Far too many people ignore that online it is the very first place where most professional contacts will look to find out more about you. If you want to be treated like a professional, you must look professional and a poor-quality cell phone photo taken by a friend will not “do the job”. By including a memorable professional photo on your social media accounts, your email or your website, you allow people to put a face to a name, meaning you are more likely to stay top-of-mind to the important people who look you up, whether before or after you meet. A good headshot is your best chance to make an instant (and positive) first impression.
