Photo & video tips for members
- Remember that JOBX is a career network. Your videos and photos should portray your professional face to the world.
- Remember to keep the timing to around a minute or two. Anything more than that might lose your audience.
- Ensure that the content is relevant to the person watching the video. If it has been prepared to help you find your next job, make sure you are clear about what is it you can offer (your unique, skills, capabilities, work style, goals etc) and keep it updated as your career changes.
- That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! Sometimes this may be just the trick to help you stand out from the pack.
- Uniqueness is the key so use the video to demonstrate what is special about YOU.
- Be sure to cover the basics such as your name, what you are currently doing career-wise and why you are in the job market.
- Avoid revealing information or details that are personal.
- Check, check, check the video before you upload it to make sure it is clear, you are audible and clearly visible and it delivers the message you want to communicate.
Video tips for advertisers
JOBX provides advertisers with the ability to include relevant videos on their Advertiser Profile. It will allow you to communicate your employer brand to candidates in a very powerful way.
You are also able to target videos to specific recruiting campaigns. It may be worth considering developing video by candidate demographics (eg Graduates, Working Mothers, Gen X, etc).
Other suggestions are having your current employees tell candidates what it is like to work in your organisation – they can be great passive champions for your employer brand. Using your department heads to communicate their team culture to potential candidates can also be effective. You may even want to promote your credentials in areas such as the Environment or Corporate Social Responsibility.
