Why You Should be Making Videos

Over the past week I’ve collected quite a few links from those much smarter than me on how to improve your job profile.

What’s been consistent in their advice:

• Use job descriptions and wordclouds.com to generate the most used words, THEN tailor your resume for those exact words
• Add value — Create something that most applications don’t (ie video, personal projects/presentations) that show your interest
• Prep for interviews, take notes during, and learn from each by identifying strengths/weaknesses
• Always follow up post interview
• Do the things that others don’t, and get the jobs that you want

I’ve been applying using these strategies and have continually received application views as well as interviews.

The next step in my progression is to focus on creating value for the companies I apply and really want to work for.

The Power of Video

Social media shows how we prefer information

Facebook is primarily writing

Instagram is highly visual

Twitter is for brevity in writing

and the up and comer Tik Tok is heavy on video
