  • 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).

      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.

      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.

      rhetoric is a developed skill to persuade and influence effectively.
  • Principles of training communicators. It may entail the study of principles and rules of composition formulated by critics of ancient times, and it can also involve the study of writing or speaking as a means of communication or persuasion. Classical rhetoric probably developed along with democracy in Syracuse (Sicily) in the 5th century BC, when dispossessed landowners argued claims before their fellow citizens. Shrewd speakers sought help from teachers of oratory, called rhetors. This use of language was of interest to philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle because the oratorical arguments called into question the relationships among language, truth, and morality. The Romans recognized separate aspects of the process of composing speeches, a compartmentalization that grew more pronounced with time. Renaissance scholars and poets studied rhetoric closely, and it was a central concern of humanism. In all times and places where rhetoric has been significant, listening and reading and speaking and writing have been the critical skills necessary for effective communication.

  • Dress professionally in business attire, just as if you were going to an in-person interview. Keep your video resume short: one - three minutes. Look at the camera not at the desk or table below you. Don't speak too fast. Make sure there isn't any background noise and that the wall behind you isn't too busy. Practice what you're going to say ahead of time. Start by mentioning your name (first and last). Focus on your professional endeavors, not your personal ones. Discuss why you would be a good employee and what you can do for the company that hires you. Thank the viewer for considering you for employment.

    Video resumes are different than a Typical resume because you're actually the one in front of the camera and speaking about who you are and what you do. This is a lot different and I would say harder then writing your information on a piece of paper. But the advantages of this are they can see you for who you really are and not what's written on a piece of paper. A disadvantage of this is that you have to make sure you pin point your audience is and that can be difficult at times. When writing something on a paper it's easy to address certain people but when you are actually in front of someone or in front of a camera you have to work a little harder to present yourself in the right way.

    Contrast- The use of red lettering for the title of the company and well for having a model as the background for the page. With centered bigger letters in the center of the page. With a small picture in the corner scrolling through. Repetition- This can be seen through the small font used for the links on this page. That's all though. Allignment- The menu on the left is all alligned to the left while the menu at the top is in a straight line that looks centered. And in the bottom right corner there's a picture box. Proximitiy- There's a lot of room on the page. There is hardly any pictures posted on here and the picture box that is shown is very small and takes up little room. Same goes for the links where the fonts are small and do not take up any room at all. *Note* There are advertising sustainable styles so I wonder if they were potraying that through the use of saving space?

    Contrast: focal point is an image of a laptop, aligned to the left with its description to the right. Gives a lot of empty space around it to make it your main focus. Besides the focal image other images pop against the black background. Repetition: Menu items are linked blue at the top of the page. Smaller unimportant items linked blue and smaller at the bottom. Alignment: Everything is aligned to the left in each group. Proximity: Under focal point are 4 groups with category titles that you can click to enlarge to see different related aspects of the site.

Several of the other sites talk about upgrades of this program with plugins. This site advises against it and how to set up stronger passwords and not to link personal MySQL server to connect remotely if working on a project with another computer. So updated security is essential and avoiding 3rd party plugins can be important.

      Looks a lot like the PSA. Workplace problems will arise int the workplace and when the do the proper actions and documentations has to be taken as it says in step 8. This is a fun comparison and something to think about.

    Hi Norma, This is the website for me! You are correct that workplace problems will arise as long as humans work. It is not always easy knowing what the proper way is to resolve problems. If we handle them incorrectly, they lead to even bigger problems yikes. So I read through this entire website and I learned a lot from it. I will be using this a lot with regards to my work (and the not-so-nice-politics that goes on in it, unfortunately). Thanks for sharing this valuable resource. ---Valerie Cooper

    This site is of interest as it seeks to compile and make available a complete collection of historical documents, sorted and organized by area of academic or topical interest. Such a project is a prime example of the utility of a networked information age - students and teachers alike have direct access to primary source materials rather than depending on the analyses of others. Being physically distant from an important work is no longer a barrier to access. While not purely a link dedicated to the process of documentation, I think this is a valuable inclusion as an example of the power of digital documentation as an assistant to our own documentation.

    Contrast: White background, main story in the center of the page. Summary of story underneath with related links smaller, different colored text to bottom right. Repetition: All links are colored blue and all bullet points and listing numbers are purple. Yahoo sites in the menu are all black with thumbnail pictures. Titles for each grouping box are in black capital letters with subtitles in grey. Alignment: Everything aligned to the left throughout entire webpage. Proximity: Alike items are grouped into boxes with a title in black capital letters.

    Follows CRAP principles. The Yahoo title and logo are both in purple. C= The whole background is white. The top news stories are posted in the top middle page. All titles are the same color. R= Yahoo it repeated throughout the site. All title colors are the same. It is uniform throughout. A= everything on the site is left align, making it look more organized. P= Groups are all linked together

    The website does in fact follow the CRAP principles to a T. A very good reason for this is that there is a huge team of web designers working for yahoo, thus leading to an excellent website.

    yes, Yahoo does following the principles quite well. i tend to favor a more simplistic design and so for news/browser sites, I would actually prefer www.msn.com It seems to be the same type of content but set up in a way that is a little bit easier for the eye to read. Maybe because it is right-aligned and not left like so many other sites?

    The repetition of lines can be seen to separate each story. Lines can also be seen separating the top of the page where the links to other pages can be found

    What I love about this resource is the menu on the right with links to 12 different types of design - business cards, posters, even short stories - and visual examples. The examples are so helpful and really bring out how alignment can help in all categories.
