The Significance Of Video Resume For Multimedia Programmer Job

Evaluate the production process of a video resume for a Multimedia Programmer job.

Benefits of Video Resumes over Traditional Resumes

In the current era of the competitive environment, it so happens that, the presence of creating facilities and amenities that are prevalent within the areas of market processes and procedures. Hence, the presence of a video resume becomes absolute and inevitable. With the implementation of a video resume, it so happens that the traditional resume of an employee gains more significance and becomes intense. The aim of this study is to evaluate the production process of a video resume for a Multimedia Programmer job. The study will also formulate a resume for the Multimedia programmer to understand the supposed roles and responsibilities that are to be played by them.  

A video resume helps an individual in seeking job roles and responsibilities, which helps them to showcase their abilities that are beyond their capabilities (Muralidhar, 2017). Furthermore, a video resume also helps in allowing other specifications towards the presentation of the skill sets and competencies that are being perceived by them (Owens, 2017). In addition to this, the video resume further explains the experience of that individual in their specific work field. The initiation of a video resume is often considered more effective in comparison to the traditional resume that is being made by job seeking candidates (Zanghi, Zanghi, Zanghi and Zanghi, 2007).

However, it is important to understand certain factors, which acts as an optimization of the entire processes that need to be taken into account. It is to be noted that, while considering the creation of a video resume, it is important to be absolutely professional in approach. The maintenance of a professional demeanor and the appearance of the individual in the video needs to be acutely formal. Avoiding distracting noises from the background of the video is another important perspective that needs to be kept in mind (Waung, Hymes, & Beatty, 2014)

Nevertheless, before preparing the video resume, I prepared a proper script for the sole purpose of showing an effective level of speech and language. The script needs to have the major skills and accomplishments that are being perceived by me. The video must also contain the significant perspectives, which will make the individual worthy for a job role and the managers also need to find it attractive. However, it is also important for the candidate to be able to avoid replacing the traditional resume with that of video resume (Nguyen and Gatica-Perez, 2016).

Therefore, there are certain methods associated with the production process of the video resume, which tends to act as a manifestation of the necessary methods and processes that need to be assessed. In the current era of competitive market scenario, I felt that a video resume would help me towards the carrying out of the application process for the designated job role. It is to be noted that, there are certain definite methods and processes that are associated with the preparation of a video resume (Foust and Gross, 2017).

The first and foremost process that I undertook is to draft a proper script. It refers to the fact that, I need to enunciate the key points that are likely to be discussed on paper. It is also important for me to provide concrete instances of the management experiences that I perceive. The next process that I used for creating the video resume is to create an audience in my mind (Waung, McAuslan, DiMambro, and Mi?go?, 2017). It refers to the fact that, since the video resume is made for my employment, it is important to understand the audience as managers and will be just like any other traditional resume. The use of quality equipment including the use of a mike or a camera helped me in lighting the scene properly where the background of the video is appropriate.

Factors Causing Optimization in a Video Resume

Furthermore, the video resume that I made consisted of proper links that grab the attention of the managers in every possible manner. Instead of reciting the resume, I managed to share past experiences derived out of previous job roles and responsibilities. Hence, from this point of view, it can be said that, the procedures and methods that are associated with the initiation of video resume helps me in understanding the definite ways with the help of which the candidates need to implement the necessary points that need to be kept in mind (Kelley and Buchanan, 2017).

After this assessment, I can emphasize on the fact that, the prevalence of video resume tends to play a pivotal role towards carrying out significant methods and processes that need to be associated (Nikolaou and Oostrom, 2015). The initiation of a proper video resume needs to be effectively improved and developed in such a manner that it becomes distinguishing enough to grab the attention of the managers towards the resume. The first section of my resume shows me a clear and concise picture of the value that will be brought to an employer. The headline and the summary section of my video resume can be significantly used to capture the emphasizing elements of success that are being achieved by the individual. In addition to this, the selection of specific disciplines and skills that are being perceived by the individual also needs proper assessment. It is to be noted that, the customization of each application needs to focus on the targeted areas on businesses as well as in the service sector. As I can contemplate the interests and experiences, I need to master the necessary skills and achievements that need to be showcased to become a potential candidate for the role of the multimedia programmer (Apers and Derou, 2017). The changes that are further required for the implementation of a proper video resume help in associating the effectiveness of the entire process effectively. It tends to act as a manifestation of the necessary processes and procedures that need to be taken into account. With the reflection of past accomplishment and post job experiences, an individual can effectively portray the skill sets that have been achieved by them and accentuate the supposed outcomes that have been delivered with precise instances of workplace incidents (Chen et al. 2017). The last requirement of the video resume is the length. I made sure that my video resume is short and crisp, which will impose a deep impact on the managers to whom I will present it.  For the understanding of the improvement of resume and the processes associated with it, it is important to be able to carry out the supposed notions of work experience and workforce practices (Kelley and Buchanan, 2017).
