Job seekers urged to use videos to sell themselves

Your resume may present a substantial word-description of what you are and what you can do but using videos to sell yourself to the job market can make a difference.

If you think that YouTube videos are only for entertainment then think again because you can use it to help companies find you! You can take advantage of the advantages offered by the growing popularity of the Internet by making use of videos to attract more employers to hire you.

If you are new to video production then look for online job search engines that will help you send your video resumes to your target employers. You can borrow a web camera to create your own video resume and then download it to sites like YouTube or Vidres.com.

While the use of written resumes is the traditional way of getting the employers to notice job applicants, video resumes are deemed more effective because the applicants can demonstrate their unique qualifications like good communication skills and winning personalities.
