Video Resumes : about to get obsolete ?

Video Resumes have been around for a long time

There are hundreds of portals which help a jobseeker prepare such resume. And, for a hefty fee, they will even forward your video resume to a number of employers

Video Resume ( a selfie ) consists of a presentation by the jobseeker about her :

Ø Education / Work Experience / Designations held / Salaries drawn / Domain Expertise / Industry and Function Exposure / Soft Skills / Professional Knowledge etc

Occasionally, an Employer furnishes the FORMAT in which a jobseeker must prepare her Video Resume

Whatever the permutations of the above-stated scenario, essentially a Video Resume remains a MONOLOGUE ( - a One Way chat ) – which severely limits a Recruiter’s ability to judge the suitability of a candidate for a given job

Then, a few years ago came Online Interviews, using MEET / ZOOM etc

This was a definite improvement over video resume – in that it permitted the Interviewer ( could be more than one ), to :

Ø ask any random questions

Ø watch the body language of the candidate

Ø on a hand-held ( or even online ) EVALUATION SHEET , score the candidate

Of course , ZOOM has its own limitations, viz:

Ø Only one candidate can be interviewed at a time ( Interviewer limitation )

Ø Candidate has to be present physically for each interview ( Jobseeker limitation )

Is there any way to overcome these limitations ( from both sides ) ?

Can a jobseeker present herself ONLINE, to a THOUSAND employers SIMULTANEOUSLY, in real time ?

Can she offer to be interviewed by any number of recruiters , located in a hundred COUNTRIES , at any time / same time ?

Yes . Now it is possible
