The Video Resume That Gets You Hired in 2026

In this episode of The Job Search Podcast, Lucas and Luna discuss the growing trend of video resumes and how to actually pull one off without cringing. They break down a specific case: a mid-career product manager who landed a role at HubSpot after sending a 90-second Loom video instead of a cover letter. Lucas explains why video works for certain roles (sales, marketing, product) and why it backfires for others (accounting, legal). They cover the three essential elements: a tight script, good lighting, and a clear call to action. Luna shares a counter-example where a poorly-shot video hurt a candidate's chances. The episode also includes a natural mid-show mention of how listeners can support the ad-free mission at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo.
