As showbizzy as it sounds, everyone has their own personal brand in 2017. Even if you’re not an aspiring starlet, you still have a brand. Perhaps the better way to frame it is, everyone has an image. This sounds like a burden, and it can be. However, the good news is, it’s easier than ever to control your own personal presentation. You can brand yourself however you like. Whether it’s tech-savvy entrepreneur, dedicated sales representative, or even just the witty person in the office, you control your own image. In fact, it all starts with an actual image — your headshot. Portraits aren’t just for auditioning; the right business headshot can help you present your personality to potential employers. So, what does your headshot say about your brand?

Showcase Your Personality to Set the Tone for Interviews

Whether it’s for LinkedIn or the company website, a business portrait can often be your first introduction to colleagues and potential employers. The right headshot can capture your personality and set the tone for your future interactions. Are you fun-loving? Innovative? A straight-shooter? Your headshot doesn’t have to be a forced smile with a tie wrapped around it in front of a soft background. Consider how your headshot can set the table for you as a professional.

Your Headshot Says More About Your Brand Than Words Can

Of course when it comes to applying for a job, you still need the right credentials to get in the door. However, a pile of resumes start to look awfully similar after an intern has been sorting through them for half a day. Your personality can come through an image much more easily than it can through the formatted text on a resume.
