To give a yume career film as a gift, buy the film yourself, choose Someone else in the details form and provide the recipient's career information and photo. yume sends the finished film to you, ready to review and give through its watch link or play in person. The recipient can watch and download it without an account.
What should I prepare for a yume career film gift?
Prepare a LinkedIn profile link and a clear photo of the adult the film will feature. Check that you can use their image and story for this gift, and choose a language they understand. The career film preparation checklist explains the details and photo review.
Choose Trailer of Your Life for a career celebration with the energy of a movie trailer, or Career Portrait for a calmer, narrated account of someone's working life. yume builds the film from their profile and photos, so the recipient does not have to record a speech and you do not have to assemble the scenes. Watch the example on the product page to decide which treatment they would enjoy.
How do I order a yume career film about someone else?
Order the career film as the buyer, then fill in the form for the person receiving the gift:
- Choose the film and complete checkout using your email. The purchase stays with you. If you return through sign-in, use the buyer's email.
- Select Someone else in the details form. These career films are for a person aged 18 or over. The form confirms that you own the video and their details stay with this order.
- Add their LinkedIn profile and review the career details. Correct an old job title or a missing milestone before submitting. If the profile cannot supply enough information, enter the essentials requested by the form.
- Review the proposed photo or upload a suitable one, and choose the language. Use any optional questions or notes to add accurate context for the occasion. Then submit the completed details to start the film.
For a promotion gift, for example, check whether the recipient's profile already shows the new role. If it does not, supply the correct title in the career details instead of assuming the film will know about the promotion.
How do I give the finished yume career film to the recipient?
Watch the finished film yourself first, then send the recipient its watch link or play the film for them in person. Check names and career facts before the handover. The yume FAQ explains the included edit and how to get help if the video does not match the details you supplied.
Share the film's watch link, and keep your order access and sign-in links to yourself. The watch link is unlisted: anyone who has it can watch and download without signing in, including someone it is forwarded to. Let the recipient decide about a public post or wider screening.
For a party, download the film and test playback on the device you will use. For a retirement celebration, the retirement-video guide helps plan the story and screening. A short personal note can explain the milestone you wanted to celebrate. If you are still deciding whether a career film suits the person, the guide to gifts for someone who already has everything helps compare it with other kinds of gift.
For a promotion specifically, compare personalized video gifts for a promotion to decide between a career film, colleagues’ messages and other formats.
If you are thanking someone who guided your career, compare thank-you gifts for a mentor to decide whether a film, personal letter or shared experience suits them.
