How to Create a YouTube Resume

How to Create a YouTube ResumeWhile a resume is usually your first introduction to potential employers, it doesn't mean that you have to show the whole world what you look like when you're walking down the street. With the ability to create a YouTube resume, you can keep any secrets from your potential employer and show how enthusiastic you are about your skills and talents.It's important to use a professional-looking video in a professional way. You do not want to have a resume with a video that seems tacky or amateurish. A video that looks professional looking is more likely to get noticed by your potential employer than a resume that does not follow any type of format.One thing you should know before creating a video, however, is that it should be under a formal form of text. If you upload your video to a public website like YouTube, you may want to have it published on the site. Keep in mind that if your video is about something you have not done, it may get you in trouble if the person viewing it has shared it on social networking sites. There may also be laws about using a resume and video to deceive the public, as well as laws that protect people from having their identities used by others.Regardless of where you post your video, however, it should be posted under the YouTube Creative Commons license. This means that you have the option of selling your video or keeping it for personal use.It's important to know that there are several different options available to you, depending on what type of video you want to create. For example, you can have a video that shows someone executing some specific skill. Or you can create a video that has people chatting or commenting on how they would hire you or what type of job you could do.Make sure that you choose a video that is a good representation of who you are. A video will have more chance of getting noticed by your potential employer if it is as good as possible. A great video will have the same looks and styl e as your actual resume, making it appear to be a reflection of you as a person.In order to create a YouTube resume that fits into all types of situations, though, you need to practice making different videos. You can watch a video on YouTube before you even create it, so that you don't get frustrated.

93% of Workers Are More Productive Outside the Office

93% of Workers Are More Productive Outside the Office If you’re like most workers, the location in which you do your job isn’t up to you. Your company either allows employees to work from home, on a part-time or full-time basis … or mandates that everyone comes into the office. If your employer is in the latter camp, they might want to rethink their strategy. According to FlexJobs’ 5th Annual Super Survey, only 7 percent of workers say they’re most productive at work. FlexJobs surveyed more than 3,100 respondents who described themselves as interested in work flexibility, and found that workers in many demographics felt they were more productive almost anywhere else but in the office. Flexible work, including the ability to work from home, appealed to entrepreneurs, working parents, introverts, students, and military spouses, among others, and included every generation of workers, FlexJobs said in a statement.
