Is it weird to have a photo of you (like from LinkedIn) in your resume? Or is it okay because creative resumes are meant to be unconventional? What would you think if you saw this?

The only way I see this being a good thing is if you are ridiculously attractive.

It’s not weird. But, you got to make sure the photo is high quality and it fits with your resume design. That being said, there really isn’t any right or wrong answer. Every recruiter has their liking. Some like creative resumes and some like “get to the point” resumes with clean design. Go with your gut, but just make sure it looks well aesthetically. Like hire a photographer to take a head shot of you and hire a graphic designer or ad partner to design the resume.

What you do next is find 3 senior people that either are art directors or designers and have them look at it. Tell them to give you feedback on how it looks and not whether or not you should include the picture since you want that. Each one will have different opinions. Change the thing that was consistent in all 3 people. Once you do that, and fix the changes, call it done and stat submitting. Remember, it’s better to have something done than to try it perfect it and not have it done at all.

Can you upload your headshot here? You know, for reference? 😏

I never put a picture on my resume ever ever and then was reformatting it and said fuck it. It’s not even a great picture and I’m not a model. Got better response.
