Your Daily Dose of Awesome: Neil Patrick Harris' Video Resume

It’s time to step into the 21st Century, an age characterized by Web 2.0, Facebook and a president who is technologically savvy. In this era, paper resumes are a thing of the past, a relic from a time when man scrawled their qualifications onto parchment in an attempt to secure entry-level positions at dead-end jobs. OK, so we still do this today, but it’s time for a change.

 

Neil Patrick Harris knows this better than everyone else. And so, he’s pioneering the resume renaissance, a job hunter’s revolution in which we all put down our figurative pens (our keyboards) and pick up camcorders instead.

 

With a video resume, a job applicant can dazzle his prospective employer with his technical prowess and ability to work video-editing equipment. More importantly, however, he can conceal his many shortcomings behind a torrent of special effects that command a viewer’s attention, forcing them to forget the task on hand and concentrate on the awesomeness that is your very being.

 

The key an effective video resume is the following:

 

1. Don’t acknowledge the job you’re applying for—at all. This should be an autobiography that doesn’t actually tell the employer anything about your past.
2. Use lots of generic buzz words, like awesome, determined, punctual, etc.
3. Explosions are key; the more, the better.
4. Make up words like “possimpible.”
5. Don’t do anything in the video. Stand next to flashy objects that imply you’ve accomplished a lot.

 

In this ailing job market, the key is standing above the pack—and accomplishing the possimpible.
