Elevator Speeches and Interview Skills

by | Jun 3, 2010

Everyone knows that the perfect place to make career connections is the elevator. So it occurred to me that the topic might be a great one to explore on the next HigherEdCareerCoach BlogTalkRadio show.

Then Mike Severy, who was a guest on the show last week, had to go and reinforce this idea, when his tweet about an article on Inc. Magazine about the topic:

So this is what we’ll talk about this Friday. (I’m adding the topic of interview skills because I think it is relevant. We’ll give feedback about that, too.)

But I’m hoping to do even more.

They say that practice makes perfect. Well, here’s the time for you to practice. Call in to the show and introduce yourself. Deliver your elevator speech. Get feedback from me, the co-hosts and maybe even the audience.

We’ll also corner callers into answering some questions in a “mini-mock interview,” and give feedback about that.

I hope you will join us and consider calling in (to get or give advice and comments.)  When the show is on live, you can call in to (347) 989-0055 or go to the show page and click on the Skype Click-to-Talk button (Blue “S” logo above the show summary.)

Please listen and call in. Your engagement could be really helpful to job seekers.

I help higher ed professionals take control of their careers with tailored services including resume and CV development, LinkedIn profile optimization and networking strategy, interview coaching, and one-on-one career guidance.

I can enthusiastically recommend Sean’s services as a career coach. He was the only coach I could find who understood how higher education works and the intricacies of the hiring process.

Sean’s advice, resume, and cover letter work is excellent, but the most helpful for me was his interview prep. The practice sessions were incredibly helpful and significantly boosted my confidence in interviews. 10 out of 10.

Thanks.
