Record a video cover letter

A video cover letter is for one job. Use it to say why that role.

A video cover letter connects your introduction to one job: why this role, and why now. A video resume introduces you in general and can travel with more than one application.

Read the posting before you record. Speak to the work they described, and one relevant thing you have done. A recording aimed at that role gives the viewer more than a second general introduction.

A video cover letter is only on that application. It does not become a public introduction the way a video resume can. Learn more about the format on Video Cover Letter. Recording problems are covered in Video recording.
