OptimalResume.com Releases a Video Resume Creation Console for the Higher Education Market

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) November 2, 2007 -- OptimalResume.com, the leader in online resumes servicing over 250 universities worldwide with its suite of career service learning modules has released the most comprehensive series of tools available for creation of top-quality video resumes. This module is designed to help students and alumni construct and store video resumes. The toolset includes:

Script builder which has a wide variety of script types such as for employer-specific job applications, industry wide, internships, graduate school applications and even scholarship applications. With each script type there is guidance and numerous examples for each section of the video like introduction, qualification summary and closing.

Teleprompter which allows for displaying scrolling script with controls for speeding or slowing it and allowing for resizing and rehearsing. Settings can be saved and timing adjustments made to keep the video short and concise.

Quality checklist and controls for previews, retakes and adjustments. Each institution that subscribes can set its own quality standards and guidelines.

Video resume stylist function that provides the user with a wide range of skins and styling options. Text and bullets can easily be made to zoom in and out in a separate display panel for providing emphasis during the video, in a manner similar to a Powerpoint® presentation but vastly simplified for ease of use.

But is the world ready for video resumes?

Todd Lempicke, President of OptimalResume and with twenty years in the recruiting industry says, "Absolutely yes, video resumes give another layer of information that employers seek such as revealing personality traits, communication skills, quickness, presentation skills and corporate image. Clearly the video resume is not a replacement for a traditional resume because it is far more efficient to review and scan traditional resumes and look for qualifications, education, experience and other factors. I think of a video resume as an opportunity for a candidate to set themselves apart and market themselves more effectively - to make their personalities shine through and gain a competitive edge." He went on to say, "We have used video conferencing for interviews with many clients for over a dozen years saving huge amounts of travel and time. Video resumes are a natural extension of this but better. Like it or not, video resumes are here to stay."

OptimalResume.com's mission is to lead the resume software marketplace by providing private branding of the OptimalResume Modules? to interested organizations.
