Video resumes makes the candidates to go beyond traditional methods of applying for a job by making typically 60 seconds video, to make the best first impression to an employer.

A video resume lets the employer literally see you and hear your case (via your communication skills, appearance and personality) as the best candidate for the job – all before the interview takes place. It offers the chance to expand and show the skills you have to offer, not just to recite what’s already on your resume. In fact, your 60 second video resume can give you a better chance to get noticed by employers, as paper resumes are only looked by recruiters for up to six seconds before a decision is made.
