Resume Pictures

We all know that good pictures are needed in order to have that good impression when applying for a job. This means that the pictures that you are going to use should be presentable and of course, decent.

What are the type of pictues which should NEVER be included in your resume? Here are some tips:

-Never a candid shot
-Full length
-Wearing thousands of accessories
-Your "glam" picture

One thing that you should remember is keeping it simple and basic. In resume pictures, think of Passport photos. You should have a simple background (solid white or red) and wearing anything with a collar as well as less accessories. This kind of picture would help you represent a more professional image as opposed to just a casual kind of pictures.

What's your opinion about not putting any picture at all on your resume? Is it advisable?

These days, I heard that some companies accept resumes without photos. After all, you're not supposed to be hired based on your physical appearance but on how well you represent the company. of course, this automatically excludes the industries that thrive on how good a person looks like. But these are only a few. Most of the companies still require pictures.

Pictures in resume are ok but for me, if the company requires it then that is the time to provide one but if not, its better not to do so

I suppose it depends upon the industry, but in my 30+ years in the job world (technical positions), the companies with which I have dealt have never requested photos. We also never request photos for the positions for which we currently hire including technical and program management positions.
