Even though there are several ways to search for jobs, it becomes very tough and competitive to get selected for the one that you want. Graduatewise.com helps you create a profile that features yourself in the form of the Video CV. It helps employers connect with you without any worries.
But there are some points that you need to take care of while creating an impressive Video profile. Once you upload it, a lot of employers would go through it, so it’s necessary to build your profile carefully, with more chances of selections. What all should be covered in your Video CV?
1. Outline your Career:
Before you start recording, create an outline of your whole content. Create a story out of all the years that you studied, and worked to fulfil your dreams, and how you will help companies grow. This would impress hiring managers as this shows how organized you are. Put forth the learnings that could make you an asset for the next role.
2. Take care of the Time Limit:
The Video CV should not be more than 2 minutes. Start with creating content for 30 seconds or more, and end before it reaches 2 minutes. Anything more than that would be considered time-consuming. Try and keep the communication simple and clear. That way the receiver will not have to play it repeatedly to understand what you are trying to convey.
3. Use Graphics as Required:
Only text won’t seem as impactful, so showcase your graphic and video editing talent by including as much infographic content as you can. Use of charts, drawings, photos that show your experience is an optimum way to utilize the time frame.
4. Keep it To the Point:
Concise yet meaningful content is the key to success these days. No one likes essays and long paragraphs about candidates. So pick out only the important stuff that you believe would be a huge benefit for the company as well. If you are trying to get that Project Manager Job, speak about any project that you managed successfully. Give examples, it helps to connect.
5. Always keep it open-ended:
Invite hiring managers to go through your profiles, on social media, professional job boards, marketplaces like Graduatewise.com to understand your work and employment history in depth. Your video CV should bring out your best as a potential candidate instead of a waste of time for the employer.
Apart from introducing yourself on the video, using colours and other visuals create a good impression on the receiver. You may have to create different Video CVs for different job roles, especially if they belong to different sectors. That shows your innovation and resourcefulness. Building the video as per the job you are applying to, is the whole point of this exercise.
