Resume photo guidance
Should you include a photo on a resume?
Resume-photo expectations vary by country, employer, and role. Use a professional portrait only when it is appropriate for the destination; never let a generated photo imply a credential, employer, or identity that is not true.Use the destination's rules
A professional profile, speaker page, recruiting profile, or company bio may call for a portrait. A resume may not. Check the instructions for the specific market and employer rather than applying one rule everywhere.
Choose accuracy over polish
Your image should make you recognizable in a real meeting. Avoid any result with altered facial identity, artificial text, or implausible clothing and body details.
