Former TV Reporter and 4th Avenue Media Founder Lucas Mack Setting Job Seekers Apart BELLEVUE, Wash.--(Business Wire)-- With the unemployment rate on the rise, job seekers are getting an edge with 4th Avenue Media, who's producing feature Video Resumes. With years of news reporting experience, 4th Avenue Media's founder Lucas Mack knows how to showcase the best of every person he interviews. Employers can now get a link to a video resume uploaded online through email. The videos allow potential employers a chance to get a sense of the potential employee's look, personality, and ability to speak. 4th Avenue Media client Robin Ernst says, "The video resume has become my secret weapon. One company I interviewed with called to say I hadn't made it to the second round. I asked if I could send them a link of my video resume.I sent it and by close of business that very day, the senior hiring manager called me and said they would like me to continue on to the second round of interviews." 80% of screening happens with the resume during the first 10 to 30 seconds. 4th Avenue Media also specializes in feature videos for the business looking to save money in advertising, while setting themselves apart from their competition.
