For people who are familiar with traditional resume, here is an intersting article i read yesterday in Business Line supplementary Eworld dated Monday June 4,2007 page no 1 under the heading “Present your visume”.

The interesting part on the article is Vault Inc, a carrer consulting firm informally asked employers if they would watch a video resume if it were submitted to them and most said yes. Interestingly, The Employers also said video resumes would become a common addition to future job application.

How to shoot a Video Resume.

• You need a video camera or web cam (most laptops today comes inbuilt with webcam, thanx apple for driving it from front)
• Good lighting conditions
• Basic editing applications like Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere or Quicktime for Mac (which has the capability to capture video directly from webcam or external cameras)
• Sound filters
• Better encoding formats like H.264, Flv or WMV for Web and Mpeg2 for DVD

Resume in DVD will be more appealing if the projects done by the candidate made as a screencast movie and included in the DVD with Menus like Visume, Projets X, Y, Z.. etc.,
