Re: I managed to talk myself out of my ideal job — need something to help focus

I don’t think I’ve ever answered a question in 30-45 seconds, but I think Curlymoe is right to suggest that. Some questions might require more time, some less. But if you practice to fit into a specific time frame you’re less likely to go off on a tangent. It really helps you to hone in on exactly what you want to get across.

In sales, they call 30 second speeches “elevator” speeches, in other words, you meet someone, and you only have 30 seconds to talk about yourself and your business before they get off at the next floor. It’s a challenge to say what you want to say in that small amount of time! great practice!
