Resume Roast for Video Editors

Video Editor resumes get skipped in favor of the reel, so the resume's job is to deliver the reel link and the context the reel cannot show: turnaround times, volume, formats, and who the work was for. Proficient in Premiere is assumed, like a driver listing steering. Cut 150 videos a year for a brand channel averaging 80 thousand views: context like that makes the reel land harder.

What Gabe checks first on a Video Editor resume

Reel link first, under two minutes, strongest 10 seconds at the front. Editors are judged exactly the way they cut.
State volume and turnaround, like 12 finished videos a month with 48-hour turnarounds on social cuts. Speed at quality is the working editor's stat.
Name formats and outcomes, like YouTube long-form averaging 6-minute watch time, or ad cuts that beat control in testing. Distribution context turns editing into results.

Worth knowing

Recruiters spend about 7 seconds on a first resume scan. (Ladders eye-tracking study)
