Learn About The Advantages of a Video Resume

by IV S. Consultant

If you are a fresher looking for a job, especially in a scenario where the market is down, you would definitely need some solid campus recruitment assistance. You would need to think out of the box and look for new methods to make an impression on your recruiters. One such method would be to make use of a video profile resume.

What is a video resume, and how is it useful?

   The latest method to make an impression is to create a video resume that highlights your strengths. A video profile resume is a video version of your resume, but with that human touch. It provides you an opportunity to present a side to your personality that a normal written resume won’t be able to.

   The key is to shoot it professionally. Choose a location that has good lighting and doesn’t distract from your presentation. Make sure the sound is extremely clear, and not garbled. Once you have shot and edited it well, you will realise why it matters. 

   A video resume helps you stand out from among hundreds of other applicants. It grabs immediate attention.

   Video profiles also help you showcase your presentation and public speaking skills. The recruiter can get an idea of how confident you are when you speak. Your body language is also an indicator of your level of confidence, your self-esteem and overall personality. Video versions of your resume, as any campus recruitment assistance expert will tell you, help the recruiter realise that you have excellent soft skills.

   If you use the power of video well, you also have an opportunity to present your technical knowledge. You can show charts, graphs or even your problem-solving skills via video as examples.

   Video profiles give you a lot of opportunity for being creative; what’s more you are under no pressure so you can improvise the video as well and show your best side. This may not be possible when you are being interviewed by a CEO and you are under pressure. 

   With a video profile, you can control what the recruiter thinks of you, rather than leave it all to chance.

   Video resumes can also be an advantage for recruiters as they save time on screenings and face-to-face interviews. 

Now that you know all about video resumes, its time you created a script, and shot one yourself! Make sure to keep it clear, concise and classy!
