Frequently Asked Questions
What is an elevator pitch?
A concise, compelling introduction that explains who you are, what you do, and what you're looking for — in about 30 seconds (the length of an elevator ride). It's your answer to "Tell me about yourself."
How long should it be?
30–60 seconds spoken, roughly 75–150 words. Shorter is better. You want to spark interest and start a conversation, not deliver a monologue. Practice until it feels natural, not scripted.
Should I memorize it word-for-word?
Memorize the structure, not the exact words. Know your 4 beats (who, what, proof, ask) cold, but let the phrasing be slightly different each time. This prevents the robotic delivery that comes from pure memorization.
