I have a pic on mine. I’m a creative so I feel it’s more common for us. I haven’t had it be an issue. I’m not in a bikini or anything. It’s just my head. I’ve never had anyone say anything bad or good about it so I see it as ok. Do you!

How I’ve had it explained to me is: it will not help you but it could hurt you.

Some places don’t like them, other places don’t care. They’ll find you on the internet anyway.

Here for it! We encourage our candidates to be creative. I’ve gotten headshots on resumes, visual resumes, resume graphs, etc. the creativity is always a plus.

All I am saying is if your personal branding requires you to have a picture of yourself as the hero, you might as well be typing in TNR because your personality is nothing but shallow.

Everything else I agree with: color is cool; great type hierarchy a big plus. Be a rule breaker and make it a 2 column document? God might not forgive you, but I will. Place your photo on it? I’m not even looking at it.

Some agencies won’t even look at your resume if you do this because of policies around discrimination. In my opinion that’s as it should be. Your physical appearance doesn’t and shouldn’t add anything

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions.

I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)
