It’s inevitable that job seekers and graduating students will use more sophisticated methods in their job search. Case in point: the video resume.
I see more and more undergraduates who edit their own videos - it’s as easy and natural for them do so as writing a paper.
I assume that some people got the idea of a video resume from Elle Woods in the movie Legally Blonde. In 2001, this was good for a laugh. In 2010, thanks to YouTube, blogging and Flash, the video resume may become an essential job search tool.
A quick Google search on “video resume” produced over 123,000 results.
Brian Krueger’s brief piece on video resume etiquette has some basic, common sense tips that are helpful.
A 26 March 2008 article article from Education Portal called Job Resumes 2.0: Creating a Video Resume has many more tips.
Finally, About.com has its own page on video resume tips, including production.

Video Resume? Great! I look better “in person” than I do on paper! *smile*

I'm trying to make my Lit Review header Apa 6th Ed. compliant…. Any ideas?? Microsoft Word is not cooperating!
1. “Running Head:” (on the first page)
2. No “Running Head:” (on consecutive pages)
Lit Review - first draft is due tomorrow…. What is my dissertation “title” you ask?? *smile*
