Job application video
Show them why you are the one for this job.
A job application video from yume is a one-minute film that shows a company why you fit one specific role. You share your LinkedIn profile, the job posting link and a photo, and we connect your real experience to what the job needs. It is ready in about 15 minutes, in any of 23 languages.
Made with their photos. A personal introduction
What happens in your job application video
It works like a short documentary with one point to make: this person was made for this job. A narrator guides the viewer through your story in under a minute.
It starts with their need
The video opens on what the company is looking for, so the recruiter feels the gap before they meet you.
Your path, through their eyes
Your real experience is told in the light of this role, ending on the proof that matters most for it.
You, speaking to them
It closes with you facing the camera in a setting styled for the company, then your name, the role and their name.
It ends with your name on their screen
The job application video closes on a card with your name, the role and the company. Type yours to see it.

Job application video questions
What is a job application video?
It is a short video that introduces you to a company and shows why you fit a specific role. yume makes it for you from your LinkedIn profile, the job posting and a photo, so you do not have to film or edit anything.
Is it a video cover letter?
It can be used like one. Instead of a letter, the recruiter watches a one-minute film that connects your experience to their job, with you on screen.
Is making a video for a job application worth it?
It gives the recruiter something a CV cannot: your face, your voice and a clear story in one minute. Making a video for a job application yourself usually means filming, scripting and editing. With yume you share your profile and the job, and the video is made for you.
Do I need a LinkedIn profile?
It is the easiest way to start. If your profile cannot be read, you can type the essential details yourself instead.
What if the job posting link does not work?
You can add the role and company details by hand. The video is always made for one specific role, never a general one.
Will it make up achievements?
No. The story comes only from your real experience and the job itself. We never invent achievements, employers, locations or numbers.
Which languages can I choose?
23 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Names and company names stay as they are.
Can I make one for someone else?
Yes. Choose another adult in the form and add their details. We send the video to you so you can pass it on.
Can I change it after it is made?
Yes, one free edit is included. You keep the same person and the same role, and you can ask for other changes from your order page.
