It would be an instant answer to the Job Interview questions of “Tell me about yourself?” It would also allow you to quickly:
* Write your CV Personal Statement
* How to write a Cover Letter
* What to say in opening a conversation in a Telephone Interview
The second benefit is that the exercise of coming up with a succinct Elevator Pitch, would help you focus on your own strengths, and understand just what market you’re in, as well as how to sell yourself. If you had a statement like that, then you have an engaging piece of conversation you could expand on, which kept you and your capabilities (ie: personal brand) consistent throughout your entire job application. Hence simply, if you don’t have an elevator pitch, you won’t get hired: because you couldn’t sell yourself, or keep your brand consistent through the job application process.
