 A friend of mine has been searching for his next new job for 2 months but still drew a blank. Yesterday when he was making an online video chat with me to complain about the injustice distracted him; I noticed that he was not as poor as he looked in front of webcam. An idea jumped into my mind so I told him: “You look pretty smart and energetic through camera, why not trying introducing yourself through it?”

It seemed that my words stoke him to grow up some tips. He continued my topic with more interesting thoughts: “I found there were few clicks on my resume, so is there any idea to get it over?”

After 10 seconds in silence, our mind swung as one to a new concept: personal  screen recording resume.

Well, at first do not mention the possibility this new born phrase works. Since the population of online streaming media and development of screen recording technology, people have blurted out many novelties to share new ideas and represent themselves.
