While video resumes are definitely not the norm for most companies, having one can provide a real advantage if you’re applying for creative positions.

That being said. It’s true that making your own video resume can appear a little intimidating at first. Don’t worry though, we’re here to help with a few tips and tricks!

Write a script

This first step might seem obvious to some, but it’s incredibly important. Make sure to put down everything you want to include in your resume, then write a script and learn it.

Focus on what’s important

This is relevant any time you have to write a resume, but it goes doubly for video ones. Don’t waste time telling people your life’s story, tell them what makes you great for that job and keep it short.

Have a clean background

Having a messy room isn’t really something that you’d get fired over, but not being willing to clean it up before filming your video resume is definitely not a good look.

Decent lighting does wonders

Good lighting is crucial to making a video look nice, especially when recording using a webcam or a mobile phone camera. When you’re filming your video resume, try to make sure your face is well lit from the front.

Make it visually interesting

Having a visually engaging video resume is a great way to stand out from the crowd and make sure the reviewer keeps listening throughout the entire duration. A little Motion Text to highlight important concepts or a relevant infographic are definitely going to help.

If you need help doing all that, we recommend giving Flixier a shot! Our online video editor is easy to figure out and makes creating videos feel as easy as putting together a PowerPoint presentation.
