Admit it: all your life you've coasted through because of your overwhelming good looks. But how is that going to help you in a job search when they want you to send in a paper resume with no photo whatsoever? Enter VideoJobShop, a site where employers and job seekers can post videos online. For employers, this is a chance to advertise the benefits of being an employee of their company. For job seekers, this is your chance to display your beautiful mug to prospective employers, in real web 2.0 style.
VideoJobShop is not only a place to post video resumes (though of course you can do that if you wish). Maybe you looking for a dancing job, and have a few customized moves to show off. Well, here's your chance. Shoot and upload your video, and watch the requests come flooding in.
We checked out a lot of the videos from prospective employers (which seems to make up the majority of the videos on the site). They ranged wildly in quality and production value, from someone speaking in front of an online cam to highly polished commercials.
If you're in the market for a job or an employee, VideoJobShop provides an interesting means to those ends.

Worst idea ever. Fat people and ugly people will be passed over. Hiring people is about their skill set.
