Prevview.com has declared an official Visumé War in Singapore. We call upon

to differentiate yourselves – it’s talent vs talent, Visumé vs Visumé!
Unlike any other video showdown, this war appeals to every jobseeker’s most
basic struggles. That is, to stand out from the sea of jobseekers with similar talents
and credentials and, to prevent themselves from being lost under a stack of paper
resumes.
Entry is simple and the prizes, amazing. Whether you are looking to get your hands
on a beautiful iPad2 or a job position [or both!] with our participating partners, this is
competition for you.
The power to conquer is in your hands!
All you need to do is put together a Visume – what we at Prevview call Video
Resumes – that will show and tell us why you would make a great employee.
You can sing, dance, rap, produce a movie or even sell a brick. Be it creative or
professional, do it your way and boldly express your best self.
50 prizes to be won!**
43 participants from Category A and Category B who have received the highest
People's Choice scores will receive $10,000 worth of attractive prizes. Seven out of
all the participants the Special Category will be placed in amazing job positions at
the participating company of their choice [Winners are subjected to the discretion of
our participating partner].

5) Privacy Settings
A) All profiles are viewable only by registered Employers. What’s more, our technology ensures that Employers will not be able to save your video on their computers.
