And, a video resume shouldn't only include the video. It should be added to the traditional application documents such as transcripts and cover letter. Here is how we think it could work. It's our new software to create a video resume and comes with an own Internet address which hosts the whole application. http://www.gocvone.com. Just click on "View a CVOne sample resume".

You are kidding, right? What you are describing is not a "video resume", which is what I am was commenting on. That may not be what the "industry is saying" (the staffing industry, the video resume ndustry? what industry are you referring to?) but that is what we are talking about. Microsoft pays me to have an opinion. Just because I don't share the same exact opinion as you, Mike, does not mean that I am closed minded.

This is what video does for the job seeker, and the smart recruiter. Wow, i'm suprised that MS employes someone with such a closed mind...

Sheesh, I guess I should check the internets before I bother coming in to work in the morning. OK, just for the record: I have not left Microsoft (in fact, I am having a great time) My blog has not been taken down (it's the place where you got that quote from) My last name is Hamilton My opinion on video resumes remains unchanged.
