They said it was optional.So I sent my picture as well as cover letter %26amp; resume.Why do company's want pictures .Is this a good or bad thing.And should i of not sent my picture.|||It's customer service, love. The world likes pretty people. Pretty people make the world happy.
Who better to distract people from their customer service-related problems than the attractive people of the world?
Now if they wanted an inappropriate photo, that's something altogether different and i hope you didn't send that if they asked for it!|||Hi,
In my experience, a picture is usually asked for if you are going to be occasionally in contact with the public, a scary face will not help if you need to be a caring, helpful, hands-on member of staff (face tattoos being just one example) this is usually just to check that you fit in with the company ethos and can be smart and presentable (Useful if you are ambitious and want to end up running a department!) it is also good for you because it is better to find that you do not fit with the company before you are offered the position than 6 months into the job, where you find you hate all your colleagues and have to start job-hunting all over again.
They may also need the photo for your security ID card and it will save them time later if you are successful.
Don't worry about it, if they reject you at this stage just apply to other companies and keep at it, the job was not suitable for you anyway.
If you are offered an interview, good luck and make sure you are well prepared with great questions after thoroughly researching the company.
