Because of this ethos, the so-called "magic" photography came into being, and with the media hype, for a time, I really thought that without the perfect photo that I didn't even know, the road to the workplace would be dark. Is that really the case? What is the status of resume photos in HR mind? Can a good photo really determine your future?
The importance of photos is only 5%
How much recognition does the human resources department have for photos when screening resumes? According to the survey of more than 20 human resources managers in Shenbao, we got the answer that when browsing resumes, photos can only account for 5% of the attention in a few minutes. Even many resumes without photos can be quickly recognized by HR because of their excellent content.
An administrative assistant of a foreign company admitted to the reporter: "When I applied, there were no photos on my resume." He said that he had never taken any so-called "resume photos" because he had never figured out where to put such "work photos"-his resume was already full of various academic certificates and work experience, and there was really no place to put another photo. In this administrative assistant's view, if you attach photos to your resume, the possibility of the company rejecting you will increase-who can guarantee that the HR director will not cause any unpleasant memories when he sees you? Another college student who is looking for a job is also worried about his classmates who have carefully prepared their resume photos: this makeup is too similar, and this photo studio is too famous. If everyone goes there to take pictures, I wonder how HR will feel when he sees a photo carved from a mold.
Don't waste Guang Chen on photos.
Mr. Zhao Limin, a senior human resources expert, said bluntly: There is no need to waste time on photos. With nearly 30 years of experience in human resource management, he said that in fact, a lot of time and energy are wasted on photos, and more is to satisfy the psychological satisfaction of job seekers themselves. They think this is also part of the best job search. But this part of the effort is often not proportional to the return. What human resources experts value most is what work experience you have.
Bruce, the personnel director of a foreign-funded enterprise, expressed his opinion: "The magic of photos is exaggerated." Someone said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Can a photo knock on the door of the employer for you? This has never happened to me.
It is good to have a simple and generous resume photo. The company recruits mainly depends on the knowledge and skills of job seekers, the school and major you graduated from, what kind of training you have received, and what projects you have participated in ... If job seekers attach too much importance to the role of photos, it will inevitably be suspected of putting the cart before the horse. During the interview, it can be seen that not all companies value resume photos. For example, in many "technical" high-tech companies, in "knowledge-intensive" IT companies, and in the recruitment information of technical departments of many companies, it is difficult for job seekers to find the requirement of "Please attach a recent photo of one inch to your resume". When applying for these companies and departments, resume photos do not occupy the main position, and even sometimes, photos have to give way to academic qualifications and academic qualifications so as not to usurp the host's role.
Headhunters are also curious.
Photos don't need much energy to prepare, which doesn't mean that all employers don't pay attention to appearance. Some positions, such as secretarial, public relations, sales, still have certain requirements for appearance. But this requirement is not the so-called national beauty, well proportioned, but dignified, neat and generous. If the job seeker's artistic photos portray himself as a beautiful and handsome guy, it may also arouse the interest of headhunters. After all, beauty is always desirable. But only if you have absolute confidence in your appearance. If the headhunter pays attention to you out of curiosity, but is disappointed after meeting you, I'm afraid the result will be even worse. Moreover, once the word "honesty" causes the human resource manager's disgust, at least it is difficult for him to turn over.
The boss of a private foreign trade company told reporters about their company's selection strategy: resume is the first face for job seekers to meet with the company. When selecting resumes, this company has such a requirement for the personnel department: choose "selling photos". The general manager of the company told reporters that now job seekers will attach their photos to their resumes. When selecting resumes, the personnel department of a company should first look at the two hard indicators of "school" and "major". When these two indicators meet the requirements of the company, it is necessary to look at the photos.
