A video resume is a 1-3 minute video where you tell the potential employer about yourself by introducing yourself, giving your 30 second elevator speech, talking about or showcasing your skills and expience, and inviting the viewer to contact you.

It is not intended to replace the standard resume, it enhances it.   Include a link to your video resume from your standard resume and cover letter so employers can click and view.   It gives employers a taste of who you are that can't be seen in your paper resume.

A good video resume can assist job seekers to effectively market themselves if it's done right.

A good video resume should be between 1 and 3 minutes long.   Most people will watch up to 2 minutes without losing interest.   Anything over 3 minutes, and you risk the viewer giving up and not watching the entire video.

If your video resume is close to 2 minutes or more, we recommend adding a few features to add interest, such as background music, bullet points, splash screens, and photos of your work.   This helps to keep your viewer's attention.

Your video resume should be about 1 to 3 minutes long.   You'll want to introduce yourself, give your elevator speech, describe your experience and skills, summarize why you're a good candidate, thankt the viewer for their time, and invite them to contact you.
