Is your resume Internet ready?

If you do not keep up with the latest technological changes and trends that are doing the rounds of many recruitment offices in the top organizations in the country, you and your resume may be left behind.

Today, most organizations accept soft copies of CVs, so that they can easily program their computers to feed the data on these CVs into their system. Initially, that process was done by the way of optical scanners which would transfer the essential information on to the system. However, optical systems do not always capture the right data and therefore a lot of your information can be missed.

With this scenario a lot of people dropped the idea of a traditional paper CV and started working only on soft copies that were impressive and assisted easy assimilation of data at the employer’s end. The next change that has come to force is the birth of the video CV. While the video CV cannot help data collection, it gives candidates a chance to stand apart from a crowd.
A video CV through Koozba can allow candidates not only create a video CV but also upload it on the portal and use it as a network to meet with employees who may be interested in their credentials. Today, a number of recruiters are using professional and social networking websites to find the right candidates and being ready on these platforms with your profiles is equally important as having a soft or hard copy of your CV updated.
