Why we are not interested in that photograph in your resume?

Why oh why should we know how you look like while glancing at your resume? To get this straight, we are not an ad agency or a movie studio. We develop content. And our screening discussions do not have a script that reads “Is he a cool dude?”

Accept it, there is no such designation as a cool “looking” professional in our system. The only time cool comes into our lexicon is when you work-we love people who have a cool mindset. Despite that statement, we have uber-hyper individuals here and we get along well.

Now we do understand that certain “management” colleges where you may happen to study insist that you put your picture out there for recruiters to see. Trust us – ignore that instruction. Sing a Pink Floyd song to them if you like.
