The multimedia resume

After Ryan Dougherty sent out about 70 traditional resumes to prospective employers and got no responses, he decided he needed to shake things up.

“I had to take a different approach,” he explains, but he didn’t quite know what to do. That is, until he came across a video resume site called InterviewClips.com and thought, “What do I have to lose?”

He quickly made a video resume and decided whenever he applied for a job online that he would upload a cover letter with a link to the video instead of a standard resume.
