Lesson 2 of 5

Record a video CV that gets you noticed

Light, background and what to say, so employers see you at your best.

3 min +10 points

Why a video CV?

Employers trust what they can see. A short video shows how you speak, how you look at work, and that you are a real, serious person. On IndicJobs you answer 4 short questions on camera.

Get the light right

  • Face a window or a light. Light should fall on your face, not behind you.
  • The app tells you when your face is clear with a light check.
  • Hold the phone at eye level. Rest it on a table or a pile of books.

Background and dress

Choose a plain wall. If your room is busy, turn on background blur with one tap. Wear clean clothes you would wear to an interview. If you have a uniform, like a chef coat, wear it.

What to say

Smile, say your name, then answer simply. Keep each answer under a minute. Speak the way you would to a kind employer.
