IF YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A JOB IN THE UK...NEVER INCLUDE A PHOTO!

Now that I have been living in Spain for such a long time it seems absolutely natural that I would include a photo on my CV but I can remember that when I first came to Spain I was quite surprised to see that people put a picture of themselves on their CV.

In the UK, it is generally seen as good practice not to include a photo because companies are supposed to evaluate you on your skills and knowledge rather than the way you look! Of course, when you go to the interview they will see what you look like, so in many ways it does not make sense. I guess it is just a cultural thing.

Hope that helps!
