You only have 15 seconds to record your profile. Your profile should never be specific to a particular job as that will lessen your chances with other roles.
Take some time to think what you wish to include, having a small script helps!
It really is an introduction to who you are. You might want to include some of these categories, but it is totally up to you.
- Your name,
- If you are looking for full time or part time work
- Job sectors you have experience in or would like to work in
- Your top skills
- What you are passionate about
Employers can already see your work experience and education on your profile, you are not trying to create a video CV. The video is a chance to convey your softer skills.
The video is a chance to highlight who you are and add some personality and colour to your profile. Be yourself. Look into the camera, finish with a smile.
Make sure to watch our tips video on 'how to make a video' before making your own. It's important to get the technical stuff correct, like the background, the lighting, the sound, etc.
