The hunt for a job is being revolutionised by technology, which is increasingly being used by job-seekers as a means of standing out from the crowd.

According to the BBC, a technological revolution is occuring in the world of job seeking, with recruitment agencies being squeezed out by tools such as social media.<\/P>

Several potential employees are taking advantage of new ways of gaining exposure in front of future employers by posting video resumes on YouTube.<\/P>

Video allows them to show off their personalities in a way that a paper CV cannot, gaining them an additional ‘wow’ factor in front of employers.<\/P>

Graeme Anthony, who needed to get a job in PR, exploited the medium when he sat behind a table pitching his skills, and posted the video onto YouTube. <\/P>

His novel approach was immediately picked up on by London PR agency, Frank PR, who invited him in for an  interview and awarded him the job. <\/P>

Graham Goodkind, chairman and founder of Frank PR, told the BBC that he was surprised so few candidates resorted to such hi-tech tricks.<\/P>

“It’s always amazed me in this day and age, that when things are moving so quickly from a technological point of view, CVs and resumes are really the same as they were 10, 15 or even 20 years ago.<\/P>

“So this really opened up our eyes to how it really could be done and we wanted to meet the guy straight away.”<\/P>

In addition to posting your video on networks like YouTube, job seekers are also helped along the way by a number of videos explaining better ways of marketing themselves, as wells as tips on how to make video CVs.
