Introducing ViSume Your Video Resume
🎥 The Video Resume Revolution 🚀
Introducing ViSume – Your Video Resume
In the ever-evolving world of job hunting, the Video Resume, often referred to as a Visume or Video CV, is redefining how you showcase your qualifications, work experience, and passions. Instead of a traditional paper resume, it's a dynamic visual representation of you. Think of it as your opportunity to shine beyond words on a page. The video resume complements your traditional resume by allowing you to display your communication, interpersonal, creative, and technical skills in ways that a static document cannot.
Back in July 2021, TikTok shook up the recruitment scene with TikTok Resumes, a pilot program enabling users to create video CVs and share them directly with participating recruiters. Notably, major US brands like Target, Chipotle, and World Wrestling Entertainment hopped on board for this one-month experiment.
Fast forward to March 2021, and LinkedIn joined the video resume revolution by introducing a host of new features, including the ability to upload a short video directly to your LinkedIn Profile. This move came as no surprise, as nearly 79% of hiring managers now consider video essential for evaluating job candidates.
With the growing demand for video CVs, candidates have a unique opportunity to stand out. Video resumes breathe life into your story and offer a glimpse into your personality, a dimension that conventional resumes simply can't capture.
Creating a Visume is easier than you might think. Here are the essential steps:
1️⃣ Craft a Script:
Your script should include your name, a brief overview of your work experience, key achievements, skills, and why you're the perfect fit for the role.
2️⃣ Gather Your Equipment:
You'll need a good-quality smartphone, a stable phone stand, a wireless microphone compatible with your phone, and a portable selfie ring light. Ensure your batteries are fully charged before your shoot.
3️⃣ Choose the Perfect Location:
Select a quiet location with ample natural light. Opt for a plain wall or a neat setting as your background—no messy rooms or distractions.
4️⃣ Multiple Takes:
Remember, this isn't a live stream. Record several takes, experimenting with both vertical and horizontal shots. Multiple takes allow you to choose the best shots during editing.
5️⃣ Edit Like a Pro:
Explore various online video editing tools such as Animaker, Biteable, or Veed.io. Use a professional template and keep your video under 2 minutes. After you're satisfied, compress the file to less than 10MB for easy email sharing.
6️⃣ Send Your Visume:
Don't forget to attach your Visume alongside your traditional resume. While your video can showcase your personality and enthusiasm, your traditional resume provides detailed information. For added convenience, include a link to your traditional resume on your cloud drive.
What should your video resume include?
A. Introduction: Start with a captivating introduction that grabs the viewer's attention.
B. Experience: Highlight your relevant work experience, emphasizing key achievements.
C. Call-to-Action: End with a strong call-to-action, encouraging recruiters to connect with you.
Embrace the ViSume revolution and elevate your job application game with the power of video. 🌟
