Also I am so nervous that I can’t think straight when taking my test or I will use the computer shortcuts to accomplish a task, but the computer will say “wrong response” when it is the right response when used as a short cut in word or excel. So my test scores are low in all testing because they all use the same computer program. So I just post my resume on the Internet and get more interviews that I ever did with an agency.

I was also told my a friend who said there is a quote that the agencies have to accomplish and I have seen that with snide, high and mighty attitude of the agents.

Not all agencies are there to help the person get a job but are there to make money. The client wants someone for less money and the agencies help them to achieve that!!!

Great article though!

The video’s reviewed are selected from a whittled down select group of candidates. Hard qualifications are still left nicely summed on a resume. The video is reserved for softskills hardly tangible in ink.

I’m working on my first Video Cover letter, I’m doing it myself and, its currently filled with umms and ahhs, and i’m camera shy but, its a ROUGH DRAFT! retake retake retake. Reason not to use a proffesional service. Every video can be unique to the position and polished til perfect.

The lighting excentuates my facial features, i’m in front of a neutral backround. I remove any humming from the microphone in edditing and normalize the sound level.

Descrimination liability is no differnt than what is liable at interview.

Those 15 second scans are exactly why HR is so ineffective at staffing. Your judging people on their writing skills not the skills applicable to the job.

Those 15 second scans punish independant learning.
If someone can’t learn on their own. if they need to be taught or shown everything first. You put them in HR finding people who can. What a joke.
