Resume with photo templates

A resume with a photo puts a headshot beside your name. It is expected in parts of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and in jobs where appearance matters, such as acting, hospitality and some sales roles.

Include a recent, clear headshot, your name and job title beside it, contact details, experience with results, and skills and education. Use a well-lit photo with a plain background, taken from the shoulders up, and dress the way you would for the job.

Usually not. Most US employers prefer resumes without photos to avoid bias. Use a photo when the job or country expects one.

In Google Docs, click the photo and choose Replace image, then upload your own. In Word, right-click it and choose Change Picture. The round frame stays in place.

Face the camera, smile naturally and use soft light from the front. A plain wall works as a background, and a phone camera is fine.

Hiring software skips the image and reads the text. Keep your details in normal text, not in the picture, and the resume still works.
