Thanks for the comment. I think that video resumes can be a bit of a double edged sword. On one hand they do a great job of showcasing a candidate's personality, communication skills, and ability to verbalize their technical knowledge. On the other hand, it can open the door for various forms of discrimination. It is true that the same could happen in a personal interview, though, so this may not be the most important issue.
Overall I think there is potential for these to be successful so long as the person is not boring and the hiring authority has the time to watch a video rather than peruse a resume.
Seeing that you've been in the consultiing business over two years, I'd like to chat with you . After twenty years in human resources and experiencing my first office closure, I decided to start my own consulting company in 2008. February 2009 will end my first year.
If you don't mind sharing information, I'd welcome a call or an on-line conversation with you. I'll officially take start vacation Wednesday and will return to my office January 5th. 240-291-5878. My website is www.tsleary.com
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
