I hate pictures of myself, and I’ve never done the headshot thing. I guess I probably should have at some point; there are rare occasions when I’m asked for my picture and I don’t have much to offer.
But I love what Kim Whitman says in her blog about this. And one line was especially good:
We want to hire you, not be seduced by you. Yes, your headshot can be too sexy.
I’ve seen some headshots that look like that. I find them annoying.
Me? I think I should have one that makes me look thinner, younger, and beautiful. Now is that asking too much?
Um. Yeah. It is.
Never mind. I actually want one that really looks like me. Maybe someday …?
