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.

How often are you hiring for that to matter to the average HR user? If you have time to research hr usernames how many resumes are you really getting through in a week?
Just hired 6 people last week. I interview for the company on a weekly basis
Interviewing and hiring is very important work, and your company is depending on you for its future. Six people in one week is huge. The people you hire are lucky to work at a place that has so few problems finding talent.
I wonder, though... Do you think that the nature of your work role has created a bias towards the recruiters and interviewers over the interests of the candidates? Or that it might be an abuse of your hiring authority to threaten a pseudoanonymous person on the internet with a permanent, pre-emptive no-hire status, over comments that are not obviously offensive, whose content is only objectionable due to disagreeing with something you said? As someone who hires, do you feel this is appropriate?

America being the continent or the US?
Being from America the nation, obviously. I'm sure you're just being pedantic, but that is how it's used. I'm not sure why you feel a need to make a point about this.

I made mine as an SPA with Vuejs and some CSS libraries, then converted it to PDF with the print option. It felt appropriate. Material.io style resume, bam! I used it for the first time last week, and I am on to the second round of interviews. [ When all else fails, use your dev skills ]
Thanks for mentioning this. I was doing the exact same thing, also with Vue, but never finished it. Your comment inspired me to pick it up again.

Germany may be a country where this is common, but not the only one by a long way. And no, a German name does not tell the potential employer that your mother was a foreigner? https://us.experteer.com/magazine/should-you-put-a-photo-on-...
it doesn't, but in germany that's a small minority of cases. and even germans who would want to preferably hire other germans would not worry about that case as long as one parent is german. you have to keep in mind that germany has a strong fear of history repeating itself and has strong laws to prevent that. so any hint of xenophobia in the hiring process could be a PR or legal nightmare for a company. if photos on…

> A profile picture facilitates hiring discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, beauty, and possibly other factors as well. I agree with you. That's why I said I don't see why anyone other than an actor should put their photo on a resume, because it makes it easier for the reviewer to discriminate based on illegitimate reasons. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding? This discussion thread has been about why anyone…
Positive discrimination. If you're a young, white male you can include a headshot and get a better-than-average crack at the job.

Not trying to be pedantic, I’m still somewhat confused when I read “america” when referring to the United States of America. Reason being, everywhere outside of the US, we learn that America is the continent. People who are much less into reading forums in English, or with a high percentage of US readers, can get even more confused, specially when the context is as vague as in this specific response.
