How To Write Your Elevator Pitch For Your Resume. 

Crafting Your Standout Pitch

Elevate Your Resume and LinkedIn Profile

Your cursor is blinking, signalling that it's time for a resume revamp.

You've probably hit the backspace key dozens of times, struggling to craft an intro that truly reflects your professional prowess.

But, alas, nothing decent seems to be flowing.

Well, my friend, you're not alone. This is a common challenge, and here's the typical scenario:

  1. You might throw in the towel on writing an intro.
  2. You could resort to copying someone else's because, let's face it, this is tough.
  3. Or, you manage to write something, but it's not selling you effectively.

Fear not! I'm here to guide you in creating a pitch that'll not only adorn your resume but also grace your LinkedIn profile for that all-important consistency.

Now, let's break down why this little paragraph is a game-changer.

It's the foundation of your personal brand.

An average one? You risk being seen as just another applicant.

Underselling yourself? That might mean not getting the roles you truly deserve.

Crafting an authentic pitch is your ticket to standing out from the crowd.

Trust me; it's an investment worth making.

And the bonus? If you can sell yourself on paper, you'll ace it in the interview too!

 

What is a resume pitch?

 

It's your unique value proposition, your career statement at the start of your resume—about 10 lines long, with a clear structure.

 

How to write a resume summary?

 

Three main components: Who you are, your specialisation, and who you collaborated with. Use it on your resume, LinkedIn, and most crucially, in interviews.

  1. Who You Are:

    • Job title, years of experience, areas you've worked in. For instance: "Marketing Director with 15 years in new product launches, business development, and mergers and acquisitions."
  2. Your Specialisation:

    • Highlight micro-skills or focus areas. E.g., "Specialised in growing ROI through direct marketing and B2B campaigns."
  3. Who You Collaborated With:

    • Give insight into your daily collaborations and tailor it for the right role in your next organisation. For example, "Collaborated with senior executives, partners, and board members."
  4. Bonus Element – Managing a Team:

    • If team management is your forte, shout it out! "Passionate about building and leading teams for high-performance results."
