Question

Is it o.k to put a picture of yourself on your resume?

Answer 1

Hi.

I wouldn't unless it is specified by the employer.  I think it looks tacky.  You could note on your c,v, that a photograph is available upon request,

Good luck!

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

I think using a picture is more of a "back in thoes days" kinda thing, everytime i ask an older person to read through my resume they have all said "And what picture are you going to put with it", i dont think it's a necessity but if you want to i guess it would show how confidant you are...

Answer 4

Unless you're applying for a job in the entertainment or modeling industries, then ABSOLUTELY NOT!

You might be sending the wrong signal out to a potential employer. Even if you include your picture with the good intentions of putting your face in their minds, someone else might take it the wrong way.

There's a certain "etiquette" that applies to the job searching process, and including a picture of yourself on your resume can sometimes be looked down upon.

Sell yourself with an impressive resume, not your looks!

Answer 5

Depends on the occupation. If you're a model, yeah. If you're an accountant that would be pretty weird. But a picture on a business card is fine.

Answer 6

Definite No, unless the job requires it.
