Promote Yourself with Video: The Rising Era of the Video Resume

Have you ever wondered how to make your resume stand out from the rest of the competition? How do you show your uniqueness? You know you are qualified for the job, so how do you make potential employers recognize this as well? A video resume can do the trick!

Through video, you are able to portray everything that’s written in between the
lines of an 8 ½” x 11” resume. They will remember your video—it is not
guaranteed that they will remember your typed resume. Think of it as your own
personal advertisement, the opportunity to highlight your strengths and to
completely sell yourself. Your personality is unleashed and that plain piece of
paper turns into a minute long commercial of yourself. Pretend you are a big
corporation, and you are trying to sell a brand new product that no one has ever
heard of before, except the product is yourself. Instead of being lost in a
stack of paper, you are the STAR! This video offers your future employer a
greater insight to your experiences and skills that are needed to get the job
done and is the perfect way set yourself apart from other applicants. Be unique.
Showcase your talents. Make them want you!

In September 2012, The Resume Resource will add Video
Resumes to our offerings. These professional, yet reasonably-priced videos will
be produced in collaboration with KWB Media, LLC.  Stay tuned!
