Video Storytelling To Land A Dream Job

A Video Story Is Even Stronger Than A Video Resume

St. Louis, MO – April 13, 2022 – You deserve your dream job. We want to help you land that dream job by telling your story in a way that will move you to the front of the line.

Nothing is more powerful than a well told story on screen.

If you want to be remembered, you must tell an amazing story. That is true no matter what the context. Landing a big job is no different. Tell me you haven’t thought if you could just get in front of the right people to let them know what you could do, you would own it. They would roll out the red carpet and be selling you on why you should work for them.

Well to get to that point, you need to stand out in a world controlled by algorithms and over worked HR departments.

How do you stand out? How do you move to the front of the line?

A GREAT VIDEO.

Video is a wonderful way to stand out as a job applicant. Just google “video resume” to see what I mean. HR people and job market experts are all talking about video resumes. It makes sense right. Especially after the pandemic pushed so much of the process to video interviews. People are getting c-suite jobs with zoom interviews.

I’ll be honest. I never thought that would be possible.

Pre March 2020, if someone said “virtual” to me, I would have thought they were talking about the whole oculus glasses video game thing. The metaverse. Now I hear virtual and think work from home.


Part of what makes working from home possible is video. Video is changing everything. So here is the thing. Video is one of the most powerfully human ways of telling a story. It can also feel a bit dehumanizing if you are zooming all the time.

So when I hear a term like video resume, my ears perk up. It is the video part that gets me excited. Resume not so much.

Resume sounds like words on paper. A list with a bunch of active verbs. You deserve more than a list set to video.

You should tell a story that ensures that your intended audience – the hiring manager and HR department at your dream employer see you as their dream candidate.

How do you do that?

That is where StorySMART comes in. We specialize in storytelling with a purpose. Our storytelling is designed to reach your targeted audience.

You talking about you is great, but you know what is even better?

Others talking about how great you are for a role.

If you are well organized and can provide us with good photographs or videos from your past, we can take your story to the next level beautifully conveying your story in a video that could run as a story on your favorite magazine television show. And here is the thing. You own it. Forever.

If you have set up resume website that includes your portfolio, the video can be the first thing someone sees when they land on the website. You can embed it within your LinkedIn profile. You can share it on Facebook. You can pay to put it up in Times Square if you own it.

You deserve that dream job. And we want to help you get it with a premium video profile that tells your story in the high-quality way you deserve.
