"Template Toolbox: Craft Your Easy Breezy Elevator Pitch"
Elevator pitches will always be a necessary evil of the job hunt. We can change the name, eliminate the elevator, and avoid the awkward intros – but that, “So tell me about yourself/what do you do?/who are you?” question is inevitable, and we know it.
The author of this article has narrowed the elevator pitch down to four key pieces that you can customize, personalize, and play with to fit all your networking and new job searching needs.
"12 Sneaky Questions You Can Ask To Uncover Company Culture"
Featured Tool: Vault Guides
- Log into Tribe Careers.
- Scroll down on the right until you see "External Job Resources" and click Vault Guides. This will automatically send you to Vault fully logged in. Vault has tons of resources, but the one I want to highlight is the career guide books.
- If you type in the search feature "Vault Career Guide for Nonprofit Careers," a beautiful and free PDF book comes up that gives you the inside scoop to how to get into that field, what it's really like, and trends.
- Not interested in nonprofits? Vault pretty much has every career field, and they do an excellent job keeping their material up-to-date.
Prologue, a new digital health platform
W&M is the first campus community to preview Prologue, a new digital health platform by R65 Labs.
