Not really.
The more educated people are about this topic (e.g. have read "The Google Resume" by Gayle McDowell, which I highly recommend), or have had startup experience, the less common it is.
We all should stop doing it, everybody will benefit.
- buster 9y agoNot "Not really". It's the majority by far.
- shele 9y agoYes "Not really". The majority is not really everybody.
- necrobrit 9y agoI think something has been lost in translation here. At least in the US and UK, responding with "Not really" to a statement usually implies that the statement is completely incorrect. As in, you aren't offering a simple correction from "everyone" to "a majority", but rather suggesting that it isn't even a majority.
- bryanrasmussen 9y agoI've lived quite a long time in the U.S if I say not really I don't mean it's completely incorrect - I do mean there are very glaring omissions though.
- _Codemonkeyism 9y agoIt depends. Larger companies with traditional HR departments stickung to "the rules" will sort you out. Smaller companies like startups, especially without large HR, don't care about photos.
- fnl 9y agoI never place a photo, martial status, or birthdate on my CV. Yet, I even got hired by Novartis (in Austria). If a German company of any size really were to sort me out sure to those "omissions" on my CV, it's probably for the better - I doubt we could ever be a match.
