Christopher Quigley, if I remember correctly, gave a nice elevator speech. The only negative was asking Abby, the school principal (or superintendent) how the weather was, and forgot to shake hands. On the plus side, Mr. Quigley was very likeable, and his past, present, future approach would win him a position any day.
Same with Ms. Abigail. She gave a great first impression and was all smiles. I did ask her for a resume before she offered, that might have been my fault, but I was getting nervous that her 30 seconds was going to end.
Jon: Jon's speech was first and I think he did a great job. He impressed me with his knowledge of the person he was meeting (Harvy Weinsteen) and with the other professional producers and directors that he has worked with. He seemed a little rushed to get in all of the information and could have used more smooth transitions.
Chris: Chris did a good job as well. The biggest fault was that he did not give the superintendent his name so that she could identify and remember him. Its important to introduce yourself with confidence. Aside from that, he expressed his points carefully and clearly.
Jon's elevator speech was done well, especially for being the first to do one. He added all the neccessary details and followed the proper format. The only problem was that it was more of a speech rather than a conversation. The past, present and future technique was done well since he put lots of information in, I think it would work well in a real life situation if he just slowed down while speaking a little.
Abby's speech came across very pleasantly. She interacts with others in a very polite manner and presents herself with a constant smile. She also had all the information that was required, but could have ended with a stronger means of staying connected.
