  • Don’t just create a video resume because you can, create one because it’s relevant to the job you want to do.
  • just reading aloud the contents of your CV is a waste of everyone’s time.
  • one-minute mark is ideal.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • Imagine your friends and family watching the clip. If the thought of that embarrasses you, then don’t submit it.
  • Be creative, but professional. Do not deviate too much from the demeanor you would have in the workplace
  • bloopers reel accompanied with credits, a clever way to show off your personality (and that you don’t take yourself too seriously).

      I agree, the videos are really helpful! 
  • 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.

    According to this article, making a video resume can be a challenge. It offers five tips from "pros in the know," plus actually sample video resumes. The first tip is to make sure a video resume is appropriate. A video resume may be acceptable for certain professions and wrong for others. Secondly, do not just read from the resume. The point of a video resume is to  present some additional insight into your character and capabilities. Next, keep the video short, around one minute. Four, don't avoid creativity; let your personality shine through. Finally, if you wouldn't want your family or friends to see the video, then don't submit it.

D#7HW#6: 10 Big Myths about copyright explained - 0 views

copyright

shared by Hector Garcia on 15 Sep 10 - Cached
  • in the USA, almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not
  • The default you should assume for other people's works is that they are copyrighted and may not be copied unless you know otherwise.
  • Note that granting something to the public domain is a complete abandonment of all rights. You can't make something "PD for non-commercial use." If your work is PD, other people can even modify one byte and put their name on it. You might want to look into Creative Commons style licences if you want to grant wide rights.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Fair use is generally a short excerpt and almost always attributed. (One should not use much more of the work than is needed to make the commentary.
  • It should not harm the commercial value of the work -- in the sense of people no longer needing to buy it (which is another reason why reproduction of the entire work is a problem.) Famously, copying just 300 words from Gerald Ford's 200,000 word memoir for a magazine article was ruled as not fair use, in spite of it being very newsworthy, because it was the most important 300 words -- why he pardoned Nixon.
  • The "fair use" concept varies from country to country, and has different names (such as "fair dealing" in Canada) and other limitations outside the USA.
  • False. U.S. Copyright law is quite explicit that the making of what are called "derivative works" -- works based or derived from another copyrighted work -- is the exclusive province of the owner of the original work. This is true even though the making of these new works is a highly creative process. If you write a story using settings or characters from somebody else's work, you need that author's permission. Yes, that means almost all "fan fiction" is arguably a copyright violation. If you want to publish a story about Jim Kirk and Mr. Spock, you need Paramount's permission, plain and simple. Now, as it turns out, many, but not all holders of popular copyrights turn a blind eye to "fan fiction" or even subtly encourage it because it helps them. Make no mistake, however, that it is entirely up to them whether to do that.
  • The DMCA also changed the liability outlook for ISPs in major ways, many of them quite troublesome.
  • n general, respecting the rights of creators to control their creations is a principle many advocate adhering to.
  • Copyright law was recently amended by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act which changed net copyright in many ways. In particular, it put all sorts of legal strength behind copy-protection systems, making programs illegal and reducing the reality of fair use rights.
  • Don't rationalize whether it hurts the owner or not, ask them.
  • False. Whether you charge can affect the damages awarded in court, but that's main difference under the law. It's still a violation if you give it away -- and there can still be serious damages if you hurt the commercial value of the property.
  • False. Copyright is effectively never lost these days, unless explicitly given away. You also can't "copyright a name" or anything short like that, such as almost all titles. You may be thinking of trade marks, which apply to names, and can be weakened or lost if not defended.
  • You generally trademark terms by using them to refer to your brand of a generic type of product or service. Like a "Delta" airline. Delta Airlines "owns" that word applied to air travel, even though it is also an ordinary word. Delta Hotels owns it when applied to hotels. (This case is fairly unusual as both are travel companies. Usually the industries are more distinct.) Neither owns the word on its own, only in context, and owning a mark doesn't mean complete control -- see a more detailed treatise on this law for details.

    This site offers 110 suggestions made by actual bloggers on how to improve a blog! While a number of them cannot be applied to my course blog (I'm not collaborating with anyone else, for example), there was still plenty of relevant advice. Even though I am given the topics to cover, I can still let my own personality come through. This relates to the course outcome of performance; a blog needs to feel like it was written by a human being and not by a robot.  I could also start adding videos that contribute to my audience's understanding. I know that the sample rhetoric on the town assignment included a video of the advertisement the student had analyzed. Another good suggestion is to break up the paragraphs, which I try to do, or use bullet points. Another blogger suggests using subheads.

      Although this page is specifically for a website, it applies the same elements that can be used in blogs, and other design prospects.
  • All whitespace should be accounted for. This does not mean that you should fill all whitespace - it means that when you have areas of whitespace it should add to the overall compositional balance of your page.
  • When working with layout, it is essential to focus on balance and the shape of the unused space. By applying principles of figure/ ground relationships, contrast and similarity, and proportion, the designer can structure the space into an effective whole.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The designer can change the background color easily, so when we refer to white space, we are referring to the background color or the "ground" in a figure/ground relationship. The whitespace in a composition is as important as the elements that have been placed upon it.
  • Every element on the page effects how other elements on the page are perceived.
  • When arranging elements on the page, you should consider the visual weight of each element. Weight can be determined by the size of the object, the value (dark objects weigh more than light objects), and the density of the detail or texture.
  • Proportions and size relationships should also be considered when trying to establish balance. All objects on your page will be evaluated in relationship to other objects on the page, therefore a large object will appear much larger when placed next to small objects, thus affecting the balance.
  • The simplest type is a formally or symmetrically balanced page.
  • An asymmetrical compositional layout depends on the skillful arrangement of elements with different visual weights. For instance, a large body of text can be balanced by a dark image.

    This website, although directed towards artists, is still very useful for anyone trying to create visual emphasis. The ideas are the same for either, whether you paint it or piece it together. The part I like best is that it shows specific examples and how and why those work. There are also links that lead to similar concepts on how to make things visually appealing.

    Here is an article about creating emphasis in your work. Even though the article is aimed towards painting the same basic principles can be applied to anything. It gives visual examples with each tool for creating emphasis in your work.

    This has very, very little information about repetition but what it does say is very good and it does apply. It states different reasons to use repetition and things that I hadn't thought about, good to read even if you only read the little blog about repetition.

    I found this site to be the most useful in a completely different way than the book. It explains that flow is a psychological element and there are many ways that it can be applied and used for better designs. Some of the examples that it gives are: allow for discovery, using efficiency, proving immediate feedback, and setting clear goals and purposes.

    This is a great website that actually applies what has been taught about repetion by analyzing photos which feature repetion as a main design element.
