Job hunting and Resume writing is an art. There are so many articles online for "Resume Writing".
But one girl from Tempa Florida is changing the way you send your resume to the employer.
Fallon Rechnitz set her video-capable digital camera on a stack of books. She then hit the record button and spoke for about 30 seconds, instantly producing a video resume she plans to send to potential employers.
Rechnitz is at the forefront in the hunt for employment. Video-resume services are only starting to emerge on the Internet, and the 22-year-old Arizona State senior believes the visuals can give her a leg up after graduating this month.
"I feel like my personality is what really seals the deal and if they can see my personality I'd get a better chance of getting the job," said Rechnitz, who is applying for news positions with television stations in Arizona.

The job search has come a long way since the days of printing resumes on high-quality, linen paper and stuffing them in matching envelopes. Employers typically accept electronic versions of traditional resumes these days — many now require them — while incorporating their own research of applicants' social-networking personal profiles.
So may be this is a future for resumes and employers. You can be yourself, get dress up and express yourself in your Video Resume and send it to your employer.
But some advocates believe video resumes may make sense in certain fields like broadcasting, marketing and theater — the ones where job seekers are already asked to send in portfolios of past work. Unlike a portfolio, though, a video resume merely shows how one performs in front of a camera. (Source: yahoo News)
