Why do you need an elevator pitch?

What is in an elevator pitch?

Example

I am passionate about the health and wellness of my community; specifically in the area of physical therapy. My experiences job shadowing in the Pre-Med core, and completion of junior and senior projects, helped me decide healthcare is my career of choice. I believe my strengths in leadership and motivating people are assets in helping people make a difference in their lives. This is why I would like the opportunity to work for your organization.
