Ok I understand that you want to stand out when looking for a job and therefore you have put a picture of yourself on your resume. This is not something I would do because I am not super attractive so no real benefit there and I think it is really awkward for anyone hiring. Are they calling because of the picture or in spite of? Well at least I understand, I think, why the picture is applied but why are you choosing a picture that is ridiculous? You and your cat, you throwing out gang signs drinking with your friends, you in a prom dress, you wearing bedazzled Elvis style sunglasses? Why not you doing some sort of activity related to the job which you are applying or just you normally? I mean I would discourage any picture but seriously why are you picking these pictures?

I disagree, I think you're hot!
ReplyDeleteWhile looks should not discourage a person from applying for a job, I can appreciate the complication a photo presents. I am having images of old Law and Order episodes...a large stack of files with mug shots attached...I saw no photos on resumes. And I agree with Jack, you are toasty, and by association, so am I!
