Wouldn’t this information possibly create legal liability for employment discrimination? Or be a factor in a potential suit? I have never been asked to submit a photo.

My limited HR take is to agree. More risk than reward for sure

I know I've seen that before, I remember it as I once had to find the headshot jpg I had on my Google Drive. Perhaps it is becoming more common. I'd be curious to know how they assess the photos, if they assess them. It seems like someone who hasn't had a pro headshot would be disadvantaged.

I don't see an asterisk, so it doesn't appear to be required. Having said that, I must also say that I agree with SA1 regarding possible legal liability.

I agree with you, and I really think it may be considered illegal.

I have never seen that before. Even if attaching a photo isn't mandatory, I would still be considering it a red flag. Like others mentioned, it's questionable legal territory, and insight into company culture that I wouldn't ignore.

Nobody wants to employ the ugly 😆

I am looking to enter big law. I had a clerkship on a state Business Calendar and am a current first year litigation associate where I have prepared for a trial, taken and defended depositions, and have extensive motion writing practice in tech, business, and employment cases. Is it a waste of time to try and make a move to big law with such few years of experience?

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?
