Video Resumes


Career Builder is now offering job seekers the choice to post video highlights to their resumes. Thanks to computer technology, Web 2.0 makes it possible with more increasing capabilities and decreasing costs.

These video resumes can initially be seen as a good thing to make your resume unique and different. But you have to be careful. In the midst of trying to make your video edgy and authentic, you don't want your videos to resemble videos seen on shows like America's Funniest Home Videos.

So these video resumes can add a touch to a resume, but just remember to think twice before posting your video and make sure you aim for a polished finished product so you don't kill your chance of an employer skipping past your resume.
