Video Resume and Social Media & Content Creation Workshop
On Tuesday 4th June, a group of Year 6 students and Senior School students joined together in the ‘Video Resume and Social Media & Content Creation Workshop’ seminar run by Stephanie Aceglav from @mediaformillenials. We settled into the Gregorian Centre for what turned out to be an interesting and fulfilling experience.
We learned that companies have begun to require video resumes. This is due to the impact of AI, with businesses finding that so many potential employees are submitting amazing resumes, but many are written by AI. The video process helps the business to capture an impression of you. It gives a snapshot of your personality, preparedness and a visual of you, showing how you speak and how confident you are in a short period of time. She presented on how to make a standout video resume by considering your presentation, eye contact, lighting, and body language. We found that the key to making a lasting impression in a video resume is how you close, and that in what you say, less could be more. In this we found our public speaking skills transferred well!
All the students participated enthusiastically, and we ended our session with some very polished video resumes. The students showed they possess great skills in verbal communication, information technology and in problem solving. We thank Mr Ivancic for the opportunity to further our skills that will serve us well into the future.
