Video Resume

Video resumes are a way to give potential employers a quick preview of traits that simply can not be conveyed through a written resume. Personal manner, attitude, and other traits are very important to employers in the hiring process. A video resume gives you the chance to demonstrate these often overlooked attributes.

Many video resumes on the market today consist of homemade videos that come across as inconsistent and unprofessional. Our Video Resume service puts you in touch with trained professionals who ensure you are captured on video in the most positive way. You end up with a finished product that will guarantee you'll stand out among the thousands of other job candidates in the marketplace.

 
 
  Why Are Video Resumes So Important?
Having a Talent Train video resume will help you stand out from the millions of boring paper resumes floating across the desks of hiring managers!
 
How Our Video Resumes Work
 
  1. Written resumes are queried for qualifications. Only candidates that fit the search criteria will appear in the search results.
  2. Clients cannot search Talent Train's video resumes exclusively. They have to look for criteria within the written resume first.
  3. Only after the written resume is viewed will the employer be able to view the candidates video resume. This method helps prevent employers from choosing interviews by video qualifactions without reading the written qualifications as well.
 
Video Resume Facts
According to the 2007 Video Resume Survey by career publisher Vault Inc. (Vault.com), 89% of employers said that they would watch a video resume. The majority said the primary reason they would value video resumes is for the ability to assess a candidate's professional presentation and demeanor.

Even though video resumes are considered a new concept to most hiring managers, this survey made clear that the vast majority are receptive to it and most employers believe video resumes will become a common addition to future job applications.
