Job Searching? Try Slapping a Fake Beard on Your Profile Pic
LatestQuit worrying about the wording of your LinkedIn “about me” section and forget the font on your resume. You know what potential employers really love? Beards. Even fake beards!
This comes via Wired, which tells of what happened when online marketer Javier Sanz decided to play a little game with his profile on ODesk, a site where freelancers can bid on potential gigs. Figuring he looked young for his age, he simply photoshopped a beard onto his avatar. “He figured a beard would make him look older — and more trustworthy,” explains Wired.
