Me In 30 Seconds

Hello everyone Today I would like to talk about the importance of a good "Me In 30 Second" statement. A me in 30 second statement is a concise description about your skills and talents. For example have you ever gone to a job interview and the first question that is asked is "Tell Me About Yourself"? So you spout off something like I was born in Small Town USA, and I'm married with three children. I was the the captain of the football team in high school, I love fishing and Sunday afternoon sports. These statements may be true but they say nothing about your skills and what you bring to the company that will help them be profitable. A better answer to the question, "Tell Me About Yourself" Should be something like this. I am a skilled Quality Systems Analyst with the ability to identify flaws in a quality system and make changes that enhance the overall system. I am a skilled Auditor with a Certificate as a RAB Quality System Auditor. I'm also a Black Belt in Six Sigma, etc. The "Me In 30 Statement" can be used as a networking tool to introduce yourself, this gives the person a strong idea of what you can do and what type of job you may be looking for. I have a link to an article that goes into more detail about the "Me In 30 Second Statement" it is refereed to as an "Elevator Statement". Good luck in your job search
