Power Statement

Write a 30-second introduction you can use at networking events and in interviews.

Your Power Statement can be used when networking, at job fairs, in interviews when asked "Tell me about yourself," and as the summary statement on your resume.

What to Include

✓ Be brief and conversational, but not too wordy
✓ Emphasize your brand and show enthusiasm
✓ Speak in results — avoid overused phrases like "I am a team player"
✓ Focus on the benefits you bring to the employer

Example

"My name is Sarah Chen and I recently graduated with a degree in Marketing from UCLA. I specialize in social media strategy and content creation, with internship experience managing campaigns that increased engagement by 40%. I'm looking for an entry-level marketing coordinator role where I can bring fresh ideas and data-driven creativity to your team."
