Hi Margaret, One of the things you talked about in another forum post was given the fact that employers are searching for and reviewing the online presence of candidates, content such as a professional LinkedIn profile or a list of accolades helps. I agree but I think many career advisors frame the issue of students not having an optimized, professional online presence as not having a "LinkedIn" profile or not having a professional "Facebook profile," etc. This brings me to this point - video resumes are simply another form of marketing collateral that can live online to optimize one's professional online presence. Thus, I would argue the usefulness of a video resume is not dependent upon one's industry but most accurately, it is a question of the extent to which one wants to go to optimize and maximize one's opportunity to create a professional online presence through online content. Whereas a video resume may not be required, it can aid in managing one's online presence. I personally feel it is important for students to understand this difference as it is part of the very concept of "reverse job searching" or inbound marketing. Robert Starks Jr.
