I had done the video application assignment in people management class “BADM 202”. A video application is like a resume where people provide a video version from their resume and instead of writing and preparing a resume on paper or documents, they try to record a video of themselves that explains their experiences, skills, and brief introduction. The first thing that individuals must care about is timing and the video application must only be for 4 to 5 minutes, but they should not go over all topics that they brings in their resume like availability or something like that in a video application and they had to make sure to talk briefly about those points that are related to job position. The instructor gave students some hints that were really helpful; for example, looking directly at the camera, not the screen and selecting a neutral background, paying attention to your body language, and making sure your video is clear and audible.
My outcome learning:
I found a video application more powerful than all other types of resumes because the person who hires a new employee can have a closer sense of our experiences and skills and more importantly can see our faces before the interview. Moreover, it is like that they can go over and watch a video again.
