Write Your Marketing Pitch

Your marketing pitch is your personal commercial. Think for a few seconds about what a commercial does. It focuses on selling a product in a blink of time. It grabs your attention fast with information of interest to you. Then it tells why you should buy the product. Your personal commercial works exactly the same way by enabling you to:

* Grab employers’ interest with a confident statement about yourself and your value related to the job you want. * Support that statement with specific facts. * Sell employers on why they should hire you instead of someone else.

Depending on your experience level and the job you’re trying to land, your personal commercial can include any (or all) of the following information:

* Competencies, skills, and experience for the job * Academic degree * Positions of leadership * Specific job training * Date of expected graduation (if applicable) * Honors or achievements * General goals
