Hitting record without a plan often leads to rambling. A video resume script keeps your message clear, confident, and concise.

Recruiters expect short, polished clips — ideally 60–90 seconds — so preparation is key. A script doesn’t make you sound robotic; it helps you highlight the right points quickly.

And if you’re using a tool like Videolink’s Video Interview Recorder, you can re-record instantly until you’re happy with the result.
