Smart video résumés
Posted : Monday Feb 4, 2008 12:17:11 EST
More employers are willing to watch video résumés these days, so if you’re brave enough to go out on a limb and give the new résumé genre a shot, it could make the difference in your job hunt. But even in the new format, old job-search rules still apply. Consider the following advice:
• Know the industry and employer you’re applying to. Some are more likely to approve of video résumés than others.
• Be professional — in your appearance and behavior.
• Use a clutter-free background.
• Make sure the lighting and sound are good.
• Include the same information you would in a paper résumé.
• If you’re not happy with the first one you shoot, do it over.
