No, that'd be weird as fuck. Just have a hyperlink to your LNKD so if people want to know what you look like they can click.

Hello,

Picture in communications and even more resume/CV is an old concept.

During networking try to connect through various subjects or hobbies in common and revert to these lines in the email.

They will look you up on LinkedIn anyway..

Let your actions/words/reputation speak versus your picture..

Unless you’re an actor/model/comedian..but you wouldn’t be on WSO then ;)

Have a good one, 

DC

In my opinion no, good idea but not the most practical. If you meet someone face to face, get their info and stay in touch. Over time as they will see your emails every few months and as you talk somewhat frequently/get a coffee or drink they will remember who you are. I've never met anyone that had their picture in their email signature or even Linkedin linked, just have your name, school/program/grad year if still in school, phone number. For my professional non work email I have my name, phone, email. Add them on Linkedin on the side.

Include a tasteful nude and a thoughtful philosophy quote. I guarantee the recruiters will remember you.

Nude is too much. You want to put a tasteful pose like this:

It has to be in this resolution too, give them an air of mystery. Is it him or not? Is he looking at me or through me?

I've included it up to now because I thought it would help people I've talked to via Coffee Chats, Career Fairs, interviews, etc. to help match my name with our conversation/face. Thoughts?

No, I don't think so. It's a good idea but not the most useful. If you run into someone in person, collect their contact information and remain in touch. They will eventually remember who you are when they receive your emails every few months, talk to you occasionally, or go out for coffee or a drink. Just include your name, school/program/graduation year if you're still in school, and phone number in your email signature; I've never met someone with an image or Linkedin link in their signature. I include my name, phone number, and email in my professional non-work emails. On the side, add them on LinkedIn.
