Elevator Speech for the Unemployed

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Yesterday I said I’d give an example of an elevator speech for someone without a job. Here it is:

Questioner: “Where do you work Debbie?”

Answer: “I’m an insurance broker, but at present I’m between jobs. In fact, I’m looking for a new opportunity. Do you know anyone who is looking for an experienced, dedicated, insurance specialist?”

If they say yes, then say something like, “Would you be willing to give me an introduction so I can tell them how I can help … or would you like a copy of my business card (or for me to give you my name and phone number) to pass on?

If they say no, you can still say something like, “Would you like my business card (or contact details) just in case you do meet someone?”

You have to be bold when you are unemployed. Most people know what it’s like and don’t mind helping you if they can, so don’t miss any opportunity.

Good luck.
