Your VideoCV is often the first time an employer "meets" you. Two minutes is plenty — if you use them well. Here's how to make them count.
Structure beats improvisation
A simple structure that works:
- Who you are — name and one sentence about your professional identity (15 seconds)
- What you do best — your top 2–3 skills with a concrete example (60 seconds)
- What you're looking for — the kind of role and environment where you thrive (30 seconds)
- A confident close — why a company should talk to you (15 seconds)
The practical details
Record in daylight facing a window, keep the camera at eye level, and choose a quiet, tidy background. Speak as if you're talking to one person, not presenting to a room. And don't chase perfection — authenticity is exactly what makes video work.
Re-record until you're happy, then publish. On Talent-On-Board your VideoCV works for you around the clock: companies can discover you and reach out even before you apply.
