Format of resume with photo
I am applying for a regional asset management firm. In the application requirements, the firm explicitly says, "E-mail us your full CV, with contact details and photo". I am just wondering what will be the format for a CV with photo on it as I have never seen that before. Also, it seems that it is unlikely that I can put a photo on my CV and still keep it in one page. (Though it says, "Please limit this to not more than two pages", I suppose it is best to keep it within one page, isn't it?) Could anybody give me some advice on this? Thanks!
I didn't realize that was even legal?
I suppose yes. I am in HK by the way.
If it says two pages, paste a photo of you (faceshot in suit) on to a second (blank) page of your resume in word (your regular resume on the first page). Then save the whole thing as a pdf and you should be good to go. Make sure that the photo is high-def so you don't end up pixelated.
BTW, this is definitely illegal for US applications, as it is essentially a means of racial profiling. Lots of prep schools use it for that purpose (and to select attractive student bodies).
Thanks!
In France it is fairly standard to have a photo on your CV. It is usualy a small picture (like the one on your passport or driving license) an appears on the top right hand corner of the first page. Most people put their contact details top left and photo top right.
In Asia, anything goes.
head shot with resume? (Originally Posted: 12/28/2009)
For the places that I am sending a physical copy of my resume, should I attach a headshot? I just think it is easier from a recruiting standpoint to consider the applicant when they can put a face on them...
Yes. In fact, make the headshot your resume's background picture.
ok thanks...i guess it is a weird thing to do and I probably would laugh at it also
go fuck yourself since you probably have no one else willing to
Yes definitely. I've done it on several occasions, I usually attach a picture of Josh Duhamal though because I think that will give me a better shot with the ladies wanting to bring me in.
Definitely not - this isn't a college application. You'd be the only one with a headshot, and people would probably find it a bit ridiculous. Google around - video resumes and the like do not have a strong history on Wall Street.
Not a good idea, Bull. Remember the guy who made the video of himself lifting weights? A headshot isn't exactly the same thing, but it's in the ballpark.
No....I laugh at the ones I get.

haha has anyone heard anything about him?
In the u.S its illegal to require a headshot (prejudice blah blah) ...
Yes - that alexis guy was working at MS prime brokerage - he quit recently to go to another hedge fund - he's doing Middle Office type stuff
Source?
def not...your resume will stick out in a bad/JVish way
don't do it, it's too douchey
