REVIEW: PREVVIEW VISUME WARS

I'm on a job search now and I understand how bleeding competitive it is to outshine the hundreds of thousands of fresh grads every year, especially for arts students. So... today I'm introducing Prevview, which is Asia's First Interactive Video Job Portal.

In their words, Prevview is just like Facebook and it’s free!
Imagine having a jobseeker profile where you can express your true self
professionally and effectively. Your outstanding soft skills and vibrant personalities
will no longer have to be dormant within a piece of paper. Prevview enables you
to give a voice and personality to your paper resumes, through cutting edge video
streaming technology.
You no longer need to attach various documents to your potential employer. Speak
to them directly through your visumés and let them know why you should be hired.
Back your visumés up with downloadable important and relevant documents such
as cover letter, resume, portfolio, and reference letters . 


Sometimes, there is only this much that a resume can explain and it doesn't quite show your personality.
Other than looking for jobs with their comprehensive search function, you may even be headhunted by their registered employers! You guys will definitely get the most updated job vacancies in town because employers are provided with unlimited job postings!
If you're still not sure about what's a Visumé, PREVVIEW is well furbished
with a comprehensive video guide as well as Visumé tips and articles to help you
along the way.

& now...
Prevview.com has declared an official Visumé War in Singapore. They call upon
everyone from the age of 18-35* to step into the professional battle field, in a quest
to differentiate yourselves – it’s talent vs talent, Visumé vs Visumé!

Unlike any other video showdown, this war appeals to every job seeker’s most
basic struggles. That is, to stand out from the sea of job seekers with similar talents
and credentials and, to prevent themselves from being lost under a stack of paper
resumes.
Entry is simple and the prizes, amazing. Whether you are looking to get your hands
on a beautiful iPad2 or a job position [or both!] with our participating partners, this is
competition for you.

The power to conquer is in your hands!

All you need to do is put together a Visumé – what Prevview calls Video Resumés – that will show and tell us why you would make a great employee. You can sing, dance, rap, produce a movie or even sell a brick. Be it creative or professional, do it your way and boldly express your best self.

50 prizes to be won!**

43 participants from Category A and Category B who have received the highest People's Choice scores will receive $10,000 worth of attractive prizes.
Seven out of all the participants the Special Category will be placed in amazing job positions at the participating company of their choice [Winners are subjected to the discretion of their participating partner].

So, answer the declaration for war now - Prevview is providing you the weapon and you just have to bring it!

*The competition is open to anyone in any country. However, collection of prizes will be done in the Singapore Prevview office.
**Please refer to their Assessment Criteria for more information.
