Comment on Ask HN: I got laid off and I want to showcase my skills, any suggestion?parent

Comments

The audience for such content is incredibly tiny, and those that watch it are not hiring people.

People have incredibly short attention spans these days. If your video isn't 20 second shorts with large text and jump cuts you will lose the viewer.

Video is a terrible medium in general.

You're not Tsoding/T3/Primeagen and you're better off spending your time elsewhere. Note-- their audiences are primarily young junior developers or developers to be.

Along these lines I was thinking why in the world would you be making videos for recruiters?

And (not criticism) why is how React works a showcase of your skill?
