Tips for Your Video Application

Including a #VideoApplication along with your job application is one of the best ways to quickly paint the picture of why you’re the perfect fit for a job. Here are 5 tips to help you make the most of your #JobHive video applications. tinyurl.com/q2866rf

Can you be corporate and creative?

How many times have you tried to update your CV to make it more appealing but could only muster a daring switch from Times Roman to Arial?  Maybe you have deliberated as to how much detail about your Duke of Edinburgh Award weekend is acceptable before the reader nods off?

 Most employers will skim a CV taking in only the information about current company, job title and start and end dates. 

 As a recruiter I’ve seen the good, the bad and the 12 page rants (yes really). But most CVs followed the same format and are for want of a better word, boring, generic even.

 People who work in a corporate environment are not boring and can possess a creative side too.  Why is not OK to sell that we have other facets to our personality?

 I worked with a no-nonsense Manager who used to rub most people up the wrong way with his abruptness but ask him about his passion for baking and he went positively gooey eyed.  There were even published authors or accomplished jewellery makers, but you wouldn’t find any of this on their CVs.

 It’s refreshing to see that some people are taking the Curriculum Vitae and turning it into a more creative outlet.

 One example is Rachael King’s Living Resume board on Pinterest.  This includes the highlights of her career using different social media platforms, such as blog posts, videos and other documents she has contributed to. This demonstrates her ability as well as her personality.

 The use of video for resumes and applications is also increasing due to the You Tube generation.  People are using their cameras (or smart phones) to talk about an array of issues and showcase their talents.  It doesn’t just have to be for those within the media industry.

 A school leaver can struggle to find content to put on a CV, let alone attend a formal interview in a corporate environment that is unfamiliar to them.  But they have no trouble talking to a camera in their bedroom as if it were an old friend.

 It can be a great way for those who are shy or who struggle with interviews to at least get seen and heard when a traditional CV might fail them.  They can also use it to showcase their skills and let their personality shine through.

I know I for one would rather watch a selection of short video applications than trawl through page after page of the same but I suspect some will argue about objectivity.  However, if Employer’s are open minded enough to build it into their recruitment process I think there could be benefits for both parties.  

 What do you think?  Would you send a video application?
