What is a Video Resume?
A video resume is a short video created by a candidate for employment that describes the individual’s skills and qualifications and is typically used to supplement a traditional resume.
Tips to Help You Prepare a Professional Video Resume:
- Dress professionally in business attire, just as if you were going to an in-person interview.
- Look at the camera not at the desk or table below you.
- Don’t speak too fast.
- Make sure there isn’t any background noise and that the wall behind you isn’t too busy.
- Practice what you’re going to say ahead of time.
- Focus on your professional endeavors, not your personal ones.
- Discuss why you would be a good freelance Law Clerk and what you can do for the lawyer that hires you.
- Thank the lawyer for considering you for their legal project.
Remember – You must sign up for a YouTube account to upload your video & provide a link to your YouTube Video in your Law Clerk Connection Selling Profile.
