POINTERS
How to Record a Video
The functionalities on inquireaboutme will enable you to create an 'About Me' video without having to do so locally. For individuals who prefer to record an 'About Me' video live, a webcam will appear while logged on inquireaboutme, and you will be prompted to record. The same applies for the recipient of a 'Video Reference' request.
If decided to create a video locally and then upload, there are several methods. To create and record a reference video or about me video, most desktop and laptop computers are already equipped with a web camera that allows you to do so. To record a video, you can use one of many free programs that allows you to record and save videos to your desk/lap top, then upload to your i.am page. While a desktop computer provides a more stable foundation, a laptop can easily be fixed on a solid platform to make a video recording.
Video Requests
If created locally within your personal work environment, the accepted formats to upload videos to your i.am page are: .m4v, .mpg, and .wmv. These are the formats needed to upload an ‘About Me’ video, 'Reference' video, or ‘Accolade’ video.
Specialty/Customized Videos
Animation and whiteboard videos should be saved in the following formats: .m4v, .mpg, and .wmv. These are considered professional videos that are customized.
Regardless of the type of video, simply browse to the localized area on your hard drive, and upload (or drag and drop) to the respective area.
Creating the Ideal Recording Environment
For 'About Me' or 'Reference' videos, the area that is viewed in the web camera live space should be clean and an office background is ideal. The area should be well-lit, with no additional movement in the background, or sound (other than your voice). Your attire should be professional, as though you’re conducting an interview.
Practice before recording, and only upload a solid presentation, with no breaks in between conversation. Your video should be short, with the ideal recording time being 30 seconds to 1 minute. Eye contact should remain entirely on the web camera, reading from notes is not ideal, and speaking fluently (no pauses) makes your statement look more genuine.
To end your video, have your hand and mouse ready to stop recording, eliminating the need to look away from the web camera. Remember, the goal is to present yourself in the best professional manner possible.
'Accolade' videos are considered in the moment, and should be that of a monumental event, that's considered to be an achievement.

What to Say (Reference for Student Prospect) Example
Hello,
I’m Andy Newman, Guidance Counselor for Parks Heights Senior High School in Charlotte, NC, and it is my pleasure to recommend Ashley Neil for admission to your undergraduate program.
I have witnessed this studious, bright young woman develop both academically and personally into a mature individual, who is dedicated to succeeding in life. Her grades have been above average for 3 years in all of her courses, and as a result, she’s also an honor roll and honor society student. Her academic accomplishments are stellar, and she’s in the top 3 of her graduating class.
Ashley is also an active participant in extra-curriculum activities such as the Science Club, Student Council, Latin Club, and a captain of the Cheerleader squad. Ashley’s teachers describe her as an exceptional, perceptive, and insightful student, who has incredible focus.
Ashley plans to study Computer Science, and she has excelled in understanding different computer programming languages. She has put an abundance of hours towards achieving her ultimate goal, to become a Computer Programmer. Last summer, Ashely was one of three students nationally who received an internship with Nortel. She was so impressive, that the company executives offered her an extended internship via satellite for the next 4 years, while she attends college.
It is rare to meet a student like Ashley, and she has my enthusiastic recommendation. She is intelligent, strong willed, and a person who has a clear sense of direction and purpose. I am confident she will bring the same intensity to the university of her choice, and will be a top achiever in her collegiate courses.
Ashley’s future is bright, and I am excited to see how far her educational and professional journey will take her.

Hello, I am Randall Cunningham, Football coach at Citadel High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is my privilege to offer a recommendation and reference for Roger Daniel.
Roger played quarterback for Citadel High School from his sophomore year until his junior year, and he is projected to start as quarterback his senior year. Roger has already set numerous state and national records, is 1st team All-Conference, and leads the State (amongst other quarterbacks) in throwing yardage and completions.
While Roger has great athletic stats, it’s his academic achievements and his leadership skills that led to my decision in making him the team captain in his junior year. Roger is very well mannered, a leader, and always finds something positive in every situation.
I recommend Roger to any undergraduate program, as an outstanding scholar and student athlete. I’m sure everything I stated, will be acknowledged quickly for those he interacts with in his collegiate years.

Example 2
Hello, Greetings, I am Lisa Freeland, and I have to tell you about my experience at The Bluefin Bistro in Long Beach, California. It is by far, the best seafood restaurant I have found in this area. My family and I went to The Bluefin Bistro, after seeing it’s positive blog reviews and reference videos on inquireaboutme.com, and decided to try it for ourselves. We made reservations at the last minute (3 hours before), but they were still able to accommodate us. We were seated immediately, and our waiter introduced himself and referred to us by our last name. Since it was our first time there, we asked our waiter for suggestions, and he was very knowledgeable on the menu items. He even did a great job suggesting food for our 7 and 9 year old kids. Our food came out in less than 20 minutes, and everything was awesome!!!! Not to mention, having a window seat view of the ocean, which added to the ambiance. Nothing was overly priced, and we even had leftovers to take home. My family and I will certainly be back, and if you get a chance to visit The Bluefin Bistro, make sure to try the Lemon Red Snapper with Herbed Butter. It is to die for!!!!!

What to Say (Reference for University/Student speaking on the behalf of a University Department) Example 2
I am Jamie Newman, a junior student here at MYU, History Department. I’m pursuing my Bachelors of Arts degree in History, and glad I made the choice to attend MYU. The history professors here at MYU are hands on, and have given me plenty of insight in having a career as a Curator. One of the classes provided the opportunity for me to study abroad in Egypt, where I met other college students, who are also seeking the same degree. The friendships I established in Egypt will last a lifetime. I never thought I’d be in a position, to travel to other countries. The History department at MYU has changed my life forever. You can truly tell that the professors want me to be successful in my efforts, and want me to reach my goal of being a Curator.

What to Say (Reference for Organization Volunteer/Employee speaking on the behalf of an Organization) Example
I am Jason Whitlock, volunteer for ‘The Z Foundation’. I decided to be a volunteer after receiving services from ‘The Z Foundation’, when my daughter was receiving treatment for cancer outside an area where my wife and I resided.
If not for ‘The Z Foundation’, we would not have been able to afford the expenses related to our daughter’s care. Yet alone, room and board for my wife and I to accompany our daughter to her doctor and treatment visits. It’s because of ‘The Z Foundation’ that my daughter survived the ordeal, and is now cancer free, and we were able to stay with her every step of the way.
The Z Foundation made a big difference in my life. By volunteering, I feel I’m paying it forward to other families who too experience similar situations. I aim to ensure that families in need have the same positive interactions as I did, and it’s self rewarding knowing I played a role in assisting with their needs.

What to Say (Reference for Organization/Recipient speaking on the behalf of an Organization) Example
Hello, I am Marcus Randall, and ‘The Z Foundation’ assisted my family and me by providing a place to stay, food to eat, and a helping hand in general while our infant son received cancer treatment. When my wife and I first learned of our child had cancer, it was devastating. I left my job of 15 years to care for our baby around the clock. You can’t prepare for something like this, and luckily, ‘The Z Foundation’ came to our rescue. Without them, we would not have been able to afford the care for our child, yet alone, accompany our son while receiving care outside the state we live in. Because of ‘The Z Foundation’, we were able to eliminate most of the financial pressure as we sought treatment for our son, and our son is getting better each day. Thank God for ‘The Z Foundation’, we are forever grateful.
