Get Your Video RightTips On Making Your Introduction Video

Awesome!

When you’re applying for a job, sending a doc file is easy - select file, upload, submit. But recording a video is different - you need to know what you want to say, and say it without messing up.

So how do avoid messing up your video, and your one shot at your dream job?

VideoSpock shows you how...

1.Don’t Make It Your Resume Podcast

The biggest mistake you can make is to read out your resume. Your work experience, qualifications and education details are already there on your profile, so why repeat them?

Instead talk about instances where you’ve showcased skills, overcame difficulties (relevant to the job). In short, convince the employer why you should be hired.

2. Avoid Clutter

You may have helped the poor and taught a kid how to skateboard, but unless these are relevant to the job in question, avoid talking about them since your time is limited.

3. Do Your Research

Read about the company - their work culture, their modus operandi, etc. And most important, read the job description thoroughly. This will help you decide which parts of your accomplishments and experience are relevant for the job.

4. Suit Up!

Your video is the first thing that employers will see (even before they read your resume details), so make sure you make that first impression an awesome one. Be smartly dressed and look professional when facing the camera.

5. Check Volume

Most of the times, the volume on your device is either too low that your speech can barely be heard, or too high that it can be heard from Timbuktu. Check if it’s at the correct level before you start recording.

6. Practice, Practice, Practice

Getting in front of the camera can shake you up a bit, so make sure that you practice.Only refer to your points while talking on the video. The worst thing that you can do is read an entire speech. Its not a reading class, its a job interview.
