Video Resumes

A video resume created by ENERGIZED Testimonials is the perfect way for you to stand out to a potential employer!

Briefly state the basics (name, education, experience), and then sell yourself! For just $79, we’ll deliver to you a professionally edited video file, complete with graphics supporting your statements and making you look great!

Recording your video resume is easy and takes only seconds.

1. Make sure your room is quiet, and your webcam and microphone are working, and allow access to them.

2. Hit record, read the questions below and answer them in complete sentences. Add whatever you want; you don’t have to stick only to the questions.

3. When you’re done, click “Send Video Mail,”  enter your information and click “Send.” (No video is saved until you enter your name and email address and click “Send.”) That’s it!

(Mess up? Don’t worry about it! We’ll edit out your outtakes, we promise. If you’d rather start over and re-record, just hit “Stop” and then “Record” again. )

  1. What is your name? What do you have a degree or training in, and from what school? What is your (summarized) work experience? (e.g. “I’m Mike Smith. I have a Bachelor of Science from Northwestern University, and I earned an MBA at the University of Michigan.  I have more than a decade of management experience in the healthcare field.”)
  2. For what sort of position are you looking?
  3. What qualities/skills do you have that you want employers to know about? (Do you have a track record of closing big deals? Have you managed large budgets? Do you enjoy being in client-facing roles?)
  4. Summarize what you have to offer an employer. (e.g. “I know I would be a great addition to your sales team, and I’d really like to talk to you more about positions in that department.” Or, “I’m confident I could bring fresh ideas to your marketing efforts, and I’d welcome the opportunity to see how we could work together.”)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • No video resume will be edited until your paper resume is emailed to inquiries(at)energizedtestimonials.com. When your paper resume is received, you will receive information about paying for your video resume.
  • Your video resume will be brief (under one minute) so speak in concise statements, especially for the statements about your education and experience. Your paper resume can easily get details about those facts across.
  • Use your video resume to convey your intangible qualities: personality, relatability, passion.
  • Think before you make very specific statements. If you say, “I know I have a lot to contribute to your marketing team,” that video can be sent to any company with a marketing position available.  On the other hand, if you say, “I really want to sell widgets for the XYZ Company,” that’s fine… just don’t expect to send it to ABC Incorporated.
