After TikTok announced its new video resume channel last week, tech-savvy job seekers have been prepping for their digital close-ups…and experts say that could be a smart move.
Following a year fraught with pandemic-related unemployment, job openings in the US hit a record high in June—a trend that continued into July. As the demand for workers persists amid the country’s reopening, experts say video resume platforms could be a helpful tool for job seekers hoping to find the perfect fit with their next position.
“Where TikTok is coming from, as well as other providers, is excellent because it gives job seekers the opportunity to use the media of video in addition to just text…for showing value to prospective employers,” Brad Taft, chief career strategist at Taft Career Group, told Lifewire in an interview by phone.
