Have you heard about video resumes?

One of my coworkers mentioned that video resumes are becoming a thing—and I was honestly shocked. It feels so Legally Blonde to me. What do you think? Would you ever create a video resume?

It’s an interesting concept, however, it could introduce bias into the hiring process into a number of ways.

Never ever.
Nor would I use or look at them. Opens companies up to potential bias issues. Same reason pictures don't belong on resumes.

I've read an article on them but I have never seen a company use them.
Personally, no I wouldn't create a video resume. It opens up to a lot of bias. There is also a lot I feel like would need to be contained. I only have a page and half currently resume but its a lot of information and bullet points to hit. It would be easier for someone to just read it.
