Prepare your video resume

First of all you need to have a video resume. Not a boring selfie, not something that is going to take forever to do. You need a free software program that easy to use and show cases you. There is a product out there that does all of this – FaceCruit.

Why do you need a video resume and how do you make a video resume ? This is a good question. A video can be an extension to your application which you can showcase and communicate you where a resume can not.  A unique URL can be added to your online resume.
