Q & A
​
WHY?
​
The most common methods you use to find professional opportunities are your resume, your LinkedIn profile and job applications.
​
All three are missing the most important part of you. You.
​
You are not text on a page, a series of posts or some answers in boxes. You are you. You were meant to be seen, not read.

​
WHY SHOULDN'T I JUST MAKE A YOUTUBE PAGE FOR MYSELF?
​
Short answer? There are no squirrels on this site.
Need more info? This is a professional video portfolio site. That's it. That's all it is. It was created with the singular intent of featuring the professional version of you.
​
Everything we do and will continue to do to enhance the functionality and value of this site is with you in mind. How can we help you find opportunities, present yourself professionally, and keep all of your professional outreach connected to the most genuine version of you?
​
YouTube is cool, and we have a hunch it will catch on. In the meantime, unless you're a happily employed squirrel, we think the professional you belongs here.

​
SHOULD I REGISTER IF I ALREADY HAVE A JOB?
​
While the site was initially conceived to help those actively searching for work, we want to create an environment where opportunities can find you. For that to occur, you need to be here ;-) You will be able to indicate on your profile whether you are "actively seeking" or "open to opportunities". The latter will likely be handy for freelancers, consultants, etc.

​
WILL BE CURRENT EMPLOYER SEE ME ON THIS SITE?
​
Since the site is about creating visibility, just like your LinkedIn profile, and other publicly accessible content, it is entirely possible you would be visible to those in your current workplace.

​
CAN I POST ANY VIDEOS ON THIS SITE?
​
Short answer, no.
The videos in your online portfolio will each address specific questions / prompts (you will be able to select from a list of prompts, including those which are specific to your industry, skills, etc.).
You will have one "open" video, where you will be able to create your own message (we will give you suggestions).
In all cases, any videos found to violate basic guidelines (included with your onboarding information) of decency, safety and professionalism, will be removed. This is a professional community. We will hold each other to that standard.

​
CAN I POST VIDEOS LONGER THAN 1-MINUTE?
​
No. Your portfolio will be comprised of up to 10 videos, each of which will be no longer than 1-minute in length. We do this for a couple of reasons. First, as you are aware, people are busy and have a limited attention span. This is no less true for recruiters and employers. We want them to want to view your videos. Keeping them to 60 seconds is aligned with that goal. Also, there is a powerful art to being able to answer a question succinctly. This will help you practice producing high quality responses which will hopefully help you once you move on to live interviews.

​
IF I AM AN ACTOR OR CONTENT CREATOR, CAN I POST EXISTING VIDEOS?
​
Yes. When you complete your registration, you will receive an invitation which will include some information about your skills, profession, industry, etc. If you are an actor, athlete, content creator, etc, your video prompts will be tailored to you. But each of your videos still must be 1-minute or less.

​
CAN I POST MORE OR LESS THAN 10 VIDEOS?
​
Your portfolio may contain less than, but no more (at this time) than 10, 1-minute videos.
