I won’t say that I’m famous, but my mug made it onto national television this morning for about five seconds (check out the video in the upper-right corner). Now, if I can just find another ten seconds somewhere to round out my requisite fifteen…

Right around time 00:48 in this video of a segment that aired on Good Morning America you’ll see a clip from the video resume that has brought me so much attention from the newspapers. It is interesting how the stories have shifted from reporting on how great and cutting edge video resumes are to how they really don’t work all that well at landing a job. It’s like they’re their own little dot com bubble!

Seriously though, a video resume is merely an accessory to help present an image of the candidate. If anyone lands a job simply because they had a good video resume, I would be disappointed in the hiring company. The more relevant question to ask is, “did you get an interview as a result of your video resume?”
