Instructions for making and submitting your video:

1. Produce a cellphone/tablet self-made video, approximately 3 - 5 minutes in length, preferably from within your work environment so it can be seen in the background.
2. We suggest filming yourself from the waist or shoulders and up; you can film yourself, or have someone do it for you.
3. We request that you discuss the following items (you can have someone off-camera asking you to answer questions that will provide this content, or you can handle it as a monologue):
   • overview of the work you do
   • describe the education required to obtain the job you have
   • describe the career path you followed to attain your current position
   • tell the audience what you love about your job and/or any pros & cons they should be aware of
   • describe why students should pursue this career; why is it a good opportunity
4. Once the video has been produced, upload it to YouTube (Please NOTE: we cannot accept any videos that are not already loaded into YouTube)
5. Add "keywords" to your video on YouTube that are appropriate to your field
6. OPTION: YouTube provides the ability for you to upload logo's that will appear in the bottom right corner when the video is being watched; if you are an MTAM or Inforum member, we suggest doing a "save as" on the appropriate logo from the top-right column of this page and then adding it to YouTube so the organization logo will show in your video
7. Download the "Video Release Form" on this page; complete the form and have it signed by the appropriate person at your employer (we need their permission to use a video filmed in their workplace)
8. Submit a link to the video, and a digital copy of the signed form to STEMCareerVideo@gmail.com
