Key Aspects of Your Elevator Pitch
Who You Are: Focus on education, work experience and certifications that make you a good fit for the role you’re pursuing. It’s okay to show a little bit of your human side, but it’s generally best to avoid sharing personal details or information about side hustles or hobbies… unless they boost your candidacy.

Your Major Accomplishments: Have examples of projects you’ve worked on, problems you’ve solved, and the impact you’ve created ready to go, then choose one or two for your elevator pitch.
Relevance Matters: In other words, when selecting accomplishments and projects to describe your experience, focus on those that align with the specific requirements of the role. Remember that hiring managers are genuinely interested in hearing about what’s important to them.
Be a STAR: Using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is a highly effective way to describe your role on a team. Briefly describe the project or problem facing the team, then quickly pivot to the specific actions you took, why they mattered, and the tangible value you created.
Interweave "we" and "I” to show respect for the team structure in achieving common goals, but don’t be afraid to say, “I was in charge of this” or, “My area of focus was resolving the stakeholder conflicts that were hindering progress.”
When it comes to talking about yourself in interviews, using “I” can be a good thing, Douglas said.
What You Want in New Opportunities: Finally, explain what you’re looking for in a new opportunity. Describe what motivates you and how you see that coming to fruition in this particular role or company.
For instance: “I’m looking to leverage my engineering, leadership, creative and visionary skills in a product management role. I feel that I’m ready and able to play a key role in shaping product strategy and vision, impacting the overall success of a company.”
Beyond your skills, a hiring manager wants to understand your strengths and values, and how you might fit within their team or company. Talking about yourself in the right way during an interview can provide a complete picture of who you are and increase your chances of landing an offer.
