Video Resume Explosion: A Career Industry Perspective
Don Straits , Saturday, May 29, 2010 at 5:29PM I am a member of Career Directors International CDI, an outstanding organization of professional resume writers and career coaches. Today I wrote a post for their members addressing Google's announcement of launching a Video Resume Site. In many circles, video resumes are misunderstood, but they are the wave of the future. I have copied my post to CDI below. It is provocative and controversial. My intent is to motivate and serve the careers industry. I wanted to share this post with the general public so that they can better understand the role of video resumes in the new career paradigm. I welcome your comments.
Corporate Warriors featured in an Associated Press Article
Don Straits , Thursday, August 27, 2009 at 2:22PM I was recently interviewed by the AP for an article on video resumes. On Monday the article was sent out over the AP Wire and is being picked up around the globe. Very Cool. The first publication to run it was the New York Times in their business section.

Expectations and Entitlements
Don Straits , Wednesday, July 22, 2009 at 7:33PM We are in the worst recession since the great depression, and what amazes me is that a day doesn't go by that an executive, who is seeking a new position, doesn't tell me about what he/ she believes he/she is entitled to because of their past experience. And then they tell me of their unrealistic expectations in terms of compensation and other benefits.
