- Add your resume for much better personalization. The elevator pitch will reference your actual experience.

- Treat the output as a starting point. Edit and make it sound like you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should 'tell me about yourself' be?
Aim for 60-90 seconds. This gives you enough time to highlight 2-3 relevant experiences without losing the interviewer's attention. Our Basics Kit generates a pitch calibrated to this length, and you can use our timer feature to practice.
What makes a good elevator pitch for interviews?
A strong elevator pitch is specific (mentions real projects/metrics), relevant (tailored to the role you're applying for), and practiced (flows naturally when spoken). Avoid generic statements like 'I'm a hard worker' - instead, show evidence: 'I led a team that shipped 3 features ahead of schedule.'
What questions should I ask at the end of an interview?
Ask questions that show you've done your research and are thinking about the role seriously. Good examples: 'What does success look like in the first 90 days?' or 'What's the biggest challenge the team is facing right now?' Avoid questions easily answered by Google, like 'What does the company do?'
How do I answer 'why do you want this job' convincingly?
Connect your skills and interests to specific aspects of the role. Mention something from the job description that excites you, then explain why your background makes you a good fit. The key is specificity - generic answers like 'I want to grow' won't stand out.
