People are using online video in compelling new ways such as job seekers who post video resumes. Obviously, video resumes offer them a compelling way to make a distinctive impression with potential employers. However, its necessary to follow some rules in order to keep the interest of the viewer and stay in its memory.Apply the following points :
- less than 3 minutes
- do not read a paper
- adapt the video to the job
- good quality video
I think that underneath this video, a short presentation of the personn and links to its potential website, blog, wiki and online paper CV. Moreover, give links with the websites of the companies you worked for (Only if they are any good).
Most of the people who use this tool work in media and communication but more and more come from different background. Many companies actually use it too to recruit job seekers. For further information, ckeck out the article Posting your resume on YouTube to stand out from the competition from the online Wall Street Journal.
Lets check the example of Jonathan Caren from Los Angeles, who was looking for a job as a writer's assistant. He posted a two-minute video resume on YouTube and emailed the link, along with an attachment of his paper resume. This video features Mr. Caren, jumping out of bed with a grin on his face and reading over scripts while brushing his teeth. In another scene, he shows off his money-making prowess holding up a bag with a dollar sign. Eventually he received many job offers. He has a YouTube page but his video resume is no longer available. No more need?
