On Joblinks, your presentation video is your first handshake. In three minutes, you can turn a simple profile into a real professional meeting — as long as you know what to say, and when to say it.
That’s the whole point of this series. We broke down the perfect video minute by minute, second by second, with simple methods, fill-in-the-blank templates and dozens of phrasings to adapt to your profile. Whether you’re a recent graduate, an experienced professional or in the middle of a career change, you’ll find what you need to prepare a presentation that sounds like you.
Here are the four parts of the guide, to read in order for a natural progression.
Part 1 — The three-minute rule
The fundamentals: how to structure your video.
Before diving into the details, you need the big picture. This first article sets the golden rule: a three-minute video, split into three one-minute highlights. You’ll discover why three minutes is the ideal length, how that constraint works in your favour, and which simple technical reflexes (lighting, sound, framing) make all the difference, without professional gear.
Read it to: understand the overall logic before diving into the script.
Part 2 — What to say in the first 60 seconds
The hook: grab attention and make people want to listen.
It all plays out from the very start. This second article zooms in on the first minute and splits it into four micro-moments: the ten-second hook, your value proposition, what you’re looking for, then the transition to what’s next. You’ll find plenty of phrasings depending on your style — direct, through passion, through a question, through a number — and a ready-to-fill canvas.
Read it to: nail your opening and avoid the classic “hi, um… so…”.
Part 3 — The second minute, where you prove yourself
The proof: turn an interesting candidate into one people want to meet. This third article teaches you to tell a concrete story using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), to prove your qualities instead of just listing them. With examples tailored to every profile — analytical, relational, hands-on, career-changer, beginner — and tips for choosing the right story.
Read it to: learn to demonstrate your value with an example that sticks.
Part 4 — The third minute, the one that makes them want to call you back
The conclusion: turn interest into action.
A great video deserves a great ending. This last article closes the loop: sum up who you are, say what you’re looking for with conviction, make a clear call to action, and end warmly. You’ll also learn to find the right tone — neither lukewarm nor pushy — and to avoid the classic closing pitfalls.
Read it to: finish strong and make the recruiter want to call you back.
Read the four parts in order, prepare your outline, rehearse it out loud, then go for it. Your next great professional opportunity might just start with these three minutes.
