Elevator Pitch example:
"Hi I'm Alex, I'm not sure if you'll be able to help but I'm here today because I'm curious to find out what undergraduate internship programmes there are in Leeds. I think this would be extremely valuable to myself and other students to gain valuable industry experience. So initially I am just looking for any organisations you may know of who offer this opportunity?"
