I can not thank you enough for making this video.

By following this exact structure, I got a 4000$ scholarship for my internship in US at a 5-star hotel.

Guys, please dont underestimate the power of the part where you introduce a quote from what somebody said about you in your previous jobs.

Good luck!

This demo helped me to see that presenting a video resume is not as hard as I thought. It is also a really effective way to stand out from the crowd. Thanks, Madeline!

I received a video resume and cover letter once! It was a fun change of pace and heat to see some personality, but if everyone started doing it I might feel overwhelmed by them.

[danielheffernan]

I've watched a lot of videos on how to create a video resume recently. This is easily the goat, by a mile

[helljason]

I was preparing to do it in one go... spent an hour infront of my phone reading the script. Thanks this really helped.

Thank you Madeline for all of your content.
I studied each video from virtual interview and job offer negotiation tips. I recently landed a job and start in 2 wks. I recommended your channel to my fellow colleagues. Thank you again. Your awesome. WiFi High Five.

Love your videos! I'm a switching industries after 19 years and have found everything you present SO helpful.

[lyddiharvey]

What if you're a a fresh graduate who is looking for their first job in the industry they studied for? These are all great tips, but not all graduates have what you would put under "social proof" and "specific accomplishments" because we haven't been given an opportunity to acquire those things which makes looking for first jobs kind of difficult. Is there a specific formula for this type of situation or is this just something we need to work out based on these guidelines? Thank you for the very helpful and informative video.

I love how professionally this youtube video was made, but the end result looks like what it is. Made with "the video version of canva"

Clearly we can all see that you have personality, but the video just does't get it across. I mean, what does the random people in a stock video tell about YOU. That you are capable of using a software? That you are in a hurry? Lazy? It doesn't help much that I've seen videos like this a lot even though I'm not a recruiter.

This is something I would do if I was in a hurry and I found a dream job that closes in 8 hours but the application form requires a video cv. I would not send something like this if I had more than a full day to prepare.

All the tips before the video editing were golden, so thanks for that!

Your video has been the best I've come across on how to make a great video résumé. Very creative. Thank you so much for sharing! I'll definitively watch some more videos on your channel.

[jakubfolta-software-engineer]

Thanks Madeline for this video. For some time already I had an idea to prepare a video about myself and my work-some introduction or something like that. Then I started to look for some video on yt about this and I stumbled upon your video. Thanks to this I changed a direction a bit and last week I created my own Video Resume. It's available on my YT profile.
