Job Seeking Tips:
Selling Yourself in 90 Seconds or Less

Whether you are looking for a job or wanting to develop new business, the following steps and examples will help you create your own priceless 90-second sales pitch.

The first step is to define your ideal job/customer. The second is to create a resume/sales brochure and business card tuned to that ideal customer. The next step is to get out there and start meeting and talking with people.

But what to say? That’s where the 90-second presentation comes in. 90 seconds is actually longer that you will usually have to speak in a networking meeting or in a social conversation. However, by crafting a compelling 90-second statement about yourself and what you can do for your prospective employer/customer, you will have the foundation for an excellent shorter or longer conversation.

The first 60 seconds should present the big picture of your most recent career or business accomplishments, a snapshot of the type of work/service you perform and the type of organizations, industries, business, or functional area where you have performed. The last 30 seconds is your specific request for leads. Then, leave them with a memorable tag line.
