Some advantages of viewing a Video Job Interview for a hiring manager are:

1. More valuable information with minimal time requirements.
2. A test of the candidate’s ingenuity and ability to use current technology.
3. The advantage of viewing the candidate answering questions in a somewhat stressful situation.
4. The ability to see what a candidate deems important and an idea of what type of end result (The Video) the candidate believes is a job well done.

For a job seeker there are many advantages to creating a video being interviewed for a job opening. Most importantly it would show great ingenuity, as I have not seen anyone do it yet. Here a few other advantages that comes to mind:

1. Showcase your ability to use current technology.
2. Your Video Job Interview can be produced to highlight your strengths and accomplishments, and targeted to impress hiring managers.
3. The advantage of marketing the video to hiring managers via social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
4. Your video link can be marketed in your e-mail signature.
5. Gaining a competitive edge.

Below is the link to the Video Job Interview I created with Amanda Zabriski. Amanda is in the job market and will use her Video Job Interview in her job search.

This is where I need some help. Is this a good idea? Can it be improved on? Please make comments, and do not be afraid to be critical. I am the Chairperson of the Monmouth/Ocean Chapter of the Financial Executives Networking Group (FENG) and am testing the Video Job Interview for the group. Any feedback will help us improve on using YouTube Videos in your job search.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to conquer your fear of public speaking and start capitalizing on those great opportunities that come your way. Patricia Stark, the founder of Media Image Coach.com, has empowered and esteemed top Television Hosts, News Anchors, Broadway performers, CEO’s, Authors, Medical Professionals, Sales Professionals and many of the 80% of American’s who fear public speaking. 

Patricia Stark is a fun, sharp, and approachable television host & actor. A former Miss New York, El Salvador Karaoke Contest Winner, News Anchor, and eye ball shaking champion, Patricia has served as host for several nationally distributed programs airing in the U.S. and Canada. Most recent news: Patricia recently completed a pilot for The Learning Channel as a career coach bringing her experience as founder of MediaImageCoach.com hosting the new show “Paycheck Showdown”. 

Let’s ask her some questions and find out some ways to overcome our fear of public speaking.

JF: Thanks so much for appearing on our show Patricia. Why do business professionals have a fear of public speaking?

PS: Public Speaking is generally outside of our comfort zone, and whenever we are out of our comfort zone, anxiety escalates causing our fear.

JF: How extensive is the fear of public speaking?

PS: Many polls have shown Public Speaking as our number one fear in life, in fact it ranks higher than the fear of dying, drowning, insects, and other fears.

JF: What steps can we take to overcome our fear of public speaking?

PS: One of the first and very important steps is to not make the presentation about our self, make it more about delivering something of value to your audience. Instead of concentrating on “What if I stink?” make the presentation about “How can I benefit my audience” and shift the focus away from stressing yourself to how to benefit the audience.

JF: Tell us how you work with a client?

PS: I feel it is important to bring them into an environment where they can practice and visualize their presentation. This helps build confidence and a comfort zone which helps reduce the anxiety and stress of the presentation.

JF: Any Closing Comments?

PS: It is very important to practice and visualize your presentation to prepare, however, we must realize that none of us is perfect, so do the best job you can and deliver something of value to your audience.

JF: How would someone contact you?
