Do you add pictures to your resumes, and does it actually help? I was sharing with my cousin that I've been out of work and finding it really hard to find another job, and he said it matters a lot that I add a photo in my cover letter/resume. He's in the advertising field, so I'm not very sure this works the same in this field. Thoughts?

100% depends on the role. Maybe if you're an actor, or trying to sell something (ahem your cousin).

as a "Tech manager", nope. No one cares (or shouldn't care) what you like, and they care more about what value you drive.

If you have a picture, no one cares. If you don’t have a picture, no one cares.

You get the point.

In tech, photos on resumes usually don’t help and can even create bias concerns. Focus on skills, impact, and results. Those are what recruiters care about, not your picture.
