LinkedIn is rapidly becoming necessary for professionals and job seekers. Recruiters and hiring managers love LinkedIn because of all the good, accurate information provided on a potential candidate. In fact, some recruiters say they are more likely to trust information in a LinkedIn profile than a standard resume, since your LinkedIn profile is more public and therefore you’re less likely to embellish.
With the average viewer being 7 to 10 times more likely to view a video than to read a profile, it’s very beneficial for you to post your video resume or video introduction on your LinkedIn public profile. You could, of course, simply add a web site link to your profile that points to your video resume on YouTube. But a better solution is to post the video directly on your profile.
In order to do this, you will need to create a presentation that contains one slide with the video embedded. To do this, follow these steps:
-
Upload your video resume or video intruductionto YouTube
Add the application “Google Presentations” to your LinkedIn profile (Choose “Edit My Profile” then click “Add Applications”) Create a presentation Select “Insert” | “Video” from the main menu inside the Google Presentation editor Find your video resume on YouTube (a dialog box allows you to search) “Save & Close” (in the upper right corner) Now go back to LinkedIn and Post the presentation to your profile (click the “Post to Profile” link for the presentation) |
