One Sure Way to Land a Job in Less Than a Minute
By Jose de la Cruz | Jan 26, 2016 07:31 PM EST
Landing a job is really easy if you know how. If you are qualified for the position you are aiming for and you have more than enough experience, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Not anymore.
The advent of the internet made job applications even easier and faster. But the only problem is that almost everybody is doing the same thing - searching for jobs online, passing their applications online, and so forth.
Therefore, if you are doing the same thing, a prospective employer will just look at your application as just 'one of them.' You need to distinguish yourself from the rest so that a prospective employer will notice your difference. Being different is your foot at the door.
And how will you do that? Simple: make a video CV and give a copy or attach it to your job applications.
What is a video CV? It is still a CV of sorts in that it contains all your qualifications, from your education, extra-curricular activities, track of experiences, down to the social and civic organizations that you are a member of.
The big difference is that it is not listed on paper, but it is done, in an attractive and interesting way, in a video format. In other words, have your CV on video - something that is seen and heard, and not just something as cold as reading an old book from the far end corner of a library.
Is your interest piqued already? If you do, then you need to start learning how to make your own video CV. There are a lot of instructions about this subject on the internet. Pick one that is not difficult to do.
Or you can hire a professional to do it. This would be appropriate if you are seeking a position in the upper management level. Your video CV must really be professionally done because you don't know if your rivals are also doing it.
