NPR: Hipster job seekers post video resumes online

Posted at 11:21 AM on December 20, 2006 by Jon Gordon

On Morning Edition today, from reporter Frank Langfitt:
Some job candidates hoping to stand out from the competition are posting video resumes online to boost their chances of being spotted -- and hired. Several companies are even trying to develop businesses around this budding phenomenon. But federal employment officials say companies should handle video resumes with care.

Video resumes have been around for years. But with the growth of broadband connections and the proliferation of easy-to-use video-making applications, more people are posting video resumes on the Internet.

NPR points to several of its favorite online video resumes, inlcuding this one posted to YouTube.
