Project #3 Video Resumes: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good: There are many good qualities of using a video resume. They are great ways to meet the client without having to bring them in for an interview and help manage time better for the employer. They are also an innovative and a new way to look at things when hiring or being hired.

The Bad: One of the things I don’t like about video blogging is that the employer might get the wrong idea about you through something you do in the video that you would be able to explain in reality. Also, the employer can turn off the video whenever if he or she likes, unlike a real interview where you get a fair share of their time.

The Ugly: Video resumes can also seem quite cheesy to me. Being that they lack the reality of someone’s presence I feel as if the employer might have a hard time taking this person trying to be hired seriously. It may come off as being too lazy to make it to an actual interview and even the person could seem unsocial.
