A video resume follows many of the same principles as regular sample resumes - it has to make a good first impression in the shortest time possible and it has to stand out with regard to style as well as content. The first ten seconds of the video resume corresponds to the look and layout of your resume sample - if you fail to grab the viewer or reader‘s attention at that first instant, the rest of the resume doesn‘t get watched, or read as in the written resume scenario.
I‘ve been asked a number of times for a resume overnight or for ”discounts” on quoted services because they have only budgeted X amount of dollars. First of all, the better your resume, the more opportunities you will receive...and there is no way a writer can ”throw something together” without taking the time to learn a great deal about you! If a service promises overnight work, you have to ask yourself why? If they are that readily available, then they aren‘t a very busy practice - probably for a reason. Most quality services offer a several day turnaround time and the writer typically spends several hours on each project. A quality, working resume can‘t be rushed if it‘s done right (and beware of any service who can ”fit you in” in a day. Good writers are busy for a reason).
As the economic downturn continues, an increasing number of attorneys and law students are competing for fewer positions - and everyone is feeling the squeeze. Attorneys and law students alike are looking for ways to make their legal resumes and cover letters stand out, but few know how to create a truly outstanding attorney resume. How about using a professional resume writer? Creating a legal resume that works is not easy, which is why you should partner with a professional resume writer that specializes in your field. Legal resume writing services have proven success in writing attorney resumes that energize and shorten the job search cycle, and reflect all that you have to offer a potential employer.
First of all, ask yourself what it is that you expect from an executive resume writing service. If you think that a new resume will automatically get you in the door, you‘re wrong. A well-written, visually impressive resume that highlights your achievements will certainly improve your success rate, but there are no guarantees in ANY job search unless you maximize the use of your resume. You‘ll also want to determine what you are willing to pay and why -- are you looking for quick and cheap or are you willing to invest in your career? Those are two important questions that need to be carefully weighed.
If the beginning grabs the viewer they will likely watch all of the 90 to 120 seconds of the video resume - and this is all the time you have to extol all your virtues, abilities, qualifications, special abilities, technical and other skills and experiences. The plus point of this kind of resume template is that you can intersperse your video with other images - charts, graphs, even personal recommendations and certificates. You can even add visual samples of previously done work - this can be particularly useful for when applying for a job with visual media, film, design, graphics or video production. It can make the resume sample far more interesting and greatly increase its impact on the prospective employee.
One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is, ”How do I build a perfect resume, one that is guaranteed to get me a job?” Here is my answer to this dilemma. Every employer out there has a slightly different idea of how they want to see a resume laid out and what kind of information should be on it. Over the years I have been continuously interviewing employers, recruiters and resume writers so I can keep up to date with the times and see what employers expect in a resume from a potential candidate for the positions they are offering and how resume writers think a potential candidate‘s resume should be written. The bottom line is, there is no one right answer. There are many different ways to write a resume that are all just as good as the next. There may not be a perfect resume but you can get close, very close.
