It's always going to be potentially risky producing a Video resume like the example above. It's got the same problem as including photos with a resume isntantly seems a little over confident.
On the other hand I think more firms who are recruiting should investigate the opportunities of Video. There are some great examples from the big I.T companies on YouTube and I can def see advantages from a search engine marketing point of view. |

I'm looking for feedback and any ideas ..
Thanks

I'm a bit unsure about Video CV's / Resumes and the like but can see the potential in them for the future, once recruiters are ready to take on this technology. I agree with Gary about the lack of insight and the huge potential of the internet.
I came across this recently www.myvideotalk.net/23748 and just wondered if anyone has ever used these services for marketing etc

I think it is a website designed to bring your video taped interview and your resume directly to the employer..... "Its like the candidate have so much more to offer than what is on his/her resume." |

I don't think they will be popular apart from with a handful of people. I might be wrong as I haven't researched that.
Recruiting is about the experience people have and whether it matches to the job you are recruiting for. Not about what they look like. With the age discrimination laws and all the others I can't see it bringing much good. It is much easier and quicker to read someones CV to assess their suitability followed by a telephone screening than sit and watch them talking. |
