For some positions, a video pitch may even be mandatory. Either way, a video pitch can determine whether you land a job or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Goal of Your Video Pitch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember805\">The goal of your video pitch should be for the hiring manager to get to know more about you. There are different ways to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Elaborate on something mentioned on your resume<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Tell something that isn\u2019t mentioned on your resume or cover letter<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Introduce yourself<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember808\">Before you start filming your video pitch you need to prepare a few things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Clothing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember810\">What are you going to wear? Think about the position you would like to fill within the company. When you\u2019ve established that, you can adapt your outfit to the role. Also, think about the company itself. Is it a formal company, or is it more modern? If you have connections within the company, don\u2019t be afraid to ask them about the dress code. If you look the part in your video pitch, it is easier for the hiring manager to imagine you in the role that you\u2019re applying for. Always keep in mind that you should dress to impress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember812\">Make sure you film in a (relatively) quiet location. It doesn\u2019t have to be a special place. Your living room or bedroom is sufficient. Just make sure that there isn\u2019t too much noise in the background. You should also make sure that your background is clean. For example, no pile of clothes sitting on a chair in your bedroom in the background. No toys lying around in the living room, etc. If you want to film outside, it\u2019s important to ensure there isn\u2019t too much wind. If it\u2019s a windy day, the sound of your video might not be up to par.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember814\">Make sure your video pitch is short, as it is a bonus to complement your resume or cover letter. A maximum of 3 minutes would do. When you\u2019re required to make a video pitch, you should always make sure not to exceed the time limit given in the instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember816\">You don\u2019t need professional equipment to film a video pitch. A digital camera or the camera on your smartphone is sufficient. Editing is unnecessary but can help if you want to add special effects to your video. You can easily download free editing programs and simply edit the video yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember817\">Now that you know what it takes to make a video pitch, what are you waiting for? Create your video pitch and land your dream job! And don\u2019t worry if it\u2019s not perfect in one take. The beauty of video is that you can do it over and over again until you think that it is okay.
