    This document provides guidance on creating and evaluating an effective elevator pitch. It recommends keeping the pitch brief between 30-60 seconds, speaking clearly and slowly, and letting your authentic personality come through. The pitch should answer who you are, what you do, and where you want to go or what you're looking for. It suggests using a past, present, future structure and closing by inviting further conversation or next steps. A sample pitch is provided as an example.
