    You'd think if you were going to sell "Improve your job chances with a video CV" services, you'd actually be able to sell it...

    He's probably trembling with the burst of views he's getting from here.

    I've watched a couple of them now and they're really quite cringey. I'm not sure if it's a new Irish version of the office or a real business.

    Fair ****s to the guy.
    Not going to win any awards but maybe its his first one, maybe his next one will be better.
    Don't see the need to slag someone off for standing up and giving it a go.

    I think that's the same guy who used to run online dvd rentals & pet factory.

    While I agree with your sentiment, if you're portraying yourself as an expert in your field, you should at least come across as professional.

    It's not his first one, take a look at the channel.

    Saying it would normally cost 600 or 700 but they're doing it for 50.
    Hmmm. If the videos are anything like the one he made himself I really don't think so.
    Also I can't imagine too many people hiring being prepared to watch or even open a 4 minute video sent to them.
    Stick to the CVs and Cover letter I reckon.
