How To Write a PERFECT Video Resume Script | Video Resume Script in 2022 | Job Majestic

Overview

Job Majestic presenter Jess explains how to structure and deliver a professional video-resume script. The goal is to help interviewers understand a candidate’s background and encourage them to invite the candidate for an interview.

Four-Part Video-Resume Script

1. Self-introduction: State your name, the position you’re applying for, your field of study, and your language skills.
2. Activities and projects: New graduates can describe relevant university or community activities. Connect your responsibilities—such as event promotion, copywriting, or sponsor outreach—to the target role.
3. Internship or work experience: Explain what you learned and which skills or tools you used. Include measurable results where possible. In the example, the candidate says their social media work helped increase the company’s Facebook and Instagram followers by 20%.
4. Why you want the role: Briefly mention the company and the job responsibilities, then connect them to your interests, experience, and career goals.

Also show relevant education, certifications, awards, or recommendation letters, and include your contact details.

Recording and Presentation Checklist

• Treat the video like a presentation: prepare and practise a script, speak clearly, and look at the camera.
• Record in a quiet, well-lit place with a plain background, and check that the microphone works. Jess gives an approximate microphone or headset price range of RM10–RM150.
• Use gestures and record in horizontal orientation.
• Be creative while keeping the tone appropriate for an interview. If unsure, choose a conservative, professional style.
• Dress formally and present yourself professionally.

Example and Metrics

The sample candidate is applying for a business marketing specialist role. They describe their marketing-event responsibilities, social media management, and use of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

The stated result is 20% follower growth across Facebook and Instagram. No other business KPIs, targets, or timelines are discussed.
