Visume - Experiment With New Digital Requirement

VISUME

With the emergence of YouTube, inexpensive webcams and widespread broadband Internet access, innovative forms of e-recruitment have become a norm. Unlike the “.docx” version, Video Resumes—or Visume—allow you to demonstrate interpersonal, creative and technical skills to your employer, while showcasing your personality in a matter of minutes.
 
There are many people who are very much accustomed with Resume and might have mastered the art of interviews. But, with drastic changes in technology, high level of competition and emergence of Digital Media like nothing else, companies are looking for not only the strong academics but also the creative side of the candidates. This is going to be crucial as, with the advent of Automation, Cloud, AI and complex problem solving requirements, nature of job is changing. It is getting more and more dependent on collaboration and EQ.
What about the traditional ways and the existential crisis that might bother the current and previous generation is altogether a different issue to look into, but to make sure we sail successfully through these unprecedented times, ACCEPTING CHANGE and IMPLEMENTING THE CHANGES is very very important.
 
Through the class of Business Communication, this was my first attempt of Visume. There have been lot of learning through it –
What to do?
How to do?
…and even more importantly…..What not to do?
 

1] Have ABC                       - Have Alertness, Basic etiquettes and Clarity of thought.

2] Relevant Background    - Any non distracting and suitable to the profession you are choosing

3] Clear Audio and Video  - Good quality sound and clear visuals are must to complement hard work.

It`s not about your liking of the camera, it`s more about what you know and how you present. I believe if we understand and learn the dynamics of good presentation, ‘Camera or No Camera’, is not going to make any difference.

Here`s my first resume and it needs lot of improvement, but daring to share it as it would help you as well in understanding the Do`s and Dont`s.

My Visume, as I said, indeed needs lot of improvement and through all these learning, I promise that next time, I am going to make the best one.  I am working on improving my presentation skills.
And I am thankful for the opportunity and the important insight into real time requirement.
