"Imagine having a jobseeker profile where you can express your true self professionally and effectively. Your outstanding soft skills and vibrant personalities will no longer have to be dormant within a piece of paper. Prevview enables you to give a voice and personality to your paper resumes, through cutting edge video streaming technology. You no longer need to attach various documents to your potential employer. Speak to them directly through your visumés (video resumes) and let them know why you should be hired. Back your visumés up with downloadable important and relevant documents such as cover letter, resume, portfolio, and reference letters."
"It’s no surprise that first impressions count. The first impression you make can either open a door or keep it shut. 72% of employers feel that candidates with promising paper resumes fail to cut it in person. (Survey commissioned by recruitment expert Robert Half International Inc.) So, just how can job seekers step up their game, break through the competition and create lasting first impressions that will land them the job they desire? Prevview.com is THE solution. Launched on 9th March 2011, Prevview.com is the first portal in Asia to craftily utilize Video Resumes – Visumés - in an interactive manner that breaks the barrier between employers and jobseekers. With a louder than paper approach; Prevview exemplifies the next big thing in the HR industry. The portal creates a professional platform that allows job seekers to differentiate themselves not merely on paper, but in a more insightful and expressive manner on video, allowing them to get talent spotted by their dream employers across various dimensions – locally and abroad. Employers can thus finally save time, money and hassle by pre-screening potential candidates, before investing in a face-to-face interview."

"All profiles are viewable only by registered Employers. What’s more, our technology ensures that Employers will not be able to save your video on their computers. Secondly, you have the option of keeping your profile entirely private [employers cannot search for you, but you can browse through employer profiles and still apply for jobs!]. Thirdly, the “Block” feature lets you insert keywords that will block views from everyone associated with them. For e.g. Prevview is your employer and you do not wish for them to see that you have a profile on the portal. Simply enter Prevview as a keyword and any Employer associated with Prevview will not be able to view your profile!"Find out more, right here.
I know some of you are camera shy, just like me.. I have to admit it took me about a week or two to come up with a video sample and help to give you an idea of how a visume should be like. This just a sample 'visume' for your viewing pleasure. Your 'visume' MUST be within 90 seconds! Just to let you know of two things that you might notice in the video.. I had a haircut. Yes, I have a fringe now because daddy keeps nagging at my wide and spacious forehead! *sulk* The blue teddy bear is my lucky charm and it is turning 9 this July 17th! It was a gift from my fiance on our first year anniversary.
Let me share with you a few tip and tricks, I personally did for this visume. I did this video at night so I switched on all the lights to create a bright environment. I dressed the parts of myself that I am showing only, (that's the best part of doing visume!) so I made sure that my hair is not messy and I added a pair of spectacles to create character in my look and a threw on a blazer so that I instantly look presentable! I only had an eyeliner on because I want to show the real person that I am.. (personal preference) Other than that, I actually typed out a script on my 'Stickies', attached it on my laptop so that I don't fumble when I speak. That being said, confidence is key and with all that I'm pretty sure you will have an 80% chance to win prizes and get that dream job! Check out more exemplary videos here.
Do not forget to show off your skills (I did not do that!) and achievements that you have done so far and your experiences that you have in job that you're applying. You can make your video more interesting by adding sound effects/music, subtitles, video clips, pictures, props and talent, like my didgusting singing and awkward dance moves. *giggles*
MAKE YOUR VIDEO AS CREATIVE AND THINK OUT OF THE BOX! All that matters is that the video must iterate the message – Why you would be a great employee!
Apart from all the excitement, AVOID mentioning your expected pay, obscenity and DO NOT say anything that you wouldn't say at an interview!
