The latest technology in getting a job is sending potential employers video resumes. These are good ways to introduce an employer to you and the multimedia experience for the employer tells them much more than a standard resume does. It's so much less taxing to put together video resumes than it is to put a resume on paper, where writing skills need to be very good and any kind of omission could make your resume land in the recycling box.

You can even create your own video resumes using software already embedded in XP and Vista by taping your resume with your digital camera or digital recorder. The most important thing to be is relaxed and professional before the camera, something not always easy to be in real life interviews. If their first impression of you is from a video resume where you are in control of the situation, you may find some comfort in the fact that you have already passed the first hurdle with them in a more human dimension, so that the interview will go more smoothly for you.
