    Let me know below if you think adding your picture on your resume provides a human connection by putting the face to the name. Does it make you and your resume more memorable?

    I have put a picture in my resume and this definitely worked in my favor. The attorney was extremely pleased.

    In this field, I am constantly engaging in resume whitening to get job interviews ........ it feels like putting my picture on my resume would be like shooting myself in the foot.

    Hello, new subbie here!! Okay so I have absolutely no experience in the legal field other than a couple of brushes with the law myself ( lol) but I have been told by so many people, even an attorney, that I should consider becoming a paralegal/lawyer. I'm going to be 40 in March and honestly I have had jobs but never a career and I'm so unhappy professionally. Looking back over my life I feel that maybe I was missing my calling in becoming a lawyer and now that I'm older well, you're a woman so I'm sure you know where this is heading. Is it too late for someone with no experience? I mean I can move through a law library with the best of them and I never back down when I feel I'm right, I am a fighter but well never mind. Just wanted to ask someone who is actually doing what my goal is and also say I'm glad I found you!!

    As an older worker, even though I have more experience than the hiring manager has been alive, adding a photograph is an invitation to age discrimination.

    Love how I found your channel! Im a recent college grad who is figuring out what she wants to do! I was wondering do you have any resources that can help with typing skills?

    I totally agree that adding a picture to the resume helps a lot. I moved from Argentina (where I was a lawyer) to the US one year ago and I'm trying to start a career as a paralegal - but I'm having some difficulties putting together my resume - any ideas or suggestions? Thanks a lot.

    Hello there! So happy I stumbled upon your video, what advice do you have for someone who is in undergrad looking for a legal internship with a hospitality experience background (server/bartender) and a communications-public relations major, perhaps tying skills I've gained from my classes? I'm trying to make my cover letter stand out! Thank you. :]

    Putting a picture on a resume can open a can of worms when it comes to ethnic applicants.

    Do you recommend adding the address & phone number for the jobs we previously work for? And do you recommend adding references?

  • @tosin8123

    Could you let me know if it's necessary to include the name of the employer for a virtual work experience where the tasks and responsibilities were clearly outlined?

  • @teejack8108

    How about don't put your photograph to avoid discrimination??? A lot of resumes get discarded because of the applicants' names...imagine their photos.

    Hi Misty, I've been a law student for three years(out of 4 yrs) but later dropped out and i'm wondering should I include such info in my resume or should I completely leave it out ?

    I would like to put my photo on my CV but I'm worried I'll be racially discriminated against :( (happened before - came to an interview and saw surprised faces as though they didn't expect to see someone who looks like me considering I have a 'white name')
