Pitch Clinic

Nervous about selling yourself or your clients to a potential employer? You’re not alone! During this workshop, you’ll have an opportunity to develop and refine your elevator pitch. Knowing what to say and how to say it with confidence is the first step in building an employer partnership.

Working in small groups, you’ll have the opportunity to practice pitching your services to actual employers and HR professionals. With their feedback, you’ll be “pitch-perfect” in no time!

• Crafting a concise and persuasive pitch
• Delivering your pitch with confidence and making a professional business impression
• Learning how to respond to employers’ needs
