E-me Set To Replace First Interview

Online, February 7, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Meet The Real Me has launched the e-me video cv, a fresh, new online tool which allows employers to assess the personality as well as the qualifications of candidates applying for any job, anywhere in world. The e-me is the new online profile which connects a candidate with prospective employers. It is free to set up and incorporates all the elements of a traditional CV, with the added benefit of an accompanying short, structured video interview to highlight a candidate's charisma, confidence and communication skills.

"For many roles the personality of candidates, largely invisible on a written CV, is a vital employment criterion," comments Meet The Real Me Director Brian Michael. "With an e-me, candidates are not just a qualification, they're an individual. The e-me provides an easy way for employers to avoid fruitless first interviews with candidates who simply aren't right for the job, while getting closer to the right candidates earlier in the recruitment process." Meet The Real Me is encouraging employers to request an e-me as part of all their job applications.

All a candidate needs to create an e-me is a webcam, internet access and plenty of enthusiasm. Jobseekers are then free to share their e-me with employers, whether it is via email, job boards, social networks or smart phones.

For employers, the e-me is an attractive alternative to traditional written CVs, as they face mounting applications and fierce competition for any given role. They can now find the best matches for their vacancies whilst saving time and resources in the process - an appealing prospect in today's job market.

Continues Brian Michael: "Every e-me is structured and professional, making comparisons between candidates easy." Each candidate answers the same three questions that are most commonly asked during job interviews. They elaborate on their personal attributes and activities, their qualifications and work experience and on what makes them employable. "In effect it's a CV with personality. With the e-me, employers can get up close and personal from the comfort of their desks."
