Is your video resume up to date?

Jus InternationalJus International, a VC funded Network Marketing health company, is taking an interesting approach to finding a VP of Sales and VP of Marketing.

Jús International is a company based on health and wellness. In addition to professional qualifications, creativity and excitement are essential. We have received a large amount of resumes and have decided we wanted to see how creative and enthusiastic you are.

In order to learn more about you and see you live, please send us a video resume via a private YouTube showing or CD Rom.

There were a few things that struck me about this:

  • How many VP level people do you know that can shoot and edit video?
  • How many VP level people do you know that have ever or could upload a video to YouTube?

I’m probably being overly harsh to make a point. But Jus is definitely putting a stake in the ground. They want tech savvy creative leadership, it’s not enough to hire creative.

But this doesn’t surprise me. Jeff Boyle, Jus’ CEO, has previously started a tech company and a media comapny. I’d be interested to hear what percentage of their applicants actually send in video resumes.

  1. I’d be very interested in finding out how many videos they receive. Can you let us know if you get that stat?

  2. For some reason these thoughts came to mind:
    * How many sons or daughters of VP level people do you know that can shoot and edit video?
    * How many sons or daughters of VP level people do you know that have ever or could upload a video to YouTube?

    I would say most, if not all of them. I thought of this because my younger brother (age 15) just applied for a job at http://teensintech.com/. It is amazing what young people are doing with technology.

  3. I’ll update if Jeff gives it to me. I’m sure it’ll take a while.

  5. Hey I can do that stuff. I’d say I’m a VP level kinda guy too. I mean what do VP’s really do anyway besides play golf and make the occasional important decision? The decision doesn’t even need to be the right one!

  6. it should be up to date as always, every single change in your paper resume you should make a new video resume.
