Wow! Creating video job descriptions is a great idea. Thanks for sharing some valuable tips.
I think video job descriptions are an excellent idea. It adds an interesting take to recruiting candidates and a fresh, new and entertaining way for job seekers to find out about an opportunity.
You are a very talented VOC, Jim. You’re also talented at putting together an interesting program. Did you edit too? If so, another feather.
My only negative comment is the piece was about 5 minutes too long. The information conveyed could have easily been presented in <5 minutes. It might not have been as fun or allowed as many flourishes, but I was ready for it to end at exactly 4:46. I continued watching only to see the end, but I checked the time on it again at 7:24 and 8:45.
If you can capture the spirit and convey the information in under 5 minutes, you'll be a superstar.
Steve,
Oh wow! Thank you for all of the kind words. I TRULY appreciate your comments and will take them under consideration. Keeping my videos under 5 minutes is always a goal, but I sometimes struggle with my artsy side and I guess you can see who won this round. Check out my latest video “How to Post to Multiple Linkedin Groups from One Page.” I suspect it will be more to your liking.
Thanks again for the comment!
Jim
