How To Film & Edit a Video Cover Letter
For the past 7 years, video has been my secret weapon to hack the job search process & land the jobs that I've wanted! 🔥
A few years after moving to the U.S. I was trying to find a job in the Software Industry & nothing was working. As an immigrant, it was hard to get interviews in a city where no one knew me.
One day I decided to take matters into my own hands and kickstarted the interview process by sending a video cover letter with my applications. It worked! I started getting interviews! The video allowed recruiters to see the human behind the application.Â
You don’t need fancy equipment to record the kind of video cover letter that will open doors for you.
