There is only one reason why recruiters don’t click on your LinkedIn profile.

Lookism.

I think recruiters are discriminating against you because of your photo.

  • You are ugly.
  • You look old.
  • You seem mean.
  • You look cranky.
  • You don’t appear fun.
  • You have a sour disposition.
  • Your eyes are unsymmetrical.
  • Your facial expression lacks passion.
  • You are posing in what appears to be a mug shot.

A picture matters in ways that people would never admit.
