If you were impacted in the white-collar recession and suffered a job loss—or are worried about being the next to go—it is mission-critical for you to create an elevator pitch.

Start by studying the job description, looking at the people working in your space at your target companies and searching online to learn all about the firm, its mission statements, products and services. The rationale is that you want a comfortable understanding of the business, the types of folks who work at the organization and a vibe check on what’s happening at the company.

Think of why you’re an excellent match for the job. If the job description has 10 bullet points, ensure you can address all the requirements. Prepare answers for each requirement listed in the job advertisement. The goal is to demonstrate that you have the right background and experience for the job.

Come to the interview, whether online or on-site, with a smile, positive attitude and confident body language. State your full name and offer a couple of sentences about your job, responsibilities, why you want the role and the compelling reasons why you’re the perfect fit.In addition to interviews, a version of your elevator pitch can be used on your LinkedIn profile, résumé and cover letter when applying for an opportunity.
