How a video resume helped me get my dream job

Having just graduated college, I was nervous about where I was going to get my first job. I never really had done an interview before and not sure how to handle myself. I practiced with friends and family and to an extent it was helpful. But I was never that comfortable to go into someone’s office and talk about myself and what I can do for the company.
Eventually I had to do the interview but for this company that I was planning on working for told me to send my resume over the internet using http://www.vsona.com/ . For those of you who do not know what that is, it is an internet site where you could upload a video about your resume. It is actually a great way for someone who is hiring to get to know you even better because they not only do they get to see what you have done career wise but they get to see what you look like and how comfortable you are talking.
It is how they get to know you better without even seeing you. I imagine business like it too because it saves a lot of time because they can watch a resume instead of read it. They can see who presents themselves in a business manner and who is a good speaker.
All in all, it helped me get a job and I think it will help business hire quality people at a faster rate.
