Hi,
Would like to know , if it is ok to place a passport size photo on a CV frontpage .........or would it be considered 'over the top '' ?
Not a photograph stuck on a paper cv, but a digital image passport photo on a cv is fine and can add to it.I think a relaxed non-formal photo might personalise a CV...a good thing.
It depends on the job. If you're looking for something customer-facing, appearance is important so a photo is ok. It's a lot more relevant that a string of junior cert results.
It is not quite that black and white. It is illegal to discriminate against somebody under any of the nine grounds listed in the Employment Equality Acts. Asking for a picture could certainly open the employer to claims that they discriminated on grounds of disability or membership of the travelling community, for example.I may be totally wrong but is it not illegal to hire based on looks and places that ask for pictures can be prosecuted?

seriously I would HATE to have to include a pic, as I am SO fussy about pics of me and it would take me days to find the right one LOL. I would have to have a photo shoot done first hahaha
