What i can say is, job opportunities shouldn't be based on appearance but the truth is that if you're good looking,you'll have an easier path in life. I wouldn't say i'm the most capable person with what experience and skills i have over in my resume but i definitely secured enough interviews based on my photo enclosed (bless my mum and dad for good genes) to give me more shots at jobs i'm looking to secure.

Bottom line is if you're average looking, skip the photo. If you know you're better looking than most, put that photo in and get that extra edge leading you to more interviews.
