It figures to be simple, but finding the most effective way to communicate your skills and career desires as an engineer can be a challenge – especially if you’re just breaking in and don’t have a resume that can speak for itself.
In a new blog at Triplebyte, Sector engineer Camille Eddy describes what she thinks is an effective engineer elevator pitch formula: Get specific on the title you want, the field you want to work in, the discipline you want to specialize in, and the social proof you use to show your “why.”
Of course, you can’t always have these details decided right at the start of your career. Eddy says her pitch has evolved over time, and everyone’s should. “What we often lack is the encouragement to show our work in progress. But it's been so important for my journey to be clear and speak confidently about where I want to go as an engineer, even as the details can evolve or be swapped out entirely at times,” she writes.
