Get an edge on that super-competitive job by creating a video resume instead of boring, templated dead-tree version. Student resource Education Portal claims that the video approach can get potential employers to want face time with you—as long as you still consider the basics for interview etiquette. Dress appropriately, keep it brief, practice your speech, and prepare by looking at other professional videos for encouragement and tips. Whatever you do, don't do what this guy did. While video resumes are becoming more popular, they may not work for everyone; check with the human resources department of the company you're applying for to make sure that your hard work isn't going to waste.
