Qu'est-ce que Elevator pitch ?
Definition
An elevator pitch is a concise 30–90 second oral presentation that summarises who you are professionally, what you do, what sets you apart and what you are looking for. It must be memorable, clear and tailored to the audience.
In practice
Recommended structure: Who I am (1 sentence) → What I do / my value add (1–2 sentences) → What I'm looking for (1 sentence) → Open question to engage the conversation. Use it at networking events, at the start of an interview or when asked «Tell me about yourself».
Key takeaway
Prepare 2–3 versions of your elevator pitch for different contexts (informal networking, formal interview, recruiter outreach). Memorise the structure, not the script word for word.
