Video Cv's

[boomshanka2525]

Hello All,


I am SAP SD consultant currently working in Serbia.I have been contacted by a certain company.

They have invited me to record a "video CV" not quite sure how it all works....
The email informed me that these "VCV's" as they call them are going to be all the rage......

Im not really overly keen to record my self infront of a webcam...

Would like to know if anyone else has....

Is this a intersting tool or a pointless gimmick??????

Cheers

Carlos

I am thinking "pointless gimmick".

seconded... pointless gimmick...

did they explain how it worked when the agency runs your word doc through a keyword searcher? how would that work with a video?

That's a matter of opinion.
If you're the Davie Jones that was in The Monkees, I thought you were quite dishy. But if you're the Davie Jones that was in the Pirates of the Carribean film, you may be right.
