Video curriculum. 

Video curriculums, or videoCVs are very current right now and they give you a bit of an advantage over boring paper Cvs. Here you will find some advice and help to create your videoCV. 
First, let's look at some tips for making a successful video:

	1. Keep Production Values Extremely High: Because TV and movies are so significant in our culture, people are used to the highest production values possible. Jittery footage, bad lighting, and poor editing will sabotage your video from standing out, even if the content is excellent. But the biggest struggle for most people is sound. For example, in a well-lit scene, even an iPhone’s video quality is good enough. But it's the sound that will make you look like an amateur. You need to use a professional microphone, not the microphones that are built into a phone or camcorder. See if you can borrow one from your church, a DJ, or your weird uncle who always has that kind of thing. It makes a huge difference.
	2. Keep it Short: The video resume will never be a replacement for a paper resume, but it has the capabilities to show some intangibles your paper resume can’t—like confidence, professionalism, and presentation skills. I don’t think any hiring managers are going to watch a five minute overview of your career. So your job is to highlight only your very best accomplishments related to the job while showcasing these qualities. I’d shoot for 60 seconds and definitely avoid going over 90. (In my case, I went a little long because the first part was essentially a commercial, but my talking to a camera was only about 45 seconds.)
	3. Ask for Help: Believe it or not, there are some nice people in the world who want to help you. I asked a friend to help me film since I was in the video. If a certain location will help your video, like a grocery store or an office building, talk to the manager. You’ll be surprised how often they want to help. And the worst they can say is, “No.”


Of course, we must always follow certain steps to achieve a successful videoCV: 

1. Plan Before You Film
Think about how you'd like to respond to the given prompt, and consider what video format works best for you. Are you comfortable talking to the camera on your computer or phone, or would it be easier to have a friend “interview” you? Or, how about a slideshow with a voiceover, using Story Wheel? All of these things are options, so be creative and choose something that feels natural to you.
2. Don’t Recite Your Resume
Instead of listing past roles and responsibilities, take the opportunity to share an experience or quality about yourself that has particular relevance to the position but that might not shine through on your resume. For example, one of our applicants listed “bike trip leader” in the “Special Skills” section at the bottom of her resume. Her video focused on this part of her background and, through photos and stories, showed us that she’s an energetic leader who’s able to build community over a shared experience. It was exactly what we were looking for—and she works here now.
3. Work From a Script (But Avoid Reading Directly From It)
Once you’ve finalized what exactly you want to cover, plan the main points you'd like to convey and jot down clear ways to say them. Writing your ideas ahead of time encourages intention and clarity—and helps eliminate run-on sentences and excessive “ums” and “likes.”
4. Make Sure Your Video is Clear and Audible
We want to see you and hear what you have to say! Reduce background noise, choose a well-lit setting, and avoid having the camera pointing up your nose. These things sound obvious, but believe me, they go a long way.
5. Shoot Several Takes if Necessary
The beauty of an application video is that you don't have to settle on a bad take. If the neighbor's dog is barking incessantly in the background or you get off track, do it again. In my case, I couldn't figure out how to sign off in a way that seemed natural. Was I supposed to say “bye?” Just stop talking? After a few takes, I found a smile and wave that didn't make me look insane.
6. Watch Your Own Video
Have you ever read through an email you've just written to discover spelling errors, run-on sentences, or a few overused adjectives? I know I have. You should watch your video for the same reason: catching those silly mistakes. Consider having a friend check it out too—a fresh set of eyes can help notice mistakes or idiosyncrasies that you may have overlooked.
7. Edit What You Make
Programs like iMovie, Final Cut Pro, and Movie Maker are intuitive and easy to use, and there are plenty of free video editing programs to try. You don't have to be a seasoned editor to make small changes that go a long way. If you can't figure something out, there are a myriad of YouTube tutorials to show you how.

At the end of your process, you want to end up with is something that is worth looking at. People watching your CV are not looking for the most well-written monologue or the one who could use the video editors better. People look for personality, creativity, intelligente and effort. The video gives you an extra oportunity to show why you'd be perfect for the job. So have fun and take advantage of that!!
