How to write a video editor resume

Craft a resume summary statement

A resume summary is your opening statement that highlights your strongest skills and top accomplishments. It is your chance to quickly let recruiters know who you are professionally - and why they should hire you for the video editor role.

Step 1: Start with your professional title, or the one you aspire to.

Step 2: Detail your years of experience in video editor-related roles and your industry experience.

Step 3: What are your biggest professional wins? Here is your opportunity to highlight your strongest accomplishments by placing them at the start of your resume.

Step 4: Don't forget, your goal is to summarize your experience. Keep it short and sweet, so it's easy for recruiters to quickly understand why you're a great hire.

These tips will help you demonstrate why you are the perfect fit for the video editor position.

Hi, I'm Zippi, your job search robot. Let me write a first draft of your summary statement.

List the right project manager skills

Use your Skills section to show you have the knowledge and technical ability to do the job. Here is how to make the most of your skills section and make sure you have the right keywords:

  1. Look to the job listing. You often need to include the exact keywords from the job description. Take note of the skills listed for the job.
  2. Put all relevant hard and soft skills in your skills section.
  3. Be specific. If you are too broad, you may not be giving the best picture of your skills and leave the hiring manager uncertain of your abilities.
  4. Be up to date. Software names change and companies merge. Don't look out of touch by being careless.
  5. Be accurate. Spelling and even upper or lowercase can dramatically change meanings. Make sure you are correctly listing your skills.
These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some video editor interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on a video editor resume:

  • Video Content
  • Motion Graphics
  • Video Production
  • YouTube
  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Edit Video
  • Color Correction
  • Adobe Creative Suite
  • Media Management
  • Graphic Design
  • Video Projects
  • Photography
  • Promotional Videos
  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • Sound Design
  • B-Roll
  • Digital Video
  • Mac
  • DVD
  • Post-Production Process
  • Video Shoots
  • Twitter
  • Cinema
  • Music Videos
  • Adobe Audition
  • DSLR
  • News Stories
  • Sound Effects

How to structure your work experience

A work experience section is a vital part of your resume because it shows you have the experience to succeed in your next job.

  1. Put your most recent experience first. Prospective employers care about your most recent accomplishments the most.
  2. Put the job title, company name, city, and state on the left. Align dates in month and year format on the right-hand side.
  3. Include only recent, relevant jobs. This means if you're a fairly experienced worker, you might need to leave off that first internship or other positions in favor of highlighting more pertinent positions.

How to write video editor experience bullet points

Your resume is your chance to show your biggest accomplishments. Don't just list your job responsibilities, instead take the opportunity to show why you're really good at what you do. Here is how you do that:

  • Start with strong action verbs like managed, spearheaded, created, etc. Your goal is to show what you did and verbs will help demonstrate your contributions.
  • Use numbers to quantify your achievements. Did you save time with a new report? Increase revenue? How large was the team you managed?
  • Keep it concise. You're highlighting your achievements. Consider if all details you are sharing are relevant, or can be written more efficiently.

Here are effective examples from video editor resumes:

Add an education section to your resume

The education section should display your highest degree first.

Place your education section appropriately on your resume. If you graduated over 5 years ago, this section should be at the bottom of your resume. If you just graduated and lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.

If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education. If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.

Here are some examples of good education entries for resumes:

Bachelor's Degree In Graphic Design

The Art Institute of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA

2007 - 2010

Highlight your video editor certifications on your resume

If you have any additional certifications or education-like achievements, add them to the education section.

Start simple. Include the full name of the certification. It's also good to mention the organization that issued the certification. Next, specify when you obtained the certification.

If you have any of these certifications, be sure to include them on your video editor resume:

  1. Apple Certified Pro- Final Cut Pro X
  2. Adobe Certified Associate (ACA)
  3. Digital Video Engineering Professional (DVEP)
  4. Apple Certified Associate - Final Cut Pro X
  5. Avid Certified Operator: Avid VENUE
