So in two days I've read two instances of traditional media hiring YouTube personalities for their shows/videos. CNet's reporting that Barenaked Ladies called up several YouTubers to be in the video for its latest single "Sound of Your Voice," and according to my print issue of TV Guide, Madtv hired Lisa Donovan, known on YouTube as LisaNova, after a friend sent the casting director one of her videos. Her first episode aired Saturday.
This reminded me of the geographic slant on the resume we saw in class where all the candidate's jobs were represented by pinpoints on an interactive map. Those of us needing to create user instruction sessions for job applications could put them on YouTube (I imagine they'd be more interesting than some of the other content on the site). It could make you stand out among the other candidates. If it's well executed & funny, it may get you more offers, perhaps from Hollywood. Break a leg!
