When and how to use an elevator speech

If you are looking for a job, you can use your elevator pitch for potential employers and online in your LinkedIn summary or Twitter bio. An elevator speech is a great way to gain confidence in introducing yourself to hiring managers and company representatives.
You can use your elevator pitch to introduce yourself at networking events. If you are attending professional association programs and events, or any other type of gathering, have your pitch ready to share with those you meet.
Your elevator pitch can be used during job interviews, especially when you are asked about yourself. Interviewers often begin with the question, “tell me about yourself”. Think of your elevator pitch as a super-condensed version of your response to that request.
