大家都知道怎么做自我介紹嗎?大多時(shí)候我們都像是給自己貼上宣傳標(biāo)簽，“你好，我叫……”，悲劇的是，大部分求職者都很難跳出這個(gè)基本的框框。當(dāng)然，他們可以介紹自己來(lái)自哪里，或者喜歡的書籍或電影。但當(dāng)要他們表現(xiàn)一番，談?wù)劰ぷ饕?jiàn)地時(shí)，一切又好像變得復(fù)雜起來(lái)。

Do?you?have?a?pitch?about?you,?your?skills,?and?accomplishments?ready?to?use?the?next?time?someone?asks?what?you're?looking?for??While?conventional?wisdom?used?to?dictate?you?prepare?a?two-minute?"elevator?pitch,"?most?elevator?rides?don't?last?two?minutes,?and?most?people's?attention?spans?certainly?don't.
下次面試官問(wèn)你想做什么的時(shí)候，你能對(duì)自己的特長(zhǎng)和成就對(duì)答如流么?一般情況下你都需要準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)兩分鐘的“電梯游說(shuō)”(電梯游說(shuō)又叫電梯法則，即假設(shè)你在電梯里，只有30秒的時(shí)間來(lái)向一位關(guān)系公司前途的大客戶推廣產(chǎn)品且必須成功)。?但實(shí)際上正如電梯行駛不超過(guò)兩分鐘一樣，人的注意力也持續(xù)不了這么久。

Instead?of?the?two-minute?pitch,?you?should?think?about?how?to?share?relevant?information?about?yourself?quickly?and?succinctly?so?your?target?audience?doesn't?have?time?to?start?mentally?planning?out?their?grocery?shopping?list?while?they're?waiting?for?you?to?stop?talking?about?yourself.If?you?can't?introduce?yourself?to?a?potential?contact?in?30?seconds?or?less,?you?may?miss?some?important?opportunities?to?impress?someone?important.
與其準(zhǔn)備兩分鐘的自我介紹，你不如好好想想怎么在更短的時(shí)間內(nèi)成功推銷自己，這樣才不至于使你的聽(tīng)眾一邊無(wú)聊地想著購(gòu)物清單一邊不耐煩地等你結(jié)束自我介紹。如果你無(wú)法在30秒或更短時(shí)間內(nèi)做完自我介紹，那么你將失去給別人留下深刻印象的機(jī)會(huì)。
