How good is a VR
Firstly, a Video Resume (VR) saves recruiters’ time. Watching a 3-minute VR, which is usually done filming popular compulsory interview questions and answers, ahead of the appointment saves the time and efforts of going through these basic questions yet once again so that only more advanced and specific questions need to be asked and answered in the real interview.
Next, it creates an impression on the potential employer. Obviously, a VR maker is creative and knows how to exploit trendy technology for serious matter like application. Good! Exactly the two key points many employers are looking for.
Last but not least, the VR makes the applicant stand out from the crowds of documents and all.
Something to note
Creative doesn’t have to mean weird.
When posting the VR on popular video hosting websites such as YouTube, the owner must be aware that internet trolls, spammers and the envious are always lurking for preys. Bad comments, spam going through the email address that the applicant gives out, exposure to ridicule are just a few harassment to name. An advice is to know the technology well enough to prevent attacks and protect one’s self.
Full speed ahead, job seekers with VR!
