kidflash212 3083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 09-06-12, 06:12 AM (EST) "Please Send Resume - And a Photo" Is this new? I was walking by a store under construction and there is a sign in the window. They are building a Red Mango and looking for employees. Sign says to send a resume and a photo to an email address. Red Mango sells frozen yogurt and smoothies. It's not a model agency or a casting agent where a photograph makes sense. What exactly is the purpose of obtaining a photo of a job applicant? Seems like any applicant not called for an interview has a case for discrimination. Do other jobs have this practice these days? Capn2patch put me in motion!   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Please Send Resume - And a Photo" Every job which has employees who deal face-to-face with the public has this practice.

kidflash212 3083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 09-06-12, 01:49 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Please Send Resume - And a Photo" Wonder if the photo should be a face shot or full body. Should women show cleavage and men suck in their gut? Newest expense related to job hunting - professional photo portfolio. Saddest thing is this job is unlikely to pay much more than minimum wage.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Please Send Resume - And a Photo" When I worked in SE Asia, every job opening asked for a photo, regardless of position. Say what you want, anyone screening applications will look at your photo and make a judgement that could decide whether your application sees the trashcan or not. Too much like a mug shot? Too ugly? Too phat? Too dark? Too gay looking? Too old? Take your pick among these and more.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

byoffer 15030 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-06-12, 01:48 PM (EST) 6. "LinkedIn" In line with resumes, many now use LinkedIn to present our public professional profile. I have heard discussions about whether or not to include a picture on one's profile on there. It would seem that Obama has not put a picture on his profile: I note that John McCain and Ron Paul have their pictures on LinkedIn. I also note that I have no way to confirm if these profiles are real or fakes added to LinkedIn.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

For what it's worth, that field is a concatenation of <title> "at" <company> so the "at" is a hardcoded bit of text.

frodis 4413 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 09-06-12, 02:41 PM (EST) 13. "RE: LinkedIn" I think there's a way to tweak it to override the default. But I think if you don't override it it defaults to globbing together other fields.

Snidget 41599 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-06-12, 07:12 PM (EST) 23. "RE: Please Send Resume - And a Photo" The stats I've seen is something like 10% of people who are on the voter roles and eligible to vote do not have a photo ID and a lot of them can't get one. States have been cracking down so it is harder to get a photo ID (drivers license or the non-driver equivalent). Some people don't have a valid birth certificate for various reasons, or can't afford to get an official copy of it. I know from my life it seems crazy that people don't have an ID or can't get one, but seems that it happens to a lot more people than I would have expected. http://www.brennancenter.org/content/section/category/voter_id has the stats on that.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kidflash212 3083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 09-06-12, 07:22 PM (EST) 24. "RE: Please Send Resume - And a Photo" Don't quite see how this thread got onto voter ID but in my work I have to obtain ID often. Elderly people seem to be the ones that most often have no photo ID. They gave up driving and don't travel much to have a passport. I don't really have an issue with asking for ID at the polling place as long as procedures are in place to allow for such voters as the elderly person I described above.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

jbug 16175 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-06-12, 09:14 PM (EST) 25. "RE: Please Send Resume - And a Photo" TN required a photo ID this year. I don't have a problem w/ it either. My mother was born in MS; court house & all records burned down many years before she was eligible for social security. Yet, when it was time to get that, we were able to get what was needed. I don't know about all states, but I imagine official birth certificates cost less than $10 in most. I got DH's BC from Ohio. (He did not need this for an ID; has had a drivers license for years of course). But his BC had no name on it. They sent us a form to fill out with his name & for him to have notarized swearing that is his name. That's all it took - & $8 - to get an official BC from Ohio. If this is supposed to be such an issue for the poor, I don't get it. People have to have some kind of proof of ID for the welfare or other assistance. So why not a photo ID?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Snidget 41599 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-06-12, 09:25 PM (EST) 26. "RE: Please Send Resume - And a Photo" LAST EDITED ON 09-06-12 AT 09:34 PM (EST) I think a lot of the "no big deal" is the "we were able". Some people don't have as good a "we" as your family has. I know there was a bunch of things here about making it much harder to get a photo ID, and I don't know how much more than one notary stamp it takes if the midwife in your small town just never bothered to submit anything at all to any courthouse. I think there are situations that require a judge and a court order and all that and that may mean a lot more time and money than a few small copy fees.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
