Conventional on purpose

The expectations here lean formal. A plain wall, a jacket and a composed smile signal reliability, while a flashy backdrop looks out of place. Keep the angle slightly turned and the eyes on the lens. If the portrait feels too stern, rerun with 'warmer smile, relaxed shoulders, same plain wall'. Hair should look like your real day-to-day, since interviewers meet you in person soon after.

Applications and sales

Use the portrait on Xing, in a German-language resume and in an email signature. In some countries, photos on applications are customary and in others they are discouraged, so check local practice for each employer. Keep wording in your own hands: degrees, employers and languages belong in text. A second casual version suits a freelancer page, while the formal one stays for corporate applications.

Tips

Pick a dark blazer and a light shirt.
Keep the wall plain light grey.
Ask for a composed smile.
Order a vertical crop.
