I have read plenty of articles about elevator pitches before, but none which go into nearly as much depth as this one. I've gained a lot from reading this and I will be bookmarking for future reference. Well done – this is a very useful guide.

SueEllyn: Great question – you can still use the FARM system to spin it towards looking for employment. Instead of a business, you’re basically selling YOU and what you have to offer an employer. So spin it as YOU, and not a business:

Pain point – what pain points can you ease for companies/organizations?

Answer their pain point – how are you *specifically* going to help ease that pain point?

Reasons you are different – throw in some strengths and experience

Make them want more – have a resume/portfolio/calling card ready to go!
