5 Tips for Getting that Grad Factor:

Planning is the key to a successful video showcase, so cvseeme has a few tips for planning a star performance:

1. 1. Write an outline
   • Use keywords
   • Structure your video - Have a beginning, middle and end
2. 2. Showcase your skills and summarise them clearly
3. 3. Focus on your audience – Your desired employer
4. 4. Be Unique
   • Make yourself stand out from a crowd of graduates with similar qualifications
   • Your video showcase does not necessarily have to be a video of you talking
5. 5. Keep it simple - Bear in mind that most journalists could report World War Two in its entirety in less than 3 minutes.
