LynxNationmaybe I should steal it and see what people think.
I have one floating around the internet that i believe is
satisfactory_results_101
which I made when I was 13, I don't think I knew how sexual that sounded or how to achieve those results I wanted in a 101 class.
dkirsei'm re-doing my resumé and a friend suggested i put a picture of myself on it. Is that a thing? It feels a little too weird and Legally Blonde to me.

little_booI wouldn't, your picture isn't pertinent for a resume. They're going to spend too much time looking at your pic, and not enough time reading about your background and accomplishments. Plus, it's not really professional
applejuice.Do not include a photo.

B.AussieI'm going to counter what everyone else was said. This might just be an Australian thing but all the advice I've been given is to put a professional photo on your resume. If you have a linkedin (which you should if you're applying for a professional level job) they can see it anyway. Psychologically people build greater connections with people when they have seen their face and as long as it's a professional looking photo you shouldn't lose out.
dkirseThat's exactly what my parents said, that there's a better psychological connection between the employer and the applicant if they know what you look like. I don't know, I haven't submitted it yet. I'm weighing both sides.
applejuice.I guess it depends on your field and career choice. What is the culture of the company? I work in an engineering department with a bunch of dudes. If a girl, or guy for that matter, put their photo on their resume, it would be such a shock. To touch on Brooke's comment, I would say, if you really want to get your photo out there, make a LinkedIn. Start connecting with people.
If you're in an artsy field, then I'd definitely add your photo.
dkirseIt's for a journalism internship at a magazine. The application itself is pretty casual and I figured putting a picture on my resume would be a good way to make myself stick out from other applicants. However, I do want to remain professional (as this could be a good start to my career) so i'm really torn between including a picture or not.
applejuice.Ohhh, for an internship? Definitely. I preview the intern candidates for my company, and having a photo would really help me to remember someone. With so many applicants vying for a few slots, people seem to get lost in the shuffle. Most have the same degree, same qualifications etc.
So, I change my original answer. Definitely include a photo!! Best of luck :)
safarisamOH. MY. GOD.

applejuice.This is awesome, but I'd never have the..erm, balls (lol pun) to put this on anything. Maybe I will buy one and just use it as a bookmark ha.
ericaI put it on the back of my skis so when I ski past them going really fast they can read it and be like shit she so cool I shouldn't have fucked her over
taylornickylooking like a hobo holding clearance toilet paper. Fml
dkirseI literally walk like Forrest Gump without my leg brace locked. This is awful hahaha
el_mn_opDude I went through the same thing this last fall. I had MPFL surgery in my knee; I was gimping around a college campus on crutches and one leg in a straight leg brace. I never unlocked mine because it felt so weird. It is the worst. I just messed up my other knee about a week ago and I've been limping all hunched over like a 90 year old woman lately. Good times.
Cyaniceninehttp://freakonomics.com/ has really interesting podcasts. Nice to listen to while cooking or doing other mindless work. The recent one on basic income was especially thought provoking.

Minggsame. I'm always logged in on my phone. I probably check it briefly once every half hour or so. People must see my name on the online bar so often and think I have no life. They wouldn't be wrong or anything, but yeah. I'm on here way too much.
