4. Record your video

CV One allows you to divide your video into segments and record them separately. This will also allow the viewer to easily jump back and forth between the different parts such as “Introduction”, “Academic Background”, or “Practical Experience”. Just click on “Create script” and set up as many videos as you want. The allowed maximum of each video section is 5 minutes. The recording stops after the maximum has been reached. Please keep in mind that recruiters might prefer a short and concise presentation. Try to manage between 1 and 3 minutes.

 

If you don’t like your recordings, just select the relevant video section and click on “Record”. This will overwrite the old video section. Record as many times as you like.

 

Dress the same as you would for a job interview. This depends to some extend on the industry you are dealing with. Just keep in mind that a professional appearance will tell the audience that you are serious about the message you are delivering. In general, you can't go wrong with a business suit or formal dress in a neutral color.

 

Also, keep in mind that the background will be seen by the recruiter. So, try to set up a professional background such as a blank wall or a nice room. You might want to try out different lighting schemes and test what looks the best.
