Step 1: Warm Introduction

  • Walk up confidently, with a smile. Offer a firm handshake.
  • Say something like, ""Hello, my name is [Your Name]. It’s great to meet you. I’ve been really looking forward to learning more about [Company Name].""

Step 2: Deliver Your Elevator Pitch (Use your personal AI coach Jaycee to create one today!)

  • Briefly mention your background: ""I come from a background in [Your Field/Industry], with strong skills in [Your Key Skills].""
  • Express your interest: ""I’m particularly excited about [Something About the Company or Role that Interests You].""

Step 3: Engage with Specific Questions

  • Show your research: ""I read about [Recent Company Achievement or News], and I’d love to know how that’s impacting your team.""
  • Ask about roles: ""Could you tell me more about [Specific Role You're Interested In] and what you’re looking for in a candidate?""

Step 4: Highlight Your Fit and Interest

  • Tailor your skills to the role: ""Based on what you’ve mentioned, I believe my experience with [Your Experience/Skill] would be a great fit for [Role/Project].""
  • Show enthusiasm: ""I’m very interested in the opportunities here and would love to contribute to [Company Goal/Project].""

Step 5: Closing and Follow-Up

  • Ask for the next steps: ""What would be the best way for me to proceed with an application?"" (remember you can send resume right away using Jobcase resume tools and more!)
  • Exchange information: Offer your resume and professional online profile. You can ask for their profiles and connect on the spot!
  • Gratitude and follow-up: ""Thank you for your time. I’ll follow up with an email, but is there a preferred time for me to reach out?""

Remember, the key is to be conversational, not robotic. Let your genuine interest and enthusiasm shine through! 😊
