Insurance Institute - Career Connections x TalentEgg Pitch Competition
Enter NowAbout the Pitch Competition
If you’re creative, analytical, and a great problem solver, then this Pitch Competition is for you! TalentEgg, Career Connections and the Insurance Institute are hosting a pitch competition focused on dynamic and innovative ways that we can inspire and empower more post-secondary students to connect to a career in insurance. You do not need to have insurance knowledge or experience to participate. This is a chance for you to showcase your skills to top insurance employers while working on a real-world problem!
Here's how it works in 3 easy steps
The pitch competition is open to current post-secondary students or grads, as individuals or teams of up to three people.
Step 1
Each participant (including members of any teams) will register by uploading his or her resume and recording a 30-second to 1-minute video introduction to their TalentEgg profile. This will help give us a sense of your personality, skills, education, and experience to date. You can create your TalentEgg profile by registering for free, or if you’re already a TalentEgg user, by logging into your account and updating your profile to record your video introduction and upload your resume.
IN ORDER TO QUALIFY YOU MUST INCLUDE THE HASHTAG #PITCHCOMP21 in the keyword section of your profile so we can find you!
Step 2
You will then be contacted via email and invited to submit a 1-page summary that details your ideas and solutions. You DO NOT need to have insurance industry knowledge or experience to participate. If you are part of a team, make sure your summary includes the names of all of the team members.
Step 3
The Top 5 individuals/teams selected from the 1-page submission will then need to be ready with a 5-minute pitch to present to leading insurance professionals during the Live Video Pitch Round on May 5th (2:00 - 4:00 p.m. EST). Immediately following the pitch, you will engage in a 5-minute Q&A with the judging panel.
THE TOP 3 WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED VIA SOCIAL MEDIA ALONG WITH THEIR PITCHES!
BONUS:
Your resume and video introduction will be shared with leading insurance industry employers and available to all TalentEgg employer partners who access the Candidate Video Showcase platform.
