Your profile pitch

Your profile pitch is your chance to use video to showcase your real self, which hiring managers love to see, as well as:

• speak about your accomplishments and hard/soft skills
• feature a portfolio of projects
• display the software tools you’re familiar with
• link to other social media/websites
• talk about your past experiences (even if unpaid)
• show social proof (testimonials from people who can vouch for you)
• share your personality archetype

It’s a powerful marketing asset on your job hunt. Link to it from your email signature, Twitter profile, and anywhere else you want!

It’s also a good backup pitch, if you need to send something ASAP to a hiring manager and don’t have time to create a targeted pitch for that opportunity.

A great example of a profile pitch:

Targeted pitches

We’ve found that 80% or more of your job hunting results come from pitches that are built for a specific company. After all, isn’t it flattering when someone comments on something about you, specifically?

Targeted pitches are not something you can just slap a different company name on and send off. In order to be effective, they have to be unique and difficult to replicate.

That way, the hiring manager knows you put time and energy into it.
