If you visit the businesses at today’s Career and College Expo, there is a bonus! Professional photographer Melissa Gordon will be offering FREE headshots. Why is that important? Let us count the ways.
Several years ago, a study was published regarding facial features. The research showed that you make your decision to trust someone within 100 milliseconds of seeing their face.
“A good, current representation of yourself lends credibility and speaks to your professionalism,” explained Gordon.
She added that so many headshots are being done by AI, and they may not be the best representation of your authentic self.
“It’s also a reminder that companies need to maintain their professionalism by keeping staff photos current.”
The ABD staff hope to see you today, and we look forward to reporting on your future success in business. That is why we are here.
