  • 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.

      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.

    as a manager for the past 6 years, i can verify that this is very important both to protect yourself from liability and to demonstrate that you took appropriate actions when needed. it is also helpful when reflecting back to get a "big picture" view of a particular situation and make sure you didn't miss anything important.

  • Destructive and Constructive Conflict
  • Destructive conflict. Behaviors that escalate a conflict until it seems to have a life of its own are dysfunctional and destructive.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Destructive conflicts may degenerate sufficiently so the conflict parties forget the substantive issues and transform their purposes to getting even, retaliating or hurting the other person.
  • Constructive conflict. Behaviors that are adaptive to the situation, person and issues of the moment are functional and constructive.
  • Constructive conflicts appropriately balance the interests of both parties to maximize the opportunities for mutual gains.
  • Focusing on the process, not just the outcome one person desires, is key to productive conflict management.

    Although this is foremost a retailer of products, Amazon sticks out to me as a successful model of the WWIC concept. Being able to read both customer and professional product reviews allows me to investigate a product's merits and deficincies with ease. I have joked with my wife that Amazon may know me better than anyone. The items Amazon recommends for me are often so closely aligned with my interests that I am impressed with their algorithms to determine my preferences. Occasionally this list of suggestion will contain an item of no interest to me, and I am able to simply click and delete it. Somehow Amazon manages to consult with me in a way I find highly effective.
