Here are the steps to preparing a video resume:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Write a Script<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let the word \u201cscript\u201d scare you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply write down what you want to say to the recruiter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write like you talk. Make sure it has a conversational tone to it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your sentences short. Use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/zety.com\/blog\/resume-action-words\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">action verbs and power words.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while filming, avoid directly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90188269\/planning-to-speak-from-a-script-read-this-first\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reading from the script<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to avoid sounding unnatural.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather, memorize the script to sound more conversational and polished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or better yet, create an outline of the main points and expand on them later while shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That way, you\u2019d sound less rehearsed and more conversational but perhaps a little less polished.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Choose the Right Background and Lighting<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to include footage of you talking directly to the camera?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick a space with the right background and lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a background that\u2019s distraction-free and tidy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the lighting, you can use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MOUNTDOG-Photography-Reflector-Professional-Equipment\/dp\/B08CMRJ2WB\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">softbox<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to light your face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t have one? Simply sit facing a brightly-lit window on a sunny day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your video resume have animated scenes in it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or do you want to tell a story using an animation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find background illustrations on sites like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepik.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freepik<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vecteezy.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vecteezy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or you can use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animaker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get free access to high-quality background illustrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Set Up a Video and Audio Recording Device<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Canon-Mark-Frame-Digital-Camera\/dp\/B01KURGS9E\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">camera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or smartphone that can record videos in HD quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blue-Yeti-USB-Microphone-Silver\/dp\/B00N1YPXW2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">microphone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that captures high-quality audio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your voice is clear\u2014whether you\u2019re speaking directly to the camera or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/add-voiceover-to-video\">recording a voiceover<\/a> using your microphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Endurax-Camera-Aluminum-Universal-Shutter\/dp\/B088YSHB3Q\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tripod<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or gimbal to record footage that\u2019s clear and stable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Add a Call-to-action<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say by the end of the video a recruiter is impressed by your skills and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He or she is interested in learning more about you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What then?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the next step you\u2019d want them to take?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">End the video with an action you want them to take.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you can ask them to visit your personal site or LinkedIn profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Say something that would motivate the viewers to take that action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Collect Additional Visuals<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start editing, collect all the visuals you\u2019d need to get your message across clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right visuals will help clearly illustrate what you\u2019re saying in the script.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the footage, you\u2019d need photos, infographics, clippings, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or if it\u2019s an animation, you\u2019d need props, shapes, and other animation assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use Animaker to gain access to tons of readymade visuals and animations for various use cases and industries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Edit the Video<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have all the footage and visuals, time to put it all together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, review the footage you\u2019ve captured so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And pick the ones that you think are the best takes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, you\u2019d need a video editing tool to edit and fine-tune the footage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple tool that lets you trim and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/merge-video\">merge video clips<\/a> into a video that flows smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use Animaker\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/online-video-editor\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online video editor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to quickly do that on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No need to hire a freelance video editor or learn a complex video editing software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No video editing experience or know-how is necessary to use our tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animaker\u2019s video editor lets you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Precisely cut or trim your videos to your desired length.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add beautiful, readymade transitions between scenes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quickly merge several video clips.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animate text with the touch of a button.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add beautiful filters to enhance the video.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Get Feedback<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re done editing your video resume, review it a few times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure everything is clear and organized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve reviewed it for flaws, ask a friend or colleague to critique it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can provide you valuable feedback on how you can improve it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tips\">7 Top Tips for Creating an Effective Video Resume<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the top tips for making video resumes that\u2019ll help you land more interviews:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Personalize Your Video Resume<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalize your video resume for each job you apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A personalized video resume lets the employer know how much the role means to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What experience or skills do you think they\u2019re looking for in their ideal candidate?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk about specific skills, experiences, qualifications, and key achievements that make you a great fit for the position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, answer why you want to join the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Keep It Short<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid talking about every skill and experience you\u2019ve gathered so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No point in creating a video resume if that\u2019s the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk only about what\u2019s relevant to the job role you\u2019re applying for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, recruiters are busy people and typically scan resumes to save time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average recruiter spends about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/blog\/scanning-resumes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 seconds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> scanning a resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019d rather scan 50 or 100 more resumes than watch your lengthy video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure it gets watched till the end, keep it between 30 and 90 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But make sure it\u2019s no longer than 2 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Be Patient and Record Multiple Shots<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Record each segment of your video several times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep shooting; you rarely get it right the first or second time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more footage you have, the higher your chances of finding something worth keeping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While talking, you can look at the lens of the camera to make eye-contact with the viewer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding it hard to capture a fluently flowing sequence?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make pauses between sentences and cut them out later when editing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Be Professional<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must look professional, so dress as you would for an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain a professional demeanor throughout the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it ain\u2019t enough to just dress or behave like a professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quality of your video resume needs to be professional too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means the quality of the video, audio, lighting, editing, etc., should be professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Be Yourself<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must look and sound professional but be yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let your natural self come through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t try to be someone you\u2019re not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that after you land the interview, your recruiter will get to see your true nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Tell a Story<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all love a good story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can answer why you\u2019re a great fit for the role in the form of a story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A story is much more engaging than a pitch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So rather than making a pitch, tell a compelling and engaging story.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Add What\u2019s Not in Your Resume<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you missed adding a specific skill or experience to your application?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that you think would help move the needle in bagging the role?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can talk about it in your video resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, make sure it\u2019s relevant to the job role.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"use\">How to Use Your Video Resume to Get Interviews<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you can get it in front of the recruiter, you\u2019ll need to publish it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can publish it on Youtube or Vimeo or Wistia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vimeo is your best bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It lets you upload your video for free and lets you customize the video\u2019s appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, you can consider adding your video resume to your Linkedin profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s
