CloudTask Marketplace Job Community - Week 27 - 2024

I Created A Video, But I Haven’t Landed Any Interviews...

Objective:

Analyze the common factors of top-rated videos and determine why yours is not receiving views.

Topics:

  • Review the top-rated video checklist

  • Analyze top-rated videos

  • Evaluate your marketplace profile (CV listing)

Review The Top-Rated Video Checklist

There are two things to consider:

The first is the "setup". The place where you are should create a good impression and help enhance your professional brand. Key factors include having good lighting, no background noise, and being dressed professionally. These are crucial to standing out among other candidates in the market.

Remember, it's not just about having the necessary experience but also about presenting yourself professionally.

The second one is the video's content. Essentially, we recommend being concise and providing information that helps hiring managers make informed hiring decisions. This means giving concrete details that allow hiring managers to understand your profile clearly.

Clearly discuss the types of roles you have held in the past and the roles you are currently seeking. Additionally, provide details about your role-specific skills and software proficiency (e.g., Apollo.io, Clay, HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.).

Top Rated Video Checklist

Analyze Top-Rated Videos

It is important to analyze the top profiles in the market to understand the common factors they share. This will also help us visualize what is expected of us. In the Cloudtask Marketplace, we have a series of candidates classified as "Top-rated." Remember, you are competing against these candidates, and the idea is to make your professional brand stand out. Therefore, use these examples as a baseline and always strive to create a better video.

Let’s analyze the video of one of our top-rated candidates:

Video Highlights:

  • Personal Presentation: Cristian presents himself confidently and articulates his experience clearly and concisely. His professional demeanor is evident throughout the video.

  • Audio Quality: The audio quality is clear, and Cristian's voice is easily understandable without any background noise interference.

  • Role Outline: Cristian specifies his experience in B2B and SaaS, detailing his expertise in handling various communication channels like phone, email, and LinkedIn. He also describes the types of buyer personas he has contacted and their respective roles, demonstrating his knowledge and proficiency.

Feedback & Tips:

  • Professional Setting: Cristian’s background is clean, organized, and free of distractions. However, it could be improved with some professional decoration, such as a library, dedicated workstation, or even a simple detail like a plant.

  • Specify Industries and Tools: Cristian specifies his experience in B2B and SaaS industries. For improvement, he could mention any specific tools or software platforms he used, adding further credibility to his role-specific skills.

  • Highlight Methods and KPIs: While Cristian mentions the channels he has worked on, he could further enhance his video by discussing the methods he employed and key performance indicators (KPIs) he tracked. This would provide a clearer picture of his strategic approach and success metrics.

  • Video Quality: The video quality is good, with proper lighting that ensures Cristian's face is visible.

Additional Comments:

Cristian effectively communicates his relevant experience and knowledge of buyer personas, which align well with clients' requirements in the Cloudtask marketplace. To further strengthen his video, he could elaborate on specific tools and performance metrics used in his previous roles. Overall, Cristian’s presentation is professional and aligns well with the top-rated video checklist guidelines.

As you can see, this video is highly rated on our platform, but there are still some areas for improvement. We want to emphasize that there's always room for improvement, and we encourage you to retake your video until you're satisfied with the result that will be shown to the hiring managers.
