Vault’s March Big Break Challenge is a video resume contest to help job applicants put their name out there in a big way. The five winners of this contest will have their video and written resumes sent directly to Vault’s insider network of hiring decision makers. So get your cameras and start filming, because the deadline is coming up on April 1st!
