My friend and I gettin our bromance on. I would categorize this as hoverhand on my part, but I am making full on arm contact (he's trying to escape), not sure though. I'm blue shirt on the right.

I don't consider that hover hand at all. Hover hand to me is when you fail to grasp any part of the body. You got full on arm grasping there bro!
Pic of my friend and I taken a few days ago :3

Adorable!
 
Thanks Sagitario! I'm actually growing it back out for the fall. We'll see how much time it takes before I have enough of it and shave it again.

Cool. Keep up posted! :)
I am letting mine grow too cause my best friend is getting married next month and I want to have enough hair to be able to get a nice haircut [I find this so ironic] for his weeding!
After that, I am thinking of shaving it or at least a really short buzz cut.
 
If this topic or this site was around 12 yrs ago I would have eagerly posted a picture...But bad genetics combined with 3 cycles of Accutane have really taken their toll...

People also post pics from years ago.

And Kisaya, very cute as always. Gotta keep the support for girlgaf posting pics.
 
Oh, tell me more about Montenegro! I was born there, but haven't returned in 20 years.

It's a great place! Such a beautiful country. Only stayed there for two days, though. Visited a friend of mine and went to the beach.. I liked it a lot. Loved Ulcinj.

You should definitely go. :)

Needed a new picture for my CV. Does it work? I hate taking pictures by myself.

Also, I hate you Handsome-GAF.

Why do you need to include pictures in CV? Unless of course you are a model/actor, which I wouldn't be surprised :P

You look good. What are you talking about?

The pic though, not so much. If a pic is required invest some money and get professional pictures taken. I would rip that application apart just because there was zero effort put into the picture.
 
KAOz, you need more light, the light position isn't optimal, more resolution (meaning a better camera), a more neutral background (like white or whatever), maybe longer exposure; and you can tweak color distribution, contrast and stuff in Photoshop or Gimp, which is totally legit.

Edit: Also, make sure focus is perfect.

The face you're making is fine, the hair is dynamic, necklace is debatable yet not murder, but you could definitely pick a shirt with a different color. I don't even know what color it is.

It's not perfect, but you're not a professional, so don't dwell on it. You can improve things a lot by yourself though, definitely.

It's the envy seeping trough. ;P

Keep in mind it will be really tiny, and more or less up in a corner of the application. But yes, I do agree that there is very little effort in a sense. Unfortunatley, I do not have the money to spend there.

Basically, I've gotten that ingrained in my head. Always use a picture for the CV. Alot of jobs here (like, everything) wants us to put in a picture for some reason. And I've always been told both by employers, coaches and all kinds of people that we always should include pictures.

Have no idea why, but that's how it is. Would prefer no picture, and just do all jobsearching in person instead. But alas, it's not always possible.
 
Wow really? I thought it is opposite. Don't include pictures unless it is requested by the ads.

Depends heavily on where you're situated though.

KAOz, could you borrow a better camera or get better lighting? I'd probably ask photography GAF for advice. There might be some easy tricks that get you much better results.

I think it varies by country. Here in Germany, you usually drop a picture in there. I think it's really dumb stuff and actually serves no purpose unless you're doing customer service and shit, but it's another opportunity to cheat, so w/e.

It looks like he's in Sweden.. probably a cultural thing?

I would suggest you have someone else take the photo at a bare minimum. Better chance that you won't have a blurry shot like that. If you're going to use a phone, do it outside in natural light as well. We know how shitty they are in low-light.

Sweden indeed.

Good point, will try to let a friend do it later on during the day. And good point about the light aswell.

Thank you guys! (See, this is why I come to GAF.)
 
This is my current favorite picture of myself:

We had some bottle-bombs and carbonation issues and I was emptying our bottles while we brewed another batch. That was a fun day.
