The best and most-viewed YouTube videos for job seekers who hate looking for work and want to improve.

50 Uber Popular Job Search Videos You Need To See

If you're like me, you use YouTube almost as much as you use Google to find information. Sometimes, you just want to see how it's done instead of reading a step by step guide, right?

Or maybe you're looking for the answer to a question, and Google sends you to a video on topic. Then you get distracted by the similar videos that YouTube suggests you watch next, because YouTube is pretty good at that kind of thing. And those might include a related classic movie clip or two…

In the interest of saving you a lot of distraction time and helping your job search along the way, I compiled this list of the most popular job search-related videos on YouTube.

It's all here:

  • Expert job search tips and advice on the topics most job seekers need help on
  • “How to” clips from job boards and other services on how to get best results
  • The funny stuff, including classic movie/tv clips, comedy sketches, pranks, ad parodies and cartoons
  • Even someone's amazing video resume

Some of these clips are borderline NSFW, mostly for language, and I've added a mention in their titles about that.

Enjoy!
