Are Video Resumes a Good Idea?
Job seekers are using video resumes on Youtube, blogs, video resume posting websites and on some job boards. Resumes should not have your picture attached unless you are applying for a modeling job so why would you want a video resume? Video resumes may seem like a good idea, but there are some pros and cons associated with having one.
PROS:
- Easy to produce with a webcam
- Ability to sell yourself on camera
- Can show that you are professionally dressed
- Can be a plus if you are good looking or attractive
- Ability to verbally articulate your skills and accomplishments
- Can show your personality and positive attitude
- Can show a little humor
