Ask HN: Developers in Germany, do you include a picture in your CV?

2 pointsby enrmarcover 8 years ago
The only things I usually include on my CV are: name, surname, country and city of residence, email, phone, some links (e.g. GitHub profile), and of course professional experience, education, and skills. I&#x27;ve never included picture, the birthplace or birthdate.<p>Now I&#x27;m thinking applying for a job in Germany (only English-speaking companies from startups to medium-big sized). Do you think I should include a picture, the birthdate and birthplace too?<p>Thanks.

Companies will usually mention what they want to be included. If they don&#x27;t, I&#x27;d not include a photo. If they&#x27;re English-speaking, they are either following US&#x2F;British business practices as a matter of custom or they&#x27;re aware of the criticism of that particular German practice.
