How to send Video Link Using Loom and Google Drive
How to Create a Professional Video Link for Job Interviews
Introduction to Video Applications
- The speaker introduces the concept of sending a video explaining why one is a good fit for a virtual assistant role during job interviews.
- Emphasizes the importance of not using informal platforms like TikTok or WhatsApp for professional video submissions.
Tools Needed: Loom and Google Drive
- The speaker will demonstrate how to use Loom and Google Drive to create and share video links, highlighting that this can be done easily from a phone.
- Instructions begin with accessing Loom, which can be downloaded from app stores.
Recording with Loom
- Users are guided to ensure they are on the camera section in Loom before starting their recording.
- Suggested video length is 2-3 minutes unless specified otherwise by the client; users should review their recordings before finalizing.
Saving and Sharing Your Video
- After recording, users should title their video appropriately (e.g., "Application for EA Position") and adjust privacy settings to "Anyone with the link can view."
- Once settings are adjusted, users can copy the link to share it with clients.
Using Google Drive as an Alternative
- If opting for Google Drive instead of Loom, users should record their videos directly through their device's camera.
- After uploading the video to Google Drive, it's important to rename it accurately and manage access settings so anyone with the link can view it.
Final Steps Before Submission
- Users must test the shared link by sending it to someone else first, ensuring accessibility before including it in job applications.
- The speaker concludes by reiterating that using these tools demonstrates confidence and tech-savviness, essential traits for remote work.
