New technology is giving us the opportunity to go an extra step further and expose ourselves a little more to our future employers with video biographies.
Video biographies? Yes, you read it right. Online resume is the new trend among students, especially those into media or performing arts.
More and more companies are admitting the use of the search page Google to find additional information about applicants. And more and more applicants are using online resources such as youtube.com, myspace.com, and visualvc.com among others to post more details about their personal and professional lives.
If you are interested in having your own website or perhaps your own online resume make sure to look professional and to let the viewers see your skills and talents.
When doing a video biography, please don’t go beyond two minutes. A simple 30 to 45 seconds video would be more beneficial than a long “film” about you. And if you don’t feel quite comfortable with video cameras, a sound slide would work just fine.
