that is a generalization? i've work in more than one US MNC and if they did practise that, i would not have been hired.

Unregistered If there had been people who ever told you before that your head resembles a dick.. Then i tink it's best not to include a photo and kill your chances before you get invited to an interview...
you can show up and scare them on the actual day when you walk into the room... Will be fun to look at the expressions of disgust on their faces....

Do you prefer pretty faces?

Sad but true. Shallow but it's real.

This is the good thing about an anonymous discussion forum, where non-politically correct things can be freely discussed.
so next time when people post their wealth and income in this forum, they should also state whether they're good looking, average, or ugly?

Of course I dare not go for the interview as they will realise my real looks are different from my CV photos. Btw, from those reply emails which indicate my interviewer names, all of them are males!
