It helps them assess the candidate better, in terms of how presentable, creative, and interactive they are. These CVs have gained much attention, and to ease the hiring process for candidates, our sister platform Graduatewise.com has enabled this feature of uploading the Video CV. Candidates can simply create their video and upload it for the employers to go through it. At Internwise.com, we keep the candidates updated with all that is latest and upcoming in the hiring world. Let’s look at how important digital CVs are for modern-day candidates:
1. Shows your personality. Video CVs give you a chance to express your personality to the employer. Every industry requires a certain disposition, so while shooting your video, that behaviour is carried forward to the employers as well. Key tip - Powerfully portray yourself ensuring professional body language.
2. Forms an impression. Your video will form an opinion of yourself in the mind of the employer, and the better it is, the quicker your selection process is. It helps to the extent that even if you lack any of the required skills, your overall impression can save you. Key tip - Stay comfortable yet confident.
3. Sell yourself. Video CVs allow candidates to sell their skills better. You never know how the hiring panel will take your CV on paper, but when you speak out about those skills convincingly and efficiently, that’s how your job is done well. Employers always look for people who can sell their skills, and who are good marketers, even if it’s about their profile. Key tip - Sell your passion for the role you are looking for.
4. Guarantees your Presence. A paper CV can be dismissed but a small video clip always grabs attention. Recruiters would be tempted to go through what you have to say if the CV plays in front of them. While creating a profile on Graduatewise, apart from all the information, the Video CV section helps you create a positive impact. It automatically ups your selection likelihood. Key tip - Be and look professional throughout the video.
5. Displays Tech Savviness. Not everyone is creating their digital profiles, but when employers notice that YOU have, it inevitably attracts them to your profile. It also shows your technical skills, as well as your curiosity to learn anything new and upcoming in the tech market. This builds a positive impression on the employer.
6. You’ve Got the Control. When you upload your Video CV, you have all the control over how you appear and sound to the employer. For every given position, you will manage how you want to portray yourself, and what would be the best way to speak and showcase your talents. Through a Video CV, you create the personality that helps you get that internship. If are still watching us, here's a bonus tip:
7 - How long should be my video presentation? In such a fast-paced world, you must sell yourself within a minute video. Yes, you heard it right. 1 minute, that's all you should aim for! Video CVs help employers understand if you bring the right skills to the table. Although there are plenty of video editing software tools out there, don't get distracted. Focus on building good content using your smartphone or laptop camera.
Those that can show they can easily adjust to new situations are highly sought after. A video CV is a great way to demonstrate that you can do this. Applicants that adhere to the most recent developments in the job market show potential employers that they are adaptable and open to learning new things. Differentiating yourself from other applicants in this way might help demonstrate to a company that you are well-versed in the use of modern technology.
