HOW TO CREATE YOUR NYSC VIDEO AND SEND (Video Length: Not More than 20seconds)
Before starting the recording, make sure the phone/ tablet video is set to low quality and not high quality if not, go to your phone video settings and set it to low quality and after then start recording.
Why low video quality is because video must not be more than 14mb (20seconds) because it will be easy to send on Whatsapp, or Email thereby reducing or Avoiding Internet issues. Video must not exceed 14mb but if it exceeds not to worry if you have fast internet no problems.
These are the following steps on How to create a standard VideoCV and please adhere strictly to the rules;
· Use good Smart Phones and tablets.
· While capturing, hold the phone in a landscape format not portrait format and capture for 20seconds only. 1 minute extra will be rejected so be very cautious.
· Speak very loud and clear so that your voice can be heard in your 20 seconds video recording.
Video Procedure1:
· Start by greeting/intro, say either goodday, Hello, hi. My name is NaijaEssentials or Peter Akpos.
· Then you will explain why you are the preferred candidate. In three (3) very short sentences.
· Before your 20seconds runs out, close either with THANK YOU / THANK YOU FOR WATCHING / THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. DO NOT SAY THANKS
· If you want a video example sent to you, as a guide, ask us via our whatsapp number as displayed below.
Tips: Write down your 20 seconds speech on a paper or laptop to memorize it before recording starts.
DO NOT READ FROM THE PAPER OR MEMORIZE OR CRAM YOUR SPEECH, DO NOT LOOK UP OR DOWN, LOOKS STRAIGHT AT THE CAMERA.
For Example,
o Hello my name is peter odibo.
o I am a graduate of Civil Engineering; my passion is design and maintenance.
o I have attended some professional training in class room best practices, to sharpen my engineering knowledge.
o I have also worked at an insurance company maintenance department.
o I will be an immense addition to your team.
o Thank you for your consideration.
Note: If you want to copy this, make sure you fill in all your profession, where you have worked not as written above. Make sure you don’t just copy, in fact don’t copy at all. Because you will be rejected if your format is the same.
