When applying for a job, it is very important to make a first impression on the employer, but how to do this if you are not offered a personal meeting, but simply send a resume? Your photo can help here.
Photography is your face on paper and the fact how it can make an impression and help in further employment is very important. After all, a lot can depend on who looks at your potential boss from a piece of paper. No matter what anyone says, but appearance and its presentation play an important role when applying for a job.
Of course, most take into account work experience and qualifications, however, according to statistics, more than 70% pay attention, first of all, to the photo.
In order for your photo to impress the management and HR department, it is enough to make a few simple moves:
- in the photo it is important to look calm, not aggressive. If you are a girl, try to use a minimum of cosmetics, not every employer wants to see a parrot in his state;
- never take a photo from a document or passport, it must be alive;
- do not take pictures in full growth - this is superfluous. The face is important, not the legs;
- the background should be clean, it is better to use a solid background;
- the appearance is neat: a work environment, a business suit and a slightly smiling face, so that no one thinks that you are a person without a mood for life;
- the photo should be of good quality and not take up much space.
It is quite easy to create such an image. An example can be easily viewed on the Internet. In this case, it is better to contact a professional photographer once, and then always use the made card. As a rule, the appearance does not change over the years, only a little more wrinkles appear. The rest is no longer important, because you will get the desired position.
