I’m a fan of the “work video” era. I like the flexibility. I like how, as Apple Facetime ushered in a new way to “personally” stay connected with distant family and friends, Zoom et al. have done the same in the workplace. And I like that I can put a cool light on and make my skin silky smooth. Don’t …
If you haven’t heard, video killed not only the radio star, but also the resume. The resume isn’t dead yet, but the video interview is a naughty vixen pulling the hiring manager’s attention away from traditional resumes. Video is the Blanche DuBois to the resume’s Stella Kawolski. Stella gets the job done, but Blanche kicks things up a whole ‘nuther …
I recently traveled down to Sydney, Australia to speak at HR Tech Fest.

Back in 2009, it was I who predicted the take off of video interviewing/video profiles! I also predicted Healthcare reform would go nowhere, so 50/50 seems to be …
