How to write an elevator pitch.

Essentially, you have 30 seconds to make an impression about yourself and the service you are selling.

Break the talk into three sections:

- Did you know? A description of the problem your service addresses
- What you do? A description of the service you are providing
- A resolution of the service. Why is your service valuable?

This Website's Elevator Pitch

Do you know that the engineering field will be stocked with more freelance labor and contract jobs? This trend is due to quicker design cycles and the uneconomical aspect of large staffs of engineering staff for corporations. Engineers today need to be flexible and have a high-level view of all aspects of engineering. These aspects include: tools used in engineering, job hunting, marketing, free tools and techniques to complete projects, and emerging skill sets.

What I am doing to solve this problem is provide an information clearinghouse to help engineers or technical types develop skills in a rapidly changing environment. I hope to build a community where people can share tips and tricks to help build each other for a more decentralized environment engineers will have operate in. www.Technicalcontractjobs.com will supply this clearinghouse for engineers to help provide them a look ahead and tips for the rapidly changing engineering environment.

This service is valuable because, I will condense and provide an early look-ahead of new emerging technologies and services. Things are moving so fast in the engineering sector that keeping your head down only a few months will mean that trends may change and leave people behind.

Announcement from CompTIA

In previous posts, you know I have been getting several certifications. In late January, CompTIA announced that they are making A+, Network+, and Security+ lifetime certifications as long as you have them by the end of Calendar Year 2010.

The link is below.

I am not trying to sell anything here, but some jobs use these certifications as prerequisites.
