Debate: Photos on your C.V... yay or nay? 📸

📷 PROS: A picture speaks a thousand words, so relevant images can illustrate & demonstrate your abilities. An employer can visualise you in the role. Break up the text & make your C.V stand out. Convey your personal brand. Show you as a human.

📷 CONS: May create unconscious bias, on age, appearance etc. Lower-quality images, or perceived poor pictures, may look unprofessional. Email filters may block them or they mess with formatting.

Thoughts?
