Self Promotion and Personal Marketing Tools for the Serious Job Seeker

So, we've all read the paper or saw the news...it's all around us...the economic climate is not in its best state around the globe. With more and more layoffs by the day, how do you make yourself stand out when there are so many other candidates competing for the same job? The answer is to use a non-traditional self-promotion and personal marketing tool like Distinct Portfolios video resumes.

Distinct Portfolios offers job seekers the ability to effectively market themselves and impress potential employers with electronic profiles that can include:

• Resumes
• Curriculum vitae/CV
• Cover letters
• Pictures/images
• Video clips
• Interviews
• Work samples
• and more!

A traditional resume, no matter how strong, does not stand out and will not properly communicate your value to potential employers in today’s market. Interactive and online self-promotion tools like video resumes are invaluable resources used by savvy job seekers to gain job interviews and ultimately job offer.

With recruiters and employers seeing hundreds of applications, resumes, CVs and cover letters from individuals competing for the same jobs every day, the successful job seeker is the one who understands that selling yourself begins well before the personal interview.

Flash video resumes enable potential employers the opportunity not only to assess your skills but to gain valuable insight into your personality and professional demeanour.

Can Distinct Portfolios' video resume products really help me convey my value and potential over my formatted, type-written CV?

Your curriculum vitae will contain valuable insight into your education and background, but why stop there? Video resumes enable potential employers to view not only your CV or resume but also video interview clips, work samples and images.

Will Submitting a video resume take the place of an interview?

Before getting an interview you first need to make the short list. A video resume will help you stand out and get noticed. After that, your skills will speak for themselves.

Are video resumes limited to specific industries?

Absolutely Not! Video resumes are a much in-demand tool used by serious job seekers from every industry:

• Post-Secondary Students
• Doctors
• Lawyers
• Accountants
• Engineers
• Heath Care Professionals
• IT Professionals
• Advertising Executives
• And more…
  

The reality is that there is little that can be done about the competition in today’s job market. The other candidates aren’t going to go away and distinguishing yourself from the masses will take more than a paper resume and cover letter. If you want to grab the attention of potential employers, you need to be unique, memorable and distinct! You need Distinct Portfolios.
