Has anyone had to do a video resume or a short video introducing yourself? Any ideas/tips for a good video, where I don’t hide my age but I don’t highlight it either?

Use soft light. If you’re just using natural light stand near a north facing window. To soften it further put a white shower curtain over the window. Soft light will soften any shadows around places like crows feet or laugh lines.

That said, the moment you walk in the door they’re going to know. So make that video amazing!

Dress casual neutral button down shirt in a non wrinkle fabric, soft blue or flattering color. Lighting per the comment above. Key is ambiguity in look and focus on engaging though the lens. Be light and practice connecting through the camera (e.g. your favorite newscaster). Your age is you age so make them focus on your content instead. Practice and watch it back. Do it as many times as it takes.

Applying to Klick? Do a puppet show

An one friend and creative director of mine, Curvin O’Reilly, wanted to start a company called AdSox to do low budget sock puppet commercials for cash-strapped clients. You could recreate classic commercials using sock puppets. 1984! Speecy spicy meatball! The possibilities are endless!

Won’t you be in the video? I’m guessing they’ll have an idea of how old you are.

Snapchat filter it.

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

Hi fishes,
What questions shall I expect during the VP round for Genpact??
Please help.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

I know this may not be a popular comment;

I don’t understand the overvalue of “I have oncology experience, or I do have dermatology experience”.

What I do really care is to know, regardless which disease you’ve worked on, if you did something great, disruptive, found a new way of doing something, did a great/smooth launch…

Don’t have experience? If you are good on those other things, I know you can learn context fast.
