I’ve been thinking a lot about how job seekers can stand out in a crowd. I wrote about it last week and suggested that it is not as difficult as you might think. Today, I’m adding a new feature to my blog and trying video blogging for the first time. Bear with me on the lighting issues! Hopefully, the tips will make up for my lack of a camera operator and high-tech studio!

   Great video blog. LaSalle recommends these same tips to our job seekers! Loved the tip on setting a Google alert of the name or company title – I will certainly be using this in the future!

   Good to see you experimenting with video, Miriam. I’m getting ready to do the same on JobMob. I got a Flip HD and I’ve been learning about lighting. Now I just need my 7-month-old to start sleeping nights so I don’t look like I’m always hung over. That, or I’ll have to delve into the Art of Makeup.

   Jacob – Thanks! My other advice – go “hip” and dark – forget the lights! I actually had several people say that they LIKED the lighting! Can’t wait to see your videos!

   Thanks for the tip, but my desk faces a window overlooking the sea. It would effort to get rid of the light

   Also, keep in mind that older people/people with eyesight problems will have a harder time watching you i.e. they won’t. The same reason to not have a white-text-on-black-background blog.

   This was a recent clip that I liked from WordPress.tv:

   for the lighting issues, close the shades and put some lights behind the camera, facing you.
