Let's say there is a website with hundreds of thousands of great job opportunities posted to the site.

The employers who post on this site ask every candidate to create a 2 minute video "elevator pitch" of themselves, giving you the opportunity "sell yourself" and create an emotional connection with the people who are making the decisions to interview you.

You could use the same video over and over or switch it up as necessary.

Would you be willing to submit a video elevator pitch to the employer?

And if your answer is "no" please share why you would be opposed.

Depends on the job, but why not? As a sales person you only have a few moments to convince someone to do business with you, and as a small business owner you are a sales person, so it is something I have done without the video, so it would be okay with me.
