Yes. Photo indicates, who are you? if you attach photo that would be helpful to your visibility and increase the chances of selection by the employer.

True with limited scope.

Photograph on the CV should reflect pleasant personality. We all want a happy and energetic workforce hence we have personal interviews to meet the candidate in person. Before investing valuable time on personal interview, we see the photograph of the candidate on the CV.

 The photograph should be of good standard in terms of quality and personality reflection. Shortlisting a CV based only on the photograph is incorrect however due to human nature, some CV may look more matching then others based on photographs as it creates a certain impression about the personality of the candidate in the mind.

 

A shortlisted candidate based only on the photograph may get rejected in the telephonic or personal interview later. This is loss of valuable time. It is best to give proper weightage to qualification, certifications, experience, attitude etc. while shortlisting the CV.

In the United States this is discrimination.  Your looks should not be a basis for employment, your qualifications/ experiences however should be.

Yes definitely.. Photograph helps a lot for eg: my Friend was young clean shaven and he was old enough but he lacked maturity,he grew a slight beard stubble and he was called in for interview.. This might sound Exaggerated but its a fact and, On your CV we need professional photograph not your Pic u put in FB or on Twitter..

It might. Some recruiters care about nothing but appearance which doesn't guarantee a good employee.
