If someone should ask you, "Tell me about yourself", how do you start and what details should you reveal to make yourself an attractive prospect?

Having an elevator speech can help with that, wherever you find yourself. The concept is to share information about yourself, your skills, goals and expertise in less than 60 seconds, which is considered enough time to get in and out of am elevator ride.

You can also use the elevator speech in business, at interviews, in meetings or get-togethers to let other people know about you.
This should have enough information to let them know you, but still keep them intrigued to know more. It's good to have a business card handy too to give the person after the speech.

You can work on it gradually, practicing it with family and friends, tweaking things to find out how to make it as short as possible but still sweet enough to get people interested in you.
