1. How to create a
GREAT VIDEO CV
with e-me
I n today’s competitive job market employers are
looking for new ways to select candidates. And t
candidates.
stand out from the crowd you need to be more
to
creative with your job application. E-me videos are a
brilliant way to do this – videos are becoming
increasingly popular as a recruitment method and
more people want to use them to show themselves in
the best light.

2. New Dimension
imension
The best thing about e mes is that they say so much more about
e-mes
you than a written CV can ever do. A big drawback with a CV is
that it only tells an employer what you have done so far in your
career and what you studied at university. A video adds a whole
new dimension to your application.
A Meet The Real Me e-me is your chance to tell us about the
me
real you, to show your true personality, passion and enthusiasm
for a new job. So, the most important thing to do is make sure
your e me has some energy and that you look AND sound
e-me
excited about a new opportunity!
The good news is that e e-mes are easy to produce, providing you
spend a little bit of time on advance preparation.

3. You CAN’T GO WRONG if you follow five simple steps:
Prepare.
Think what you are going to say well before you sit
down in front of the camera. Try out your answers in
the mirror first if you like, but don’t over rehearse as
you want to sound natural.
Check your surroundings.
Aim for a neutral background like a blank wall (an
unmade bed or untidy room in the background gives a
poor impression). You can be more creative with your
surroundings as long as it’s not distracting. You want
to be the sole focus of the video. Make sure the room is quiet – no loud music
from the next room or noisy traffic outside.
Keep it simple.
You won't get a new job just because you spoke the
longest. Try to avoid simply listing things that you've done
est.
or studied. Instead elaborate on one job/activity/course,
nstead
especially if it highlights your potential and drive.

4. Don't expect to get it right the first time
time.
Use the re-record function as many times as you
record
want, listen to yourself and try to think like an
employer - if you watched the video would you
pick up the phone to invite you to an interview? If
the answer is yes, then it's good enough so save
it.
Make sure your profile is active
active.
Then upload your written CV, set the
hen
locations you want to work in and what type
ations
of job you are looking for.
Then sit back and wait for the phone to ring!
