Video CVs provide you with an opportunity to sell your skills creatively, by connecting with the employers uniquely. Graduatewise.com, the amazing marketplace for professionals, offers this feature to upload your Video CV along with rest of the details.
While you would be able to use this attribute upon registering with them, you should be able to produce a video that could convey how you can benefit the company. Creating an impactful video CV requires skills and creativity.
Candidates must keep in mind the following points if they are going to build such CVs, and grab those desirable job offers through Graduatewise.com.
1. Concise yet meaningful:
Your video should not exceed 2 minutes. It should not be a lengthy one. Only the highest achievements filtered carefully should make it to your video that would give them a decent enough glimpse of your professional journey.
2. Job relevance:
There are several industries and every one of them requires a separate set of skills. Hence, you cannot use one CV for all job offers. For different industries and companies you need to create individual videos that would cater to the particular job role. So instead of mixing up everything, take some pains and build more than one video for all the companies that you have applied to.
3. Be creative:
But not tacky. You have great scope to show your creativity and innovation while creating Video CV, but also make sure that it stays professional and elegant. Your tone, your humour, the pace of speaking, all should be timed well. The graphics that you are going to use, any pictures or clip art needed for the video must showcase your professional excellence.
4. Dress appropriately:
It’s very important to dress up suitably while creating the video. You are on the camera and apart from looking good, you should also dress professionally. Your overall mannerism would be affected by what you wear, and how you conduct yourself, so do not take it for granted.
5. Watch your tone:
You are not out there to read out your written CV for the employer. You have to share the important parts of your career in a qualified way. So don’t waste those 2 mins by simply reading out flat what-ever is mentioned on your profile. Manage and maintain your pitch at the right places, keeping it engaging and interesting.
Remember that it’s your profile that you would be sharing through the video and that is an important part of getting the job you have applied for. Using the right techniques, a good software, with effective editing tools will always give you good results.
Video CVs are an excellent way to connect with the employers, it shortens the interview selection process immensely. Employers are able to assess your personality to a large extent. It's a great way to impress them, especially for remote candidates. Keep it professional and avoid putting anything on it that could seem improper. We hope these essential tips to create an impactful CV will get you the internships sooner than you can think of.
