Why Video Resumes make a difference!
Misconceptions about Video Resumes.
A Video Resume should be a short Video of yourself that introduces you personally and your objectives. It should include a brief overview of what you are looking for and why a company should hire you rather than any other applicants. There are certainly ways to do it differently and we all remember Aleksey Vayner’s Video Resume which he posted on Youtube…. So the first problem is Youtube itself… because everybody can view your Video but you only want HR Professional or Recruiters to view your Video and not the entire world. On mayomann.com you can be certain, that we protect your privacy and only Recruiters and HR Professionals who have posted jobs on Mayomann will be able to view your Video Resume.
Why do you apply to a job?
To get invited to an interview! If you think about it, the main purpose a Resume has is to get invited to an interview. Or have you ever received a employment contract from anyone after you just submitted your resume? You want to get invited to an interview because you want to shine with your personality and convince the employer why they should hire you, rather than all the other applicants.
On Mayomann.com you are able to combine two steps in one. You introduce yourself professionally with your qualifications and add a short video resume of yourself which explains to the Recruiter or Human Resource Manager why you are the right person to hire. So upload your short Video Resume today and apply online on Mayomann.com.
