Pitch Yourself explains how the Elevator Pitch replaces the CV. The CV looks backwards to what you did and where you did it. The Elevator Pitch looks to the future by demonstrating who you are and how you work. You map out your future ability, competencies and performance. It transforms the way you sell yourself as the perspective is realigned from the seller to the buyer. It improves the recruitment process for both candidate and employer by answering the employer's crucial question. "What does this person offer me?" Be more effective at selling yourself. Show your real personality. Jump to the top of the pile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshingly Different August 16, 2003

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This is an exciting and interesting alternative that challenges the traditional CV, which let's face it, has remained unchanged since it was first used. The Faust brothers provide an easy to follow yet powerful marketing tool that provides relevance and applicability in this competency based model. It is as relevent to the new graduate with no formal work experience as to the seasoned business person who is looking for a career change. It will also aid the HR staff who find the traditional CV format cumbersome and often ineffective in helping select the right individuals for interview. Refreshingly Different!
