... I don't get it. I mean, I get the joke, but not how it supports your argument.
I'm sorry... I mean, really? I thought you were just trolling originally, playing up the "I don't see race" trope. Well, I'll spell it out very plainly for you then: A profile picture facilitates hiring discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, beauty, and possibly other factors as well. You'd get into trouble if you wrote "I am a young, white, normal-looking man" on the top of your resume... but maybe if you ju…

How much do job applicants get paid to apply for jobs? How much effort do you expect them to put in, unpaid, to kiss your butt, specifically, when there are hundreds of companies that are just like yours? Many of those companies will simply ghost the applicants that put in extra effort to tailor the heck out of their resumes. There is no expected payoff for tailoring until after the company actually makes contact, us…

I mean... other than the obvious ones? (i.e. the same reasons which are why North American companies usually don't or can't request a photo...)
I can't think of an obvious reason why anyone -- other than someone being hired specifically for their looks such as a model or an actor -- should include their photo along with their curriculum vitae. What "obvious" reasons are you thinking of? To prove they're not a bot or a house pet?

Any feedback on how to make resumes more relevant is very welcome. That is an area I would love to improve.
What have you done that is relevant to the job you are asking to do ? To get past HR load up on recent buzzwords but tailor the resume to suit the job is the #1 thing I look for. Any hint of not putting in the effort and I assume that is your work style. No way I want someone who cant put in the effort to get the job. You know they will put in less when they do get it.
Photos should not be included on resumes sent to most American companies. They are a huge source of bias in the the hiring process and will either be rejected or have the photo removed immediately.

People assume white/male would benefit. But something tells me attractive people and females would receive more interviews requests.
It doesn’t have to be an active decision to be racial bias. Could just be your gut, “looks like a good person to me” instinct
