Emails and Elevator Pitches

One chance to make a first impression

Being professional when introducing yourself—whether over email or in person—is critical because it sets the tone for how others perceive you.

 A well-crafted introduction on your part communicates respect, confidence, and clarity to the person meeting you for the first time, helping to establish credibility from the start. 

Whether you're networking, applying for a job, or starting a new collaboration, professionalism ensures your message is taken seriously and remembered positively.

In this module, we will review example emails while talking about what makes email communication professional. Next, we will practice your elevator pitch so you are ready to impress future peers or colleagues in person.
