Video Resumes: Give Yourself an Edge Over the Competition
Video Resumes - Turn Your Resume into a Video
Video Resumes
By Catherine Gray, COO of Corp Shorts.com
There are many obstacles to overcome when you’re searching for a new job. Sometimes hundreds of people are vying for the same position, sometimes only a handful, but there is always competition.
What makes you stand out?
Imagine: You’ve found the perfect job. It’s the next step in your career path, and you’ll be working for the “right” company. You know that what you do next may very well determine the course of your future.
The only thing standing between you and the hiring manager is a cover letter and your paper resume—and, of course, the cover letters and resumes of 25 other applicants. You have about three pages to persuade that person to pick up the phone and call you for an interview.
What if there was a way for you to stand out from the crowd—something more than words on paper?
Now there is.
Corp Shorts introduces video resumes, the innovative way to make a powerful and lasting impression on your (soon to be) new employer. What better way to differentiate yourself from the competition than to be the only candidate with a video resume?
A study by http://www.emarketer.com shows that more than 58% of HR managers will watch video resumes. Your competition’s paper resumes will end up in the recycling bin, but your video resume will make you memorable.
Be progressive. Show your next employer that you’re forward-thinking and proactive. Let Corp Shorts help you create video resumes.
You’re more than a two-page list of your work experience, education, and accomplishments. You have a lot to offer, but you can’t fully describe your qualifications on paper. Don’t let that hiring manager imagine who you really are and what you can add to his or her team. Show him or her with video resumes!
Video resumes show your personality, your enthusiasm, and your professionalism. Video resumes enable you to provide a “real-time” expression—in your own words—of what you have to offer. And, of course, video resumes are effective regardless of whether you’re 20 or 60.
