Video CVLaajuus (1 cr)

Learning objectives

Upon successful completion of the course, the students are able to:
Make a video CV to be able to effectively evaluate their presentation skills and nonverbal behaviour. A video CV (video résumé) is presentation of oneself in video format. It is meant to be more free-form than a written CV in that the language should not be overly scripted and the style of speaking should be relaxed and rather informal.

Contents

Students study the various sources about how to build and enhance a useful professional video CV on their own. The instructions and assessment criteria will contribute to guiding the study and the learning task. The instructor will assess the final outcome.
