this is a joke post right?

seriously tho, why throw in a picture and give people more of a chance to judge you before they meet you?

let your merits stand on their own

how is this a 'joke thread' its common practice for people to include a picture of themselves in a resume.



ive been doin interviews where i work for a while, and i have a constant stack of resumes

i will say no one includes pictures ive seen

also i just meant people are cunts, ive seen people make fun of resumes of people, tons of times, picture would just give more ammo

people are not all nice, some are judgemental, and a picture can prevent some from even calling you, who might like you if they had met you.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

hmm I haden't thought about it that way.

I suppose since Im looking for more a part time job and not a career maybe I should just keep it simple and not include a picture...

thanks : )



no prob man

the world is cold ugly and evil :)

another question, how long should a resume be?



@odc

resumes should ALWAYS be one page

make the text smaller if you have to, if its bigger than one page you probobly have unneccessary fluff on it.

a nice classy well laid out one page (with a cover) is the way to go, references page is later on if they want it.

... I have 3 pages, and I only have education, experience and skills : /



@odc

a great idea to do btw for resumes, is go online and download some good looking templates, then just put your info into the spots the info is in on it.

then you have a great looking resume with about zero effort ;)
