Remote Job Application Tip: Why A Video Cover Letter Can Give You An Edge

  • Posted on Dec 29, 2023

Iโ€™m sure you know that competition for remote jobs is fiercer than ever before. If you’re aiming for your dream remote role, it’s time to make sure your application materials are top-notch.

Targeting your resume and cover letter to the specific role is a given, but have you considered including a link to a video cover letter? This powerful tool can be a game-changer in showcasing your passion and fit for the job.

Here’s why a video cover letter can give you the edge:

It offers a glimpse into your personality and professional energy, helping the hiring team get to know, like, and trust you.  When they connect with you on a personal level, your chances of landing an interview skyrocket.

It helps you stand out in a positive way amidst the sea of applications remote jobs receive.  When you go the extra mile and present yourself through video, you become memorable and leave a lasting impression.

Remember, remote job applications often flood recruiters’ inboxes, and you want to be the one that shines through. ๐Ÿ’ซ

If you can turn on your video and feel comfortable speaking up in a zoom meeting, you can record a video cover letter for yourself. Just let your authentic self shine in a 30-90 second (or up to 4 minutes) video cover letter.
