On Camera?

Are video resumes a fad? Blogger Ryan Healy thinks so, and gives three reasons:

• Looking good on camera is a learned skill
• Written communication is a more important
• Most jobs never require you to be on camera

All good points. To me, the clincher is still that most U.S. business worry they're setting themselves up for discrimination actions if they actually see the candidate while doing their early screening. At least one commentator replies that Healy should "let recruiting attempt to evolve," but I don't think much evolution's going to go on here until the EEOC gets involved
