Recruited via Linked-in. LOL profile pic.

[Presto]

So, I get contacted by a recruiter, for one of the big banks, last week. I guess he was browsing Linked-In for an IT job, and found my profile. I setup my Linked-In profile, a year ago, and I filled it in without too much thought. All my credentials were there, but with a casual slant for the descriptions. Anyways, despite (or because of) my profile pic, the recruiter contacted me, and after 45 min on the phone, he wanted to setup a 2nd interview. Anyways, here's my pic:

I should try doing that!
Not sure it if happens here but I heard that in China people (especially girls) send in pictures with ther resumes (someimes even nude ones) to try to get attention and get hired. That was years ago so not sure if this have changed or not..........

I would ask for more nudes for a second interview then say "sorry, you weren't fit for the job" and keep the nudes

I highly recommend making a profile. It's a small investment of time that could seriously pay off. Just from linked-in, without applying or looking at people's profiles, I've had multiple companies approach me with job opportunities.
