Crafting an Effective Elevator Pitch Video

Elevator pitches are essential tools for cultivating a career in tech. This assignment will reinforce the class lessons while also serving as the foundation for future video recording assignments.

Create a written draft of an elevator pitch

Be sure to include Background, Strengths/Accomplishments, Goals and 1 “Ask” (e.g. I hope to connect with Bootcamp grads who are now Software Engineers at Google)

Paste a shareable link to the text draft here

Record a video of the elevator pitch that’s 30-45 seconds, based on the guidelines discussed in class- using a mobile device or a laptop.

Upload the video file to your Google Drive (preferred) OR upload to YouTube with the setting, “anyone with the link can view”

Be sure to be dressed business casual in the video

Be sure sharing settings allow for instructors to view your videos

Copy and then Paste the shareable video link here and then submit link to the Learning Management System (Canvas)/Google Classroom
