REST
In simple terms, REST is a set of principles for structuring a web application and RESTful refers to an application that follows those rules. Within a RESTful MVC application, controllers are limited to a standard set of actions to perform:
Index—displays a list of items of a particular type
Show—displays the details of a specific item
New—displays a form for creating a new item
Create—saves an item to the database using the data from New
Edit—displays a form for editing an item
Update—updates an item in the database using the data from Edit
Destroy—removes an item from the database

This is a great site to reference because there are real videos to check out as examples. The first one includes links to other short videos that are a part of this persons video resume.
In today’s highly competitive job market, creating the right video resume to accompany your traditional CV can make you stand out from the crowd. The wrong one, though, can make you a laughing stock.
1. Make Sure It’s Appropriate
3. Keep it Short
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Creative
5. Make Sure It Passes the Share Test
2. Don’t Just Read Out Your Resume
Don’t just create
a video resume because you can, create one because it’s relevant to the job you
want to do.
If you’re applying for a role in the online, media, social or creative
professions, then it’s more likely a decent video resume will have the desired
effect, i.e., getting you invited for an interview.
Don’t send a video resume to a more traditional type of company that won’t
“get it.” You might do your chances more harm than good.
Graeme Anthony, from the example above, is a public relations executive. His
cleverly thought out online content adds an extra wow factor to his already
outstanding experience.
2. Don’t Just
Read Out Your Resume
The whole point of a video presentation is to offer a potential employer
greater insight into you than a traditional resume can, so
just reading
aloud the contents of your CV is a waste of everyone’s time.
Use the video to help the employer get a sense of not just what you have
achieved, but what you are capable of achieving in the future.
“Tell them why you would be the right person to hire and what you can do for
them,” says Mario Gedicke, account manager at Mayomann.com, a video employment platform.
You can, however, highlight particularly relevant info from your resume.
“Focus on your experience and skill set (and possible education/training)
especially relevant to the position,” advises Tyler Redford, CEO of resumebook.tv, an online resume management system.
And if it’s appropriate and relevant to the job (as in the example above),
then don’t be afraid to talk about your passions.
3. Keep it
Short
“Keep your video resume short,” says Gedicke, who advises that a
one-minute mark
is ideal.
Redford agrees that a video resume should be “short and
sweet.” He suggests staying within two minutes.
“Keep in mind that recruiters would likely want to use the video resume as an
initial filter for applicants,” Redford says. “However, recruiters do not
typically want to use the video resume in lieu of a real, in-person
interview.”
Think of your video resume as your own personal teaser trailer. In the
example above, the clip is less than one minute and 20 seconds in length, while
the extra time is made up of a
bloopers reel
accompanied with credits, a clever way to show off your personality (and that
you don’t take yourself too seriously).
4. Don’t Be
Afraid to Be Creative
If you’re opting for a video resume, then go the whole hog and make it
spectacular. Be creative, whether that’s with the concept of your pitch, use of
humor, clever production values or brilliant editing.
However, stay classy. “
Be creative, but
professional. Do not deviate too much from the demeanor you would have in the
workplace
,” says Redford. Gedicke suggests this should extend to your
wardrobe too: “Dress professionally, just as if you are going to an in-person
interview.”
In the video above, James Corne creates a spoof AA-style confession, but
maintains a certain veneer and dresses like he was headed to the office. This
demonstrates creativity and humor whilst showing him to be a professional
person.
5. Make Sure It
Passes the Share Test
As with all online life, don’t put content out there that you wouldn’t be
prepared to see go viral. It’s unlikely your video resume will become an
overnight Internet sensation, but imagining that scenario is a good test to make
sure you could cope if it did.
Imagine your
friends and family watching the clip. If the thought of that embarrasses you,
then don’t submit it.

Though conservative in their approach, designers engage readers with the bold
use of visuals. The contrast between their quiet, understated style and the
gutsy photography and illustrations create a tension that captures the attention
of readers.
This website was a good supplement to the understanding of alignment because it broke it down, even so far as to talk about how as humans we value alignment, it makes us feel comfortable. It gives great examples of the different types of alignment you can use and gives rules of thumb like finding a strong element on the page to align something against.
This website gives good, specific and real world applications for alignment-such as a business card. They walk through the differences so you can visually see why you would do something. I thought this one very helpful.
This is my favorite article because it thoroughly describes alignment and because it also gives great examples on how to use alignment and how to not use alignment. It does a great job at distinguishing between the both.
This site gives examples of different ways to align your text to make it the most beneficial to reading. Aligning the text on all the same edge makes it easier for the eye to read. Also, adding a bold edge to it in order to allow the text to be aligned to that.
