Show employers who you are, not only what is on your CV
A short video lets an employer hear you speak and see how you explain your work. SelfIntroVideo helps you make one without a camera crew or perfect English.
Made for skilled workers on the move
SelfIntroVideo is made for tradespeople and skilled workers who apply for jobs, often in another country, and who may speak English as a second language: mechanics, electricians, welders, chefs, carpenters, plumbers, drivers, care workers and many more.
Your script comes from your own profile, so it talks about your real job and your real experience.
- You want to look and sound ready before the first interview
- You find it hard to know what to say about yourself
- You get nervous on camera
- English is not your first language
- You apply to employers far away who cannot meet you in person
Three things that make a good self-intro
Keep it short
About one minute. Say your name, your trade, your years of experience, two or three skills and the work you want.
Be easy to hear
A quiet room, the phone close to you, and a steady pace. Clear words matter more than a perfect accent.
Look at the lens
Read from the teleprompter near the top of the screen and keep your eyes close to the camera.
