Video Resumes: The Wave of the Future
By Amit Garg, Spotlight247.com
Many view job hunting and resume writing as an art: something that requires discipline, timing, and networking. Becoming more and more prominent, however, is the use of video resumes by job seekers to attract the attention of potential employers. In a 2007 survey conducted by Spotlight247.com at various United States college campuses, 68% of potential job seekers revealed that they would be interested in creating a video resume over a traditional resume, and 94% thought a video added to their resume would give them a better chance to showcase their skills, personality, and talents over a paper resume. The job search has highly evolved since the days of hand writing resumes on professional linen paper and stuffing them in matching envelopes. Employers typically accept electronic versions of traditional resumes these days, while many have made this a requirement. What is even more interesting is that many employers are now looking up many of their potential "employees to be" on social networking sites to delve deeper into their personality, and see what type of person they really are. From the interest SpotLight247.com has received from the current college-aged generation, video resumes may become the norm in the job hiring and seeking process. You can be yourself, get dressed up, and express yourself in your Video Resume and send it to your potential employer. All of this can be done utilizing the SpotLight247 ™ service.
