14. A video resume
• A video resume is a short video created by a candidate for employment
and uploaded to the internet (or emailed to a hiring manager) for
prospective employers to review. In the video, the candidate shares
detailed information about their skills and experience.
• Typically, this video is used to supplement, not replace, a paper resume.
As with a print resume, it's possible for the video resume to be either
general or targeted toward a particular position or company. It can be
created by a professional for you, or you can create your own. Some job
search and networking sites provide a means for users to incorporate
video resumes into their profiles.
• VIDEO RESUME MAY NOT BE NECESSARY: Consider your industry, your
target role, and the companies you're applying to before creating one.
• BE PROFESSIONAL: If you do create a resume, keep it professional, from
your outfit to the production value. Make sure it's short and will ultimately
benefit your application instead of detracting from it.
• GET FEEDBACK: Share your video with your mentors, trusted colleagues,
and friends and family. Ask for opinions and revise the video accordingly.
