Where are all the video resumes?
Where are all the video resumes?
You’ve been hearing about this tool being used by job seekers in the west but why it did not reach in the Philippines? Actually, it’s not popular either out there for a fact that they started the crazy idea so how much more in our country to day where in bandwidth and internet access to our employees has been an issue. If you’ll check on YouTube then you’ll see thousands of video resumes.
Moreover, I really find the idea fantastic but somehow I find it so funny or odd. We Filipinos love watching movies and we all know that but one thing also that we Filipinos love doing is criticizing. We’ll constructive criticism as you justify it.
2007 UPLB Oblation Run
Oopppss…this is the 2004 UPLB Oblation run. I dare not take a picture of them. Not now.
The thing about being in UP is that over time, you become more perceptive, wais and magulang in the name of serious socio/political/acad stuff or just for the heck of it. UP has become a melting pot of sorts and through the years, the student pool has become increasingly diverse and interesting. The yearly Oblation Run is one event that helps classify the students into, what my friends and I call, ‘categories’. When the APO boys come running, the students would have their own reactions:

Where would you get your next employee?
Where would you get your next employee?
This has been a common question to most recruiters recently whether the company is big or small. Others would rather stick to the traditional approach i.e. news paper postings since they’ve got good experiences using that system. To others who can really afford or who just wanted to exploit those job seekers who use the internet as their medium of searching for their next employer they tend to rely on various expensive job portals.  With both trends being used by companies right now, where in the latter is more or less 10 yrs older, I’m sorry to tell you this that your stuck on both old systems that is not really effective to date and shall I say that your recruiters are not doing their job, that you never utilized every resources and means available or simply put you fail to innovate.
Let me drop this question to employers who’ve been using both mediums as their only approach in luring applicants to your vacancies.
How effective was the approach? I define effectiveness here where in you are still in contact with those potential applicants 24/7 out from those methods i.e. news paper postings and job portal subscriptions. Another question is, were the applicants who came from those medium qualified or even potential for the position without even lowering your standards? Is it worth keeping their resumes (efile’s & hard copies) for a fact that resumes gets obsolete after 6 months? Was it worth the investment or resources – time? Well of course cases in point here are dependent to what type of industry you are into. But before flooding me your answers you might consider my points.
The most common problems a recruiter would most likely encounter is that, when a vacancy is available and you now have an eyed applicant in your pool. You start retrieving his/her resume and start calling the potential applicant only to find out that his contact information is not anymore active. To make the matter worst, his not open for the post and his resume is already 6 – 9 months old, not unless if this applicant has been sending you his/her updated resume every week so I would presume also that you’re company has been spending again and again just to get these resumes filed in your resume banks. And then your databank crashes gone are those efiles – resume.

Isang Pamamaalam
Ang hirap talaga. Ang sakit. Ang saklap mawalan ng isang bagay na parte ng iyong pagkatao. Maiisip mo na lang kung gaano ito kahalaga sa pagkawala nito. Bigla mo na lang malalasahan ang tamis sa bawat pait na idinulot nito sa iyo. Pilit mong iniisip kung kaya pa bang ibalik ang lahat gayong sumisigaw sa iyong mukha ang malupit na kasagutan.
Sabado – ang araw na nasaksihan ng tadhana ang isang pagbabago sa aking buhay. Isang bagay ang nawala at ngayo’y isang piraso na lamang ng alaala. Nahahawakan ko pa rin subalit hindi ko na maibabalik. Sabado nang ang isang pangyayari ay iniwan akong hirap magsalita at bukas ang bibig – dahil nawalan ako ng ngipin. Hehe.
