Videos in Job Applications

Videos in job applications are becoming more and more popular and more and more common. I've seen it in 2 ways: Built in as part of your application (integrated into the ATS) Asked to go to another platform and copy/paste the video link Pros: More personal Can assess potential culture fit better Understand someone's personality before an interview Get specific questions answered Unique ... for now Saves time Reduces costs Can record if needed Consistent process for everyone Cons: Could be discriminatory to conscious or unconscious bias Not appropriate for all jobs People can re-record Takes time for candidates A good portion of candidates won't do it Tips: Be professional Dress as you would for an in person interview Make sure your background is clean and presentable Re-record if you need to and are able to Let your personality shine Be sure to directly answer the questions asked Answer the question thoroughly without rambling or going on tangents Make an outline before you hit record Watch/edit if possible To support the show: Paypal: paypal.me/stephdennis13 Anchor: https://anchor.fm/careertalk For show notes go to: http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/ To work together: listentocareertalk.com For the Google Survey: https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1 To connect: Instagram: @stephdennis13 @careertalkpodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/stephdennis13 We are written, produced, hosted and edited by Stephanie Dennis You’re awesome!!
