothes for both men and women and my current work catalogue can be found on (website). Looking to find you there.

.

Tips :

Practice it several time and finish speaking it in 60 seconds.

You have to edit your career interest (replace fashion designing and Institute) if required, else follow the same format. (No experience mentioned because the individual is fresher)

All five key parts of elevator pich are covered, so while editing keep them in mind ( hook, information, benefits, audience, and action)

Be confident while making video and act like pro.

Thanks.. :) stay safe
