Video Resumes

I have a pretty good job situation, but always keeping an eye out for new opportunities. I think I will get more aggressive beginning '08. While networking and reading up online around industry and job search ideas, I have seen video resume pitches often.

My question is the excitement seems to be generated by companies offering the service. I have no examples of actual hiring managers or recruiters excited about the presentation - is there something to read into this?

I am in sales and present well, however, if the decisions makers don't care, should I? What say you?

Thanks!

I think having a video(s) on a personal website is a good idea as long as it is relevant and a good representation of your personality. -not mono-toned and scripted...unless that is your personal brand

I think the key is your presentation is embedded into content. I do think sending a video resume to a recruiter and hiring manager up front is a bad idea because you are assuming they want to take the time to watch. Get the live interview via phone and referrals!
