IN THE SPIRIT OF VIDEO RESUMES.

With a hundred thousand trillion resumes being sent to every job post it’s tough to stand out, especially if your kid isn’t as art saavy as fourteen year old Ben Gullet.  That being said, should we include a video resume with our paper/online resume? Is it effective? John Henion’s (from Unemploymentality) brother from another mother Michael Spafferty, seems to think it’s a fantastic idea.  Man, he’s brilliant.  John had the chance to sit with Michael and asked him about his video resume…

“Making a video resume is simple. Just boil-down your paper resume into a few points that articulate your experience, your interests and what type of social creature you are. After that, just script it out and talk into the camera. Don’t forget to get lots of sexy, super model shots too. HR reps love that shit.

I do realize that some people have a hard time making a video resume because they are too humble to step in front of a camera and talk pretty about themselves. These people better suck it up and learn to be a baller or I’ll be getting their job too. Try to be humble, but don’t forget that the objective is to sell yourself. So don’t lie, don’t be sure to mention how awesome you are. ‘Check it or you wreck it’ …Oh. And it doesn’t hurt to take your pants off during your video resume at some point. HR reps love a sense of humor and nothing says funny like no pants. No what I’m saying John?”

I can’t believe this guy isn’t hired yet.  It must really be tough out there.
