John Cassidy How important is your headshot photo/avatar as part of your personal brand? I'm interested in finding out why some people really care about it and have a professional shot taken whilst others use an old holiday snap, wedding photo (yes I have seen someone using a pic of themselves in their wedding dress) or something they've taken themselves at arms length with a cell phone camera. Your thoughts please...

In the professional world, I think a close, smiling, professional-looking shot is good, even if it's not "professionally" done.

Timothy Johnson III Is your headshot on your business card or social media profile outdated? Get a brand-spanking new one taken by Elizabeth Williams, one of our fellow Brazen Careerists, on August 17th, at Launchpad Creatives in Woodbridge, NJ. Details here: http://ow.ly/d/5CL. And, as a bonus, you'll get to meet both Elizabeth and I in real life! How cool is that? Hope to see some of you next week!
