Create your elevator speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is an elevator speech?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An elevator speech is a 30-second personal introduction. This gives you an opportunity to provide everyone you come in contact with the most important information about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What information should I include?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your college, major and your academic interests as well as your area of interest and what type of career you are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example<\/h3>\n\n\n

Hi my name is Rania and I am a Global Studies student at UW Bothell. I am in my junior year and looking for an internship in a non-profit that does work in Africa or South America. Last summer, I worked for Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans and I hope to join the Peace Corps after graduation.\n <\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rania has given an introduction to who they are and what they are looking for; the primary goal is to start a conversation that leads to a connection with that person or someone they know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
