In Poland a photo on a CV is widely accepted, although it is not formally required. A good photo helps build a professional image.
Avoid holiday photos, party photos and selfies. The photo should be taken against a neutral background and in professional clothes.
In many Western countries, photos are rejected to avoid bias in recruitment.
Key tips:
- Make sure your face is well and evenly lit.
- Choose a neutral, plain background.
- Wear business or smart casual clothes.
- Remember a natural, professional smile.
