    I don’t even add a picture to my resume. Like sure, a nice picture is probably better than a quick selfie but no picture is the most logical choice, unless you’re applying to work as a model or similar maybe.

    As a side note, I considered using an AI generated picture as my profile picture. I ultimately went with something else.

    But if I were ever required by some place to upload a real picture, I’d go the AI image route if possible.

    Anything that looks like standard AI output is going to be extremely unfashionable in a year

      Hey, if there’s a “make my resume statistically more likely to get interest from shallow, pompus boomers” button, I wanna know about it.

    I think this is a good idea. If I was interviewing people, for a position in a tech or engineering, I would probably be prone to pick out resumes with pictures in them. I think there is something with association of text with an image. As long as the AI pick is good enough that I would recognize you in person at least.

      Here’s my own experience as a tech hiring manager. My interview process is sometimes up to 3 months long. By the time I’m ready to make my decision it’s difficult to remember who is who. I take extensive notes, but it’s still a challenge. So resumes with pictures definitely help. If you interviewed well it’s going to put you at the front of the pack (oh right, this dude was a badass!). Conversely, if you interviewed poorly, but were still pushed forward, it could hurt you during the final decision (oh, not this fucking wanker).
