The term elevator speech refers to introductory remarks one might make in a professional setting. This week’s assignment puts a modern twist on the traditional elevator speech by applying it to the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
For this week’s assignment, you will practice and reflect on your interview skills by creating a 2 to 3-minute on-camera video recording in which you respond to one of the following interview topics.
Describe a time where a project you worked on or a decision you made in the workplace benefited from diverse perspectives.
Tell us about an occasion where the lack of diverse viewpoints negatively impacted a major project or important decision in your workplace.
Describe what diversity and inclusion mean to you when it comes to workplace communication.
What are some examples of how you would promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplace if we were to hire you?
After you complete the recording to your satisfaction, play back your response and answer the following questions in a Word document for submission.
How would you rate your vocal performance? Are there any verbal fillers, such as “ums” and “uhs,” or awkward pauses? Do you sound confident and enthusiastic?
How would you rate your physical performance? Are you making eye contact with the camera, or do you appear to be looking down or away? What does your posture look like? Are you dressed like a professional in your field?
Looking at yourself completely objectively, would you hire yourself? Why or why not?
