It is possible to record a simple video using your phone and send it as an mp4 file. However, it’s worth it to consider more sophisticated (though just as simple) methods.
Since one of the advantages of sending a video CV is to show the prospective employer that you are comfortable with technology and new platforms, take 90 seconds of your video CV to highlight these skills. Consider using a platform such as simpleshow.
Employers who ask for a video CV are likely the same companies or organizations that use platforms such as
simpleshow to create explainer videos for their onboarding, training, and internal meetings.
Creating a video CV shows the recruiter you could be a good fit with the employer. You are already familiar with various platforms and software that they may also use.
