Slight Pet Peeve: when employers want you to send them photos of you as a selection requirement. all the skills and experience I think I’ve earned will reduce to nothing if my appearance doesn’t match your tastes. perhaps it’s just there to separate the plain janes from the nanny mcphees. but to a curious, young job seeker, I’ll think you’ll be searching for drop dead gorgeous. the words “please” and “photo” in one sentence alone can crush my confidence in this cut-throat industry even before I step into it. but I will try and when I try, I will not have my go half-assedly. if I fail, I want to fail on the battlegrounds and not on the sidelines wondering if I could have made a difference. when I work, I will put my all into it. but you won’t taste it unless you first get past how it looks. anyways, I hope you like my recent photo. sorry the mirror’s a bit dirty. if the face doesn’t do it for you, maybe you could consider my hands. maybe there’s potential for me to be a hand model, who knows~
