"So, tell me about yourself..." It's one of the most common questions in interviews, career fairs, and networking events, and it's one of the hardest to answer on the spot.

Join CareerSpring and volunteers from Ionis, a biotechnology company, for a hands-on virtual workshop to build and practice your personal elevator pitch. The CareerSpring team will walk you through a simple, step-by-step framework for telling your story. Then you'll move into small breakout groups to practice your pitch with Ionis professionals and get real-time feedback.

In this session you will:

• Learn what an elevator pitch is and when you'll use it

• Use a step-by-step framework to connect your past, present, and future goals

• Discover how to talk about your strengths with confidence, even if you're just getting started

• Practice your pitch with Ionis professionals in small breakout groups

You'll leave with a pitch you can use in interviews, applications, and every networking conversation after this one.

This event is open to all CareerSpring Advisees interested in practicing their elevator pitch and networking with professionals from Ionis!
