    Make the video in the company's language, from 23 to choose from.

FAQ

Job application video questions

It is a short video that introduces you to a company and shows why you fit a specific role. yume makes it as a hand-drawn animated film from your LinkedIn profile, the job posting, the company's website and a photo, so you do not have to film or edit anything.

It can be used like one. Instead of reading a letter, the recruiter watches a film of about a minute that connects your experience to their job, told in the first person, with you drawn as the main character.

It gives the recruiter something a CV cannot: a clear story about you in about a minute, ending on what you could do for them. 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.

Yes. We turn your photos into a hand-drawn character who keeps your likeness and plays the lead. The colors and shapes of the film follow the company's own look, taken from its website.

No. A professional narrator tells your story in the first person, and you choose Morgan, Sarah, Daniel or Fernanda. It is not your voice or a copy of it. Nobody speaks on screen, and the words appear as captions.

It is the easiest way to start. If your profile cannot be read, you can type the essential details yourself instead.

You can type the company and the role and paste the job description instead. The video is always made for one specific role, never a general one.

No. The story comes only from your real experience, the job and the company's own website. We never invent achievements, employers, locations or numbers, and what you could bring to the role is told as a plan, not as something already done.

23 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Names and company names stay as they are.

Yes. Use their LinkedIn profile and photos instead of yours, and add the job they are applying for. We send the video to you so you can pass it on.

Yes, one free edit is included. You keep the same person, the same role and the same company. From your order page you can change the facts, photos, language or narrator.
