Did Video Kill the Resume Star? Or create a new way to open doors!

Video Did NOT kill the Resume Star, but it did create a new way to tell people you are looking for work...   Jobseekers often ask how they can tap the power of a social media Job Search.  In this edition we will cover the Video Resume.. You've no doubt seen the debates pro and con. I am here to say, Every LITTLE thing you do is Magic, if you keep your focus on keeping it simple, your skills easy to remember, and your resume campaign new and vital. 

Here is a different stratetgy for resume and job search video.. Introduce your elevator speeech and provide a links to the traditional material for your jobsearch.  Some would say whats the point is it really worth it.. Ever try to find a new way to remind people  "dont you, forget about me,?  While you continue your quest for the perfect job.. 

This becomes a way that  you and others can INTRODUCE YOU easily to others  and provide the information.. In marketing and also in education, there is the notion of 'tell them',  summarize,  and then 'tell them what you told them'.  Traditional "send the resume, and cover letter" alone does not really do that.. but here is a nice strategy that is free to anyone with video camera or even a cell phone with video.. You can upload to Facebook and/or Youtube in minutes.. You can wrap a blog around it.. You can even do an "industry news blog, and include it in your "signoff".  Most of all you are worth while, why not explore that which provides new and fresh ways to demonstrate it!?
