More About "Howcast"

I previewed a short video on "Resumes". I liked its humorous approach. At first, I felt that it would be useful only for a person writing his/her first resume. It advocates the chronological approach. The narrator went on to point out that if the position you held was more relevant than the company, place the position first. If the company more well known, place it first. Ah.. after hearing that the video clip went up in my estimation. There were a few more 'nuggets' in the video.

Another plus of Howcast videos is the text of the audio that appears to the right of the video window. Overall, I would recommend. While it may be most appealing to youth, there is good information for everyone writing / updating a resume. If you are a group facilitator, you might ask participants to preview it before attending the workshop, or use it as a stimulus at the beginning of a group session.
