In addition to writing a \u2018Canadian style resume,\u2019 it\u2019s also vital to include a well-written \u2018elevator pitch\u2019. An \u2018elevator pitch\u2019 or career goal is a quick summary that describes your professional goals and the value you can offer. You can use an elevator pitch in many situations including interviews, networking conversations, cover letters, and of course, your resume. With clear examples of an elevator pitch, you\u2019ll be able to write an effective pitch with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linda Ryan:<\/span><\/strong> At a high level, an elevator pitch is a communication tool that will help you to promote yourself in a clear and concise way. That\u2019s why it\u2019s called an elevator pitch. For example, you should be able to say it within 30 seconds, about the time you\u2019d spend riding an elevator with someone. But, before you\u2019re ready to say your pitch, you need to prepare to write it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
