ShouldI includea photo in myresume?
Most experts agree it’s better not to include a photo. Almost every employer on the planet adheres to a non-discrimination policy, which makes attaching photos fairly outdated.
If the position requires you to look good, or if you’re applying for a job in a country where this is still a common practice, then natu-rally, go ahead.
It’s your knowledge, skills and competence that should speak for you, not your exceptionally good looks. A great majority of professional recruiters know this and will consider your application exclusively based on your skills and the value you can bring to the company. Moreover, many hiring managers like to google their can-didates before inviting them to an interview, so they will probably see your face anyway.
