Job search these days
is no longer about text resumes and interviews. With hundreds of candidates
vying for a single job opening, layoff or laid off experienced candidates
requires a competitive edge in order to shine through and make an impact.
Video cover letter is
one such tool which arms the candidate with a capability to make an impact
through a short video by which a candidate can introduce, share brief personal
and experience details, showcase his/her skill set which can make a lasting
impression on interviewer/recruiter. If done correctly, it can very well be the
difference between being ignored or getting the interview call.
A well cut out Video
cover letter with smart layout and crisp selection of words can project a
candidate’s articulate nature, energy levels and confidence. An effective video
cover letter should be engaging and filled with just enough information about
the skills that the recruiter will want to know more. A video cover letter can
draw recruiter’s attention to the dimensions which cannot be projected in text
resume.
With the introduction
of technology and smart phones at our disposal, creating a Video Cover letter
is a simpler task. You can also refer the below link to learn more on how to create
