For a Yume career film, start with a LinkedIn profile, one usable photo of the adult the film is about and your chosen language. Job Application also needs the specific job target. Review the details and proposed profile photo in the form; when the link cannot supply the essentials, the form asks for the missing information.
What should you check in the career details?
Check that the profile belongs to the intended person and that their name, employment history and other career details are accurate. Correct missing or misleading information before submitting the form. A publicly visible profile can still contain an old title or omit a milestone that matters to the film.
For Job Application, supply the link to the specific role and review the target details. If the posting cannot provide the essentials, enter the requested company, role and description. A general aspiration such as “a management job” does not identify a specific application target.
Choose the language offered by the template that suits the audience. Extra context and personal questions are optional. For a retirement gift, a short note about a defining contribution or the occasion can be more useful than a long list of generic compliments.
What photo should you provide for a career film?
Provide a usable photo of the intended adult with a clearly visible face. Review the photo proposed from the profile and replace it if necessary. Additional photos are optional within the selected template's allowance; a large archive is not required.
Use an image that actually depicts the person rather than an edited composite or a photograph where their identity is unclear. Check that you can appropriately use the photo for this purpose. Photo selection is particularly important when preparing a retirement video.
What should you review before starting the career film?
Review the person, template, language and supplied facts together before submitting the details. For Job Application, check the job target as well. Check the current purchase and editing details in the Yume FAQ before ordering.
If the film is a gift, follow the career-film gift guide and consider how the recipient wants their story presented. The retirement-video guide and personal gift guide can help you decide whether the format fits the occasion.
