Last year I worked on my resume and wrote both 30-second and 90-second versions of the pitch to use when I met potential employers. Here's the short version:
I am a Software Engineer and development Project Lead. Most recently I worked at IBM Rational software as a Project Lead and Program Manager, where I led cross functional teams through development, maintenance and distribution of Rational ClearCase and ClearQuest. releases. While at IBM, I successfully built a solid, record of on time delivery and high quality results and significantly improved customer satisfaction ratings for these products. I am currently looking for an opportunity to lead a product or test team in a software company or web services group.
I memorized it and while I probably didn't use it verbatim, it helped me to know what to say sometimes.
Now I have a different goal and I need to re-write the speech. Last year I was looking for a job similar to the one I'd left. This year I'm looking for contract work along the lines of what I'm doing now at Bit9. Here's the new pitch.

What do you think?I am a professional Software Test Engineer and have been a developer and Project Lead. I currently work at Bit9 in Waltham where I handle UI and UX testing for the upcoming release of their product console. In my previous job at IBM Rational software I led cross functional teams through development, test, maintenance and distribution of Rational ClearCase and ClearQuest service releases. I know how to deliver quality products on time. I am currently looking for contract test or development work in a software company or web services group.
