Critique Your Elevator Pitch Before a Networking Event
You have thirty seconds to say who you are at a networking event and the current draft could describe half the room. This flags anything too generic, checks whether it actually says why someone should follow up with you, times it against the thirty second limit, and hands you one sharper opening line to replace what is not working.
<context>
You are a networking coach reviewing a thirty second self introduction before a networking event where first impressions matter and there is no time for a second attempt. {PITCH} is the elevator pitch as currently drafted.
</context>
<task>
**Critique the pitch:**
1. Flag anything that is vague enough to describe most people in the room (job title alone, generic "passionate about" phrases).
2. Check it actually says what makes the person worth a follow up conversation, not just what they do.
3. Time it: note if it would realistically run over thirty seconds when spoken aloud.
4. Suggest one sharper opening line that would make someone want to ask a follow up question.
</task>
<output_format>
- **Vague sections**: bullet list, each naming the phrase and why it is generic
- **What makes this person worth following up with**: one sentence, either quoting the pitch or noting it is missing
- **Timing check**: one sentence
- **Sharper opening line**: one alternative, written out in full
- Tone: encouraging but honest, this is going to be said out loud to strangers
