One contest winner, Joseph Kim, a student at Penn State University, hopes his video

resume can land him his dream job as a technology consultant after graduation. “It’s an

innovative way to let people know what kind of person I actually am, not just who I am

on paper,” said Kim.

The other winners of Vault’s Video Resume Makeover Contest are Hannah Hall, a retail

store manager for a Fortune 500 company; Nicole McFarland, a real estate student; and

Ron Studley, a management consultant.

All four winners started off the morning of October 23rd with a head-to-toe makeover at

NYC’s famous Edris Salon to ensure they looked their professional best. After a

consultation with Vault’s resume experts, they were brought into Vault’s studios to film
