I haven't created a video resume and in fact, heard the first time. I would love to know if you have created it, what was your experience.

I actually had to do that once and it was really awkward because I am super duper conscious when I look into the camera.
I love talking though!
But given the camera in my face scenario, it was one big task.
I guess that's a reason I never heard back from the company that I applied to at that point of time..lel...
@heffendi Unfortunately, Some people have camera shyness or Scopophobia; in video resumes, they can not show their confidence and capabilities; this is a serious drawback of a video resume.
@elena_cirera Absolutely agree to that! Video resumes to some extent are not a fair way for screening.
I haven't done a video resume on my own. BUT when I was in the job search process, there were several platforms HR departments sent me to, where I was asked to create a video resume and answer a few questions. It was pretty cool.
@dawn_veltri1 Many organizations prefer video resumes for particular job categories. Would you like to name a few platforms used by some HR departments?
@elena_cirera Hi Elena, It was quite a while ago, so I don't remember most of them, but one was Hirevue.
I haven't thought about this, but maybe it makes sense. It would be nice to have a 30 secs video to present your motivation and a short summary of who you are. Do you know any platforms that allow this?
@bogomep It could be some sort of a short interview to show your interest and motivation for the job. My product VIDMONIALS provides a facility for remote video recording. A user of Vidmonials can send a web link to any person to record a video for them; that person can record a video for Vidmonials' user without downloading any software or registering to any website.
Yes, and this is a good experience, in fact, I'm sure that such videos are more pleasant and useful to watch than to read resumes created using sites https://www.gotresumebuilder.com/ or something similar
