A man creates a video resumé to impress the streaming giant Netflix. His video is now going viral.
Adityajit Shergill came across a job opening in Netflix public relations team in Canada. Shergill, who is a communications and brand management professional, knew that his resumé needed to be exceptional, hence he decided to do something different to catch the recruiter’s attention.
According to The Message, Shergill dedicatedly spent six to seven hours watching the trailers of different Netflix shows and stitched together a video resumé. Using snippets from Netflix shows like Emily In Paris, Wednesday, Hey Pepsi and more, he created a one-and-a-half-minute video that is going viral on LinkedIn.
“The best way to apply for a job to Netflix? Make a trailer of yourself using Netflix trailers. Well that's what I thought,” he wrote while sharing the trailer.
He told The Message that the idea came to him while watching the Netflix YouTube channel.
“I sat down, poured myself a coffee, and just watched all of them,” he said. “Whenever I came across a sentence or a bit of dialogue I thought could contribute to the narrative, I made a note on an Excel sheet. I knew what I wanted to say—about why I selected Netflix, why I would be a good fit.”
