| Feb 17, 2011 at 17:59 | comment | added | Jay Lance Photography | @Rowland: Maybe for where you're at, but remember that different areas of the world handle CVs differently, so that advice may not apply wherever the OP is. In Korea (for example) it is de rigueur to always include a picture (as well as other information that might be 'strange' to Western business culture such as religion)... | |
| Feb 17, 2011 at 9:00 | comment | added | Rowland Shaw | Personally, I just wouldn't include a photo on a CV for a technical role at all; but then again, I've been on the other side in the past sifting through CVs and know how I'd consider them... | |

Never, ever try to be "interesting" on a photo in your CV for a technical job. Maybe if you submit it for the next fancy and ultra-hip future mega-company, but else: resist. | |
