JVS JOB-SEEKERS VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: The One-Minute Me

PLEASE NOTE: This event is virtual and advance registration is required.

This is THE question that is often asked first in an interview. It’s also one of the first things people ask when they meet someone new. Every encounter is an opportunity to network. So, crafting your elevator pitch to be succinct, relevant, and interesting takes practice.

In this webinar we will discuss how to structure your “One Minute Me” for various scenarios including interviews, informational interviews, unplanned casual encounters and more.

What do we want others to know about us in 60 seconds? How do we write a follow up email or LinkedIn message after meeting someone for the first time?

Having a well-practiced elevator pitch is a great strategy for preparing for interviews and expanding your network.

There will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation.
