Yeah! I received such a video cover letter a few days back and it was a great experience. They are very effective, encouraging, motivating and interesting. Give a try and tell me. Cheers!

It is recession time and unemployment is at its peak. And there are 100s of profiles for one post. I am sure definitely the employer has no time to go thorugh Video cover letter.
Whae employer wants is sweet and short profile, which describes your strengths, achievements at one glance and will pull attention through hundreds of profiles.

I hear you - However, don't you think it could go the other way as well? Perhaps a video resume might allow you to stand out from the pack in a time like this? The HR person might find enjoyment out of watching a video instead of reading their 100th cover letter for that day. Just a thought....

Cheers! Mike
