Tips for Great Video Resumes

A tip of the hat to search engine optimization expert Joel Cheesman for bringing this video about video resumes to my attention. According to the very tongue in cheek Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, the best practices for video resumes are:


  1. Keep it short.
  2. Do not nap while you're filming your video resume as that makes you look lazy.
  3. Do not cry on camera unless you're seeking a position that requires crying. If you are, then cry it out.
  4. Work at a TV show because their production people can help you make a really cool video resume.
