Video clips are becoming more common for profiling yourself and presenting yourself for a perspective job.
good course
An interesting concept for using social media as a form of CV appendix , students have to be careful though as inappropriate past social media extracts could be detrimental.
Great module to start reflecting on the role of social media in finding a job "Thoughtful, planned use of digital media such as video, photos, embedded sound files and other tools and techniques can build a positive image – or personal brand – that will help a learner to sell themselves as a person."
Very useful information
Not everyone uses social media.
