In this tight job market, anything that can help job seekers to have an edge and land that interview, is a plus. In that context, video resumes are emerging as an interesting avenue worth exploring and several companies have positioned themselves as the leaders in that area.
These companies require job seekers to register with them and then use their computers' web cams to record their videos. Once recorded, the multimedia resumes will be uploaded to the sites with links forwarded to potential employers.
The Wall Street Journal tested four different video resumes sites and found that two of them require that users type in manually all their information that would go on a traditional resume, while some of them are more hands on than others.
The four sites tested were: Resumebook.tv, Optimalresume.com, InterviewStudio.com and Britetab.com. Among the three, only Resume.tv was a free service while the three others charge fees of $8 or $50.
