      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.

  • Decide what medium lets you proofread most carefully. Some people like to work right at the computer, while others like to sit back with a printed copy that they can mark up as they read.
  • If possible, do your editing and proofreading in several short blocks of time, rather than all at once—otherwise, your concentration is likely to wane.
  • Citations Have you appropriately cited quotes, paraphrases, and ideas you got from sources? Are your citations in the correct format? (See the UNC Libraries citation tutorial for more information.)

    I think this is an example of emphasis because it's super easy to read, very organized and each step is the same font size, color and evenly next to each other. The title "easy canvas prints" - "easy" is emphasized, as it should be, to a different background color and scripted font.

    These ads are good examples of the emphasis and visual hierarchy we were talking about. In most of the ads there is a prominent text, which your eye is drawn to first, followed by smaller text, or images, that you look to next. This helps get your attention first, and then you read the rest of the ad, just like they hoped you would.

  • Remediation is the incorporation or representation of one medium in another medium. Generally speaking, remediation is the act of providing a remedy.
  • According to their book Remediation: Understanding New Media by J. David Bolter and Richard A. Grusin, remediation is a defining characteristic of new digital media because digital media is contstantly remediating its predecessors (television, radio, print journalism and other forms of old media).
  • Although our culture wants to multiply its media it also wants to erase all traces of mediation. For example, a typical webiste may be hypermediated, offering photographs and streaming video. These media mediate between the viewer and the meaning of the photographs and video. The viewer does not want mediation, an intervening agency, but instead the wants immediacy, a way to get beyond mediation.[2]
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Remediation and RealityEdit Because media intervenes, or mediates between viewers and what is represented, meaning is not immediate. In order to receive the meaning immediately, the viewer can ignore the presence of the medium and the act of mediation or by diminishing the medium's represntational function.
  • Redmediation as ReformEdit When a new medium is introduced, users expect that it will improve upon the flaws of the preceding medium and will deliver meaning more immediately. By improving upon a predecessor, new media justifies itself. The rhetoric of remediation favors immediacy and transparency, even though as the medium matures it offers new opportunities for hypermediacy.[4].

    This article starts off by providing the general meaning of remediation, "the act of proving a remedy". Rememdiation of the new media is refered to constantly remediating the old media like television, radio. A form of remediation is a film basked on a book. This article discusses the process of remediation by continously commenting on, reporducing, and replacing each other.

It's a 1930's building that is getting a face lift, hardscape and landscape. In the hard scape the Architect specified that we embed movie quotes using aluminum letters in 8 locations. The irony is that deadline 4 covers this exact situation, the quotes are protected by copyrights!

  • Some companies refuse to view videos upon attorney advice, as these visual accounts might open the door to discrimination based upon your appearance, ethnicity, and race. Other recruiters are simply lazy or too hesitant to use different technologies in their search for the right person for the job. Either way, your video might end up in the garbage despite all your best efforts.
  • A video resume can get you face-to-face with that employer far faster than your print resume can in many instances. Plus, if you can't make it across the country for a face-to-face interview, a video can help bring your face to the employer.

    Very good website! A lot of information about how to create a video resume. What I liked about this is that it even provided information about the equipment that is needed to make one! It also covered the legal aspect of video resumes which the other two sites that I found did not. You have to have a consent form for every person that is in your video and this is good to know. It also states when it is important to avoid using a video resume.

  • 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.
