Hi Andonis,

I can understand your reasoning, but in the HR world where resumes open and close doors most of the time a photo is not recommended. Here are some of the reasons:

• Resumes should market skills, experience and education - not your looks.
• An attractive person may appear as if they are trying to get a position based on their looks rather than qualifications. An unattractive applicant risks losing a possible interview even if they are the best qualified.
• Pictures on resumes are problematic for all except actors and models - where people are being hired for looks.
• If you attach a photo to a job application, your potential boss can make a decision based on race, sex, age or looks, not of which should be relevant in the hiring process.
• The purpose of submitting a resume is to get an interview. In the real world, a resume with a picture is more likely not to get an interview.

Wanted some advice on scanning your pic on your resume. I do agree on what you're saying about not, including your picture, but what if your job has a lot of interaction with the public, a front line job like the hospitality industry...a front desk job. Shouldn't appearance as well as experience matter...?? Please advice....!!
