I see that many jobs require a photo. I am sure attractiveness helps, but what would potential employers in Asia like to see?
Blond hair or brown?
California tan?
Short hair or long?
What do employers hire for? |

Sadly, Bayden has it right. Add short hair, careful grooming, friendly smile - and you are half the way there.
Then . . . add a smile, a suit and tie - and you have overcome most of the photo prejudices.

Not very, unfortunately.
And, mostly the short hair and a suit thing applies to men. Women get away with more, but really short hair not an advantage.
best,

I would suggest dressing according to what you are looking for. Are you looking to teach kindies? Then be who you are. Be fun and creative. If you are looking to teach adults or university then be professional.
Hope that helps a bit. |
