Job Seekers

Set yourself apart from the competition by creating a short video resume and upload on www.employmentjamaica.com for prospective employers to review. The video should not be more than two minutes long and should be used as a supplement to your paper resume.

The video is a short sales pitch about why an employer should hire you. Keep the sales pitch professional, describing your skills and qualifications. If done right it can be a useful tool in assisting you to market yourself to prospective employers.

How to Prepare a Professional Video Resume:

• Dress professionally, as if you are going on an interview.
• Rehearse what you are going to say in advance.
• Get friends and family to view your video before uploading.
• Let the prospective employer know what you can do for the company and why he/she should hire you.
• Be sure to start off by mentioning your name.
• Keep your video resume short – no more than three minutes.
• Make sure your environment is not cluttered and there is no background noise.
• Thank the viewer for considering you for employment.
