It’s a great idea to post your video resume on all of your social media platforms, but it is not a great idea to post your video resume on hundreds of company’s pages at once.
If you are going to post your video resume on a company’s social media page, make sure you have done the research on what they do and know that you truly want to work for this company. Is this company hiring? Are they looking for someone with your particular skills and interests? If not, then posting your video resume on their wall will just look like spam. You want to make sure you are making the most of your video resume and not abusing its utility. When you post your video resume on a company’s page, add a little blurb about how interested you are in the work they do and why their company peeked your interest. It would be wise to put in your video why you are passionate about what you do and why you chose the field you are in. Companies don’t just want to hear lip service. They want something and someone that is creative and unique. Show companies why you are the best fit for their position and start utilizing your video resume through social media today.
