SUCCEED IN YOUR JOB INTERVIEW

BEFORE I EXPAND ON THIS POST, LET ME CLARIFY SOMETHING HERE: when applying for a job, regardless of the type of job, put a photo of yourself on your CV, regardless of what you look like! Be realistic: the future employer for whom you applied will eventually notice you if you are chosen at the end of the selection process. So why hide your photo from them? This doesn't make sense! Admit who you are physically if it is not a problem for them to hire you, if you are not physically exposed as a primary condition of your recruitment.

REMEMBER THIS: you will stand out thanks to your hard skills, your know-how and your soft skills in line with the advertised position, added to all that your mad skills, if there are any.
