VideoJobShop: Find jobs and employees with video

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.

Emurse: Resumes, Web 2.0-style

EmurseI was made aware of Emurse a couple weeks ago, but forgot about it until today when I came across this very positive review at Solution Watch.

Emurse allows you to create a resume using its resume builder or upload multiple resumes. Each resume will get a unique, permanent URL that you can send to potential employers, who can download them in six different formats: DOC, PDF, RTF, ODT, HTML, and TXT. It also lets you e-mail, fax, or mail resumes and sync your resume with other job sites. Emurse is free for everyone, though I'm not sure if there are charges for faxing or mailing services.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
