The First 5 minute count with Rivelino Dsouza

They often decide in the first 5 minutes.

That intro? It’s make or break.

Most candidates lose the room right there not because they lack experience, but because they try to cram in their entire CV in their elevator pitch.

Here’s how I coach clients to approach it:

1) Keep it clear

2) Keep it sharp

3) Keep it relevant

And do all of that in under 3 minutes.

When done right, your elevator pitch becomes the remote that helps you steer the rest of the interview.
