I have a cartoon penguin as my LinkedIn profile picture. I’ve considered changing it to an actual photo of me to appear less “unprofessional”. But, I never have and honestly I don’t think I ever will. Why do people need to see what I look like to consider giving me a job?
- pmiller2 6y agoI agree. My profile picture is not of me, either, but one of those generic "web avatar" thingies that kinda vaguely looks like me.
- readme 6y agobecause people are shallow, a really intelligent platform would include more important data, like smell you can't tell how bad someone smells until they come in for the interview, that's where zoom is lacking
- rudolph9 6y agoThis is a lacking feature. To much higher degree than appearance strong smell can inhibit other people’s work who are in close proximity at the office. I used to work with someone who had such terrible breath that I would go out of my way to avoid communicating with them in person.

- skeppy 6y agoAt least change it to a real penguin photo. It's the least you could do. With a cartoon, recruiters will know it's fake, but with a photo, there's a chance that an actual penguin will answer the phone.
