Video Resumes

As job candidates find themselves facing increasing competition for good positions, resourceful candidates look for a competitive advantage or a way to stand out. One suggestion we at netbranchology.com, would make is using a video resume or CV to help you make an impact. Think of it from the employer's, or recruiter's point of view. Hundreds of people sometimes apply for one position. Candidates only have a few seconds to make an impact on the reviewer. After reviewing a stack of resumes watching a video resume is a refreshing change. The recruiter's attention level has been heightened.. Providing a video resume gives a candidate an advantage because it enables her to illustrate to the recruiter some of the characteristics others can only list on a paper resume. For example, a person may describe himself as upbeat and outgoing; On the video their demeanor will be obvious as will the positive effect their enthusiasm generates. Many candidates portray themselves as possessing above-average communication skills. What better way to prove this than to show the recruiter your exemplary skills first hand? How you say something is probably more important than what you say.  We frequently see candidates describe episodes in their prior employment where they implemented an innovative solution to accomplish a goal. This is an informative bit of history but not nearly as effective as using an innovative tool, like a video resume or CV, to convince the recruiter that you have the skills necessary for the job you're seeking. Initiative is another frequently cited attribute in resumes, especially on the managerial level. Initiative usually involves trying new solutions to old problems. When a candidate spends the extra time and effort to create an engaging video resume recruiters will not need to be convinced that they possess initiative;It will be obvious.

Creating a video resume or CV only requires a few steps. Approach it like a job interview. Make it no longer than 2 minutes; Upload it to Youtube. Select the private option.To send it to a a prospective employer just enter the recipient's email address into the share feature. The privacy option prevents public viewing; Only those people who receive your invitation may view it. We, at netbranchology.com, also suggest that you include your social media contact information in an email or in the video. This helps us get an even better appreciation of you and your talents.
