With the influx of social media in our society, there are many more options and ways of doing something to stand out. One such way is the video resume. With the unemployment rate pushing new records every day, companies are seeing a huge increase in the number of  resumes that come across their desks, the question is: what can you do to stand out?

Many people are now creating profile websites hiring managers can read up on the person and get a dose of their resume in online formatting. However, even this is not as catching as my favorite technique: The video resume. The video resume is a way to talk about yourself, put a face with a name and make something that the hiring manager will really remember.

Check out this professional video resume:

A Hiring manager cannot help but remember a video like this, especially if everything else they received was only a piece of paper listing a person’s accomplishments and qualifications.

So remember this the next time you are going in for a job interview, if you really want to be remembered you have to do something to stand out. And if you have a lot of guts, maybe you can try something like this:

The above qualifications are great, but if you do not have any connections in the business world, then finding a job becomes very difficult. Lucky for us, we live in the world of technology and we have the powers of Social Media at our fingertips. In order to find a job these days, you have to go above and beyond, make connections and meet new people, which is where Social Networking comes in. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace are great ways to meet new people and converse with all of your friends simultaneously. However, when it comes to finding a job, one site reigns supreme: LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a Social Networking site that focuses on the business world and helping people make connections with likeminded professionals and business industries that interest them. LinkedIn has a great job searching function that allows you to search for a job and see how many degrees of separation exist between you and a hiring manager, which is helpful for making the right connections to help get you an “in.” LinkedIn also has a place to insert all of your accomplishments and previous jobs, much like a resume would format it, and even incorporates a place for people you have worked with, to write recommendations for you, which in turn are looked at by Hiring Managers.

In this economy, finding a job can be very time consuming, but it does not have to be too difficult. LinkedIn is a great tool for any level of business professionals and really makes it much easier to find a job, even in poor conditions such as this.
