Regardless of your academic achievements, work experience, and exemplary attitude, sometimes a1-second glimpse on the picture on your CV will be a major turning point on getting slashed on the list. True or False?
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.
Does the company recruit us if we have a good lokking face or a intelligent brain which has the ability to perform at n exceptional level??????
In the United States this is discrimination. Your looks should not be a basis for employment, your qualifications/ experiences however should be.
Yes, photo can bring some information about the characteristic of the CV's holder
It might. Some recruiters care about nothing but appearance which doesn't guarantee a good employee.
TRUE out of the choices given in the question.
