Creating a Video CV - Coming Soon!

Video CVs improve your job hunting chances by providing potential employers with a much more accurate personal and professional profile of you, the jobseeker.

Employers are placing more and more emphasis on a candidate’s ‘soft skills’ than ever before – but this is a two way relationship with jobseekers also beginning to place more emphasis on finding a company that complements their aspirations.

What are ‘soft skills’?

Soft skills are things like your personality, your attitude, your approach. They are the other aspects of you, in addition to your technical skills, that make up you as a person and an employee.

A traditional written CV enables a potential employer to gain an understanding of how suited you are, from a skills perspective, for a particular role – but it does not tell them anything about you from a personality perspective.

Finding the right ‘organisational fit’

Most potential employers are focusing on finding staff that will complement their existing organisational culture – in simple terms, they want employees to ‘fit in’ and ‘get on’ with the other members of team.

It makes perfect sense when you think about it – if you are a contractor, a company needs to know that you can hit the ground running and make an immediate impact on the projects you are working on. From a permanent perspective, they want to ensure that you will feel comfortable within your surroundings and want to stay with the company for the long-term.

Arguably, it is the accuracy of the ‘soft skill’ match that largely influences whether an employee builds a career with a company or not.
