I don't need an advantage of the camera and I am fine in front of the camera. I've had seminars and training sessions I have done in the past video taped and been very happy with the results. There are plenty of people out there that aren't great in front of the camera that I would hire over anyone else in their field. I don't think it is valid as a distinguishing factor in a req search and I don't think it adds anything to the process.

If you find the right type of person, who excells on screen, this would give them a distinct advantage in landing a job that would require the individual to be in a spot light position. If the shoe fits... Is it possible you don’t like video resumes because you aren’t comfortable on camera?
