Obviously then it's too soon to apply for jobs - but that means we must sit back and watch them appear on the internet, perhaps seeing the ultimate dream job, but not be able to touch it... This is frustrating to say the least.
While I'm on the subject, another job-related question is currently at the forefront of my mind: I know that putting a picture of yourself on your CV is a ridiculous thing to do*. Any employer that bases it's impressions of an applicant on their appearance is just not somewhere I particularly want to work (unless they think I look beautiful, in which case do give me a call...) However, I have put together a new CV, which is somewhat different to the normal run of the mill resume... You might even be reading this blog based on a link in that very CV (in which case I think this question will have been resolved, otherwise I really shouldn't have sent it to you!), but its whole appearance is based on a format that has the authors picture at the top so! Should I put my picture on it and risk the wrath of employers/friends/hindsight, or should I find something else to go in its stead, something perhaps like the image above? After all, what does it matter what I look like, when what I create is so much more important? On the other hand, who could say no to these?**
*I understand it is a common practice in many parts of the world, but I agree with most of the "experts" I've found online - do not do it.
