How can you make your video resume different from others:
Always keep in your mind there are lots of applicants are applying for the same job so they are also posting their video resume, so make your video resume in a little different style. But make sure that that should be in a professional way. And also, you need to cover 3 basic things.

• Education
• Experience
• Interest

There are some basic technical things that also you need to check.

**1. Set your camera sideways, at eye level**
For a video resume, it’s important that you place the laptop at your eye-level and sit facing the light.

**2. Set up a plain light background:**
When you are making your video resume find a clean background and first you prefer a white background if you won’t get white background then don’t worry, you can choose any clean background.

**3. Avoid background noise:**
Make sure that your voice should be clear to the employer. You can use wireless microphones for your better voice quality.

**4. Your appearance should be professional:**
You are pitching about you to the employer. You need to create the best impression. Wear a professional formal attire.

**5. Video should be precise and succinct:**
• Write a script
Read your script once, before you have decided to go for the final shot of the video. This will avoid multiple video takes.
• Video should be relevant:
Just like a paper resume, your video resume should be specific to the role you are applying for. A generic video is unlikely to impress potential employers, but personalisation will show them how much the role means to you and will make for a more memorable application!
• Impress Employers with your Video Resume :
In day to day life, all are busy in their work, so if you make a long video then chance is there you will lose your impression in front of your employer but, don’t make a very short video. Your video should be within 1-2 minute.
• Don't try to cram your script:
If you will try to cram your script then definitely in between the video you will forget the lines then you have to pause your video. If you cut you in between then in your original video one cut mark will come due to which definitely you will lose your impression.

**6. How to start:**
In most of the videos, start your videos with Hi/Hello or "good morning". Then give a brief information about yourself then move to your qualification and experience.
• Pose with a smile on your face
Smile will create a positive connect and will help you to reflect your personality.
• Give break:
First greetings then give one-second break then start talking about yourself like that you give 1-2 second break in each section of your resume. It will leave a good impression.


**7. Focus on your accent:**
Your accent needs to be neutral and pronunciation should be clear. This carries 75% weightage in your video resume.


**8. Edit your video:**
Edit your video for perfection. There are lots of free editing apps available on the internet you can use those. Post your best video resume and then we will connect you to the right employer by upgrading your skills and resume.
