6. Is it OK to include a photo with resume or CV?

   Ludie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   Interestingly enough we were actually encouraged to do so as the "new thing" get with the times put a face to the name-kind of like meeting in person...our university actually provides a free professional photo session for seniors to include in their...
