Final Thoughts

Common Themes• Universal truth - people don’t use paper anymore – find an online medium that works for your career goals.

• If you are in the new media space use new media spaces like Vizualizeme, YouTube, or simply add a Video resume button to your blog

• If you are in the traditional bricks and mortar space, use traditional sites like LinkedIN, Monster, SimplyHired, Ladders

• Always know your audience and don’t forget the basics

• Creative resumes may be a good way to get your foot in the door in creative job spaces, but they last forever.

Do Video Resumes Work?• 89% of employers revealed that they would watch a

video resume if it were submitted to them. Although most employers have not yet used this new technology as an evaluative tool -- only 17% have actually viewed a video resume - the vast majority are receptive to it.

• The primary reason why employers would value video resumes is the ability to assess a candidate's professional presentation and demeanor (52%).
