Disadvantages of video resume:
It is time-consuming and laborious, and it is inconvenient to browse.
Generally speaking, it takes an HR manager about 1~2 minutes to browse an ordinary paper resume, while it takes at least 3~5 minutes to play a video resume, and more than ten or twenty minutes. In addition, many companies have special resume databases and tools such as browsing and querying, which can quickly classify and screen resumes, but video resumes can't achieve these functions like text resumes. One HR said: The personnel department is very busy. After a job advertisement is sent, thousands of resumes are often received, and staff often don't have time to watch video resumes.
Much the same, the theme is not prominent. All the candidates introduce themselves in school or an office, the content is mostly general, the scene changes little, and the feeling is monotonous.
Not all positions are suitable for video resumes. Apply for some positions that need to show personal talents, such as creative work, TV program host, public relations, etc. Video resume can be used to show personal charm. There is no need to apply for general management and technical positions. At the same time, not all job seekers are suitable for making video resumes. For those job seekers with ordinary looks and poor expression skills, video resumes highlight their personal weaknesses, which is not conducive to job hunting.
