Assalamulaikum today i want to share how to make a visume for job hunting.
First what is a visume? Visume or video resume is a short video that shows potential employers the value u can bring to their company and helps you make an impression that reaches beyond the page. Creating a custom video gives you a chance to make a great first impression.
1.Draft a script.
Get the key points you’d like to discuss down on paper. Don’t use vague phrases like “team player” and “detail orientated.” Show the viewer you’ve got the skills by using concrete examples of what you’ve done.
2. Create with your audience in mind.
Who’s going to see this video? What problems do they have? How can you help solve them? Show the viewer why you’re valuable and why they should have you on their team.
3. Keep it short.
People are busy. Get to the point quickly while keeping it engaging. Stick to 60 to 90 seconds.
4. Play to your strengths.
Are you an in front of the camera or a behind the scenes person? Choose a video format that works best for you and that helps you put your best foot forward.
5. Use quality equipment.
If you decide to stand in front of the camera, use a good mic and camera, light the scene properly and film somewhere quiet.
6. Slow down.
Most of us have a tendency to speed up when we’re nervous or uncomfortable. Slow down. Remember, you can take as many takes as it takes (now say that three time fast.)
7. Include relevant links.
The video resume grabbed their attention. It’s time to bring it home. Include links to your resume, your portfolio and relevant social media channels.
8. Be yourself.
Working for a company is a two-way street. You need to fit well together. Breathe, relax and be yourself. Easy, right?
