The unprecedented economic crisis has derived some working people out of a job. Are you one of those unfortunate? If the answer is yes, then don’t be upset, just cheer up and find relief in this essay on how to create a competitive resume.
Resumes play a vital role in job hunting. Generally, an attractive resume can work magic in opening the door of your expecting company. To compete in a hot position, you must be more confident and skilled than other candidates to arouse the first consideration of the recruiters. And all your talents and experience should be reflected in a brief resume, which serves as the first impression to potential employers.
Then how to create a catching resume to best sell yourself? Instead of a traditional paper resume, you can try to introduce yourself in a dynamic video. That’s what we call as Video Resume. A video resume is another way for job applicants to showcase their abilities. It allows prospective employers to see, hear and get a feel for how the applicants present themselves.
With the increase of video-hosting sites like YouTube, usage of recorders, DVDs and broadband Internet, video resumes are taking on more popularity. The resumes in lively video are now widely accepted by companies throughout the world for varying professions. However, the need for objectivity in these videos is still a serious issue. Some recruiters feel that a video alone does not give an employer enough information about a candidate to make a proper evaluation of the applicant’s potential and more important skills. One article suggests that
"While a video resume introduces applicants on camera, the value such visual imagery adds is debatable. A text resume allows for specific pieces of information to be parsed out and compared across candidates. When the information is delivered verbally, recruiters need to glean the details themselves."
Nevertheless, the advantages of a video resume overweigh its deficiency. It is expected to be the next wave on the world’s job market if efficiently evolved. A simple solution to the objectivity issue is to compose rich content for a video resume. Then you can employ MS PowerPoint, a great authoring tool of content, to bridge the gap of loss in objectivity. Use PowerPoint to combine your resume text with pleasant music, elegant images, intuitive charts and vivid animations, then save the dynamic PowerPoint resume as video using a conversion program (e.g. Moyea PPT to Video Converter). If you have to make editions on your video resume, just go to the source PowerPoint resume!
It is easy, isn’t it? Now, design an eye-popping video resume out of the easy-to-use PowerPoint to capture more job opportunities.
IMPORTANT:
Before submitting a video resume to a recruiter, please remember:
1. Make sure whether video resumes are accepted by the target recruiters.
2. The video length is properly tailored (usu. 1- 3 min) to avoid fatiguing your audience.

Text resumes will be around for a long time. Because everyone can type.
But everyone cannot write a story or a poem.
So, there will also be a demand for expert / professional resume – writers, for a long time to come.
But an ever-increasing number of recruiters feel that graphical / visual / audio resumes have an edge over plain text resumes – prompting emergence of job-portals such as

which inspired me to come-up with my own

( it is easy to be inspired, but , at the age of 77 , difficult to implement ! )

Fantastic post. Continue to logging more great articles. Been surveying your blog for 7 days at present and I should tell I am starting to like your post. I require to acknowledge how do I subscribe to to your blog?
Food for thought, (at least the bits I could make out easily). I am color blind (deuteranopia to be precise). I mainly use Safari browser (no idea if that is of any importance), and a lot of your webpage is a bit of a strain on my eyes. I know it is my problem to deal with, in truth, but it would be kind if you would consider color blind folk like me when carrying out the next web page re-working.

I would have to comment this is an awesome piece of work. I say this needs mentioning elsewhere. Would you mind if I placed a link on my site to this post?
I keep listening to the news speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best site to get one.
Hello Guru, what entice you to post an article. This article was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in this subject. So, just want to say great job!
As compared to a jobseeker writing her own resume, a resume written by a professional expert resume-writer would any day prove better.
But
Before sending that well-written resume to a recruiter, can a jobseeker figure-out in advance what would happen if that resume
gets ” rated / ranked / scored ” by recruiter ?
gets compared automatically with resumes of other applicants ?
Will she get an interview-call ?
To know what is likely to happen , she has to just type “Resume Rater” in Google / Yahoo / Bing , and download this software tool ( free and without even login ) from any of the 35+ websites. Then rate her resume.
Resume Rater mimics the ” resume-evaluation ” process of recruiters’ minds but does it in an unbiased / objective way.
Resume Rater is absolutely non – discriminatory.

When you open net, you are bombarded with millions of article. However, unfortunately most of them are just a piece of junk. It is difficult to even read first paragraph of such articles. However, this article is not like them. It contains quality content, which can bind you to finish till the last words.
This site looks good as it will save me a load of time crawling around for Outsourcers. here I post once and then wait for the bids.
Using PowerPoint as a media for resumes is a great concept. Resumes don’t have to be just text. Or just video. A rich media resume, like those supported on http://intervu.me, can be a combination of audio, video, images, slides, and text. You can be as creative as you want to be. It sure makes for a better resume for artistic people who need to show examples of their art.
Someone I work with visits your site quite often and recommended it to me to read as well. The writing style is superior and the content is relevant. Thanks for the insight you provide the readers!
