Rewritten
I recently made the jump from teaching into software development after completing a coding bootcamp. My years in the classroom actually give me a strong sense of how to build things people can actually use, which I think translates well to frontend work. I'm looking for junior frontend developer roles, and I'd especially love to find something in ed-tech, where I can bring both skill sets together.
About this tool
Introducing yourself at a networking event, career fair, or conference is a specific skill, and most people either ramble or undersell themselves when put on the spot. This tool takes a short description of your background and what you're hoping to get out of the conversation and builds a natural introduction around it. Unlike the resume to elevator pitch tool, which is built from a formal document, this one works from a looser, casual description of who you are and what you're looking for right now.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the resume-based tool?+
No — this one works from a loose description of your background and goals, while the resume to elevator pitch tool starts from a formal resume or bio document.
Can I use this for a career changer story?+
Yes, this is a strong use case — mention your previous field and what's transferring over, and the tool will frame the transition as a strength.
Should I mention the specific event I'm attending?+
It's not required, but if you're targeting a specific type of company or event, mentioning it helps the tool tailor the closing ask.
