Get Real-Time Feedback on Your 30-Second Commercial
Your “elevator pitch” – or 30-second commercial – is a brief statement describing a professional product called Y-O-U! What sets you apart from others? How can you ensure that your 30-second commercial is memorable and generates interest and conversation? Your effectiveness depends on your ability to explain what makes you unique and to hook your listener – in less than a minute. Improve your comfort level in talking about yourself – clearly, consistently, and smoothly – and get feedback on your 30-second commercial
Facilitated by a TBJL Career Strategist
WHAT IS LINKS: LINKS is an acronym for Leads, Information, Networking, Know-how, and Strategies. It is an educational and motivational program designed to help candidates prepare for the week ahead and to share conversation, contacts, and job-search information in a relaxed, welcoming environment. For the unemployed professional, LINKS is a “place to go” to focus on the job search when others go to work on Monday Mornings. LINKS sessions are free and open to the public. Reservations are required.
