Ithaca College

WHO: Students of any class year or major who would like to develop a strong elevator pitch, get exposure to employers, and have the chance to win $400, $250, or $150!

WHAT: A personal pitch is a brief explanation of your unique experiences, skills, and accomplishments that would benefit potential employers. The name stems from the idea of unexpectedly meeting someone in an elevator, at a party, or any brief interaction during which you would only have a short amount of time to “pitch” yourself and what you have to offer.

WHERE: Virtually - sign up for the contest!

WHEN: Your submission is due by March 1, 2021. You can submit your video at any time prior to the deadline.

WHY: You only have 30-60 seconds to make a powerful first impression! This contest will help you perfect your pitch and get feedback from real employers. 

For help crafting your pitch, the full layout of criteria, and the sign up link can be found at:
