I am exploring an idea of a job portal where video resume would be a key aspect. Before I plunge into the development side of it, I want to know in general on how comfortable people are with a video resume.<p>I have two specific questions.<p>1: As a potential job seeker, are you comfortable creating a video resume and will you create one?
2: As a potential recruiter, will you prefer receiving a video resume along with a text resume?
Video resume is ok and has only potential on entertainment fields like hollywood or modeling, glamour job sector.<p>It's not great idea on other field especially on initial scrutiny.<p>With text resume,<p>1). HR first looks format and how presentable text resume is on paper.<p>2). Then they search/look for key points.<p>3). Later, they either reject it or keep it for next round.<p>All above 3 steps can take 10 second to 1 or 2 minute to quickly evaluate candidate for next round.<p>You can not express yourself in 10 second or 1 minute completely as you can do on text.<p>Reading is faster than listening or watching.<p>- Face is not resume on all sectors.
