Video Resume FAQ
JOBMA offers a powerful job search engine that allows Job Seekers to interact with Employers in a way not possible through existing job search sites. With over ten years of experience in the job sourcing industry, JOBMA combines our knowledge into an online experience aimed to ease the process and costs associated with getting a job and hiring an employee. Having experience with many people in need of employment or looking for a change, we understand that Job Seekers need to be more than just a resume. JOBMA gives Job Seekers a high level of personal branding by combining their traditional resume with a personalized Video Resume and social media integration. This gives Employers an opportunity to "meet" candidates before bringing them in for an interview, and gives Job Seekers a competitive advantage in a flooded marketplace.
JOBMA allows Job Seekers to enrich their ability to reach Employers in a unique and meaningful fashion. In our opinion differentiation is the key to getting an Employer's attention, and therefore getting a job. Through Video Resumes, JOBMA offers the ability for Job Seekers to present themselves directly to Employers, sharing their personality and experience in a short well thought out video pitch. JOBMA streamlines the hiring process for Employers by eliminating the stress, guess work, and error from filing through resumes, creating a better company fit by allowing Employers to 'meet' job candidates before the interview. JOBMA creates flexibility with video interview capabilities and gives Employers confidence in always making the best hire.
The best part about JOBMA is that it costs Job Seekers absolutely nothing! JOBMA hosts a Job Seeker's profile, including resumes and Video Resumes, for free.

Yes, to take advantage of the great opportunities available on JOBMA, you are required to register for a Video Resume profile. However, registration takes very little time and will give you the opportunity to apply for jobs instantly when you find the right match. Simply click "JOIN FOR FREE" located on the top banner of the JOBMA home screen. Once you start, JOBMA will guide you through the rest of your registration and into your video profile creation.
Although you are not required to, we highly recommend that you do upload your resume to give Employers a more complete look at your skills and work history. Your profile sets the stage, your video pitch tells the story, and your resume acts as an appendix filled with more detailed information.
Yes, your Video Resume is what sets you apart from other job applicants. On other job websites, Employers have to filter through hundreds of written resumes. On JOBMA, your Video Resume gives you the opportunity to make a unique first impression with Employers, putting you on the right path to landing a job.
For only $5 per month, Job Seekers that purchase a Premium JOBMA account can upload two additional (three total) Video Resumes.
1. Treat your Video Resume like an interview. You should dress appropriately, be well groomed and of course be prepared. Choose your location wisely to ensure good lighting and a background that looks clean, neat, and professional. Bedrooms and coffee shops typically don't make for the best locations to create a Video Resume. 2. Prepare your Video Resume content in advance. It's better to have a script than to just turn on the camera and try to 'wing it'. Try to use your Video Resume script as a general guideline rather than reading directly from it.
Fill out your JOBMA video profile completely and honestly. Also, be sure to utilize keywords associated with your top skills, because Employers will use these to search for resumes and Video Resumes that match the job positions they are trying to fill.
