You’ve heard of salespeople making pitches for their products? Entrepeneurs unveiling their ideas for new ventures? Carnival barkers pitching the next show?
“Come one, come all . . . to the greatest show on earth,” calls the ringmaster at a three-ring circus. That’s one of the oldest pitches in the world.
If you’re looking for a job, you need to attract almost as much attention to your search. Start by penning yourself a pitch. Know it and show it to everyone you meet.
A pitch for a job is often called an ‘elevator’ statement. It has to be short enough to say between floors . . . and strong enough to create a memorable impression. It should promote your best side. It’s your personal commercial.
After introducing yourself, try saying something like this: “I’m a frustrated writer, looking for a job. Can you recommend an employer who needs someone who’s good with words?”
Or, “I want a job I’ll love. Do you know of anyone who needs an enthusiastic employee like me?”
Practice your pitch and make it to everyone you meet. Sooner or later, it’ll open your eyes to the right opportunity.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
