A quality head shot does more than just make you look good in the eyes of recruiters or potential employers. It infuses confidence in your own professional capabilities. Folks will see you as someone who cares about their image and employs professionals around them.  To be clear, a head shot can be a financial investment as well, but one that will undoubtedly be worth the cost. Thinking beyond the initial investment, if you land that job or secure that project, which leads to a promotion, the professional ROI will far outweigh what you paid up front. If you look at your head shot as your first introduction, a representation of who you are to potential connections or employers, do you think you’re representing yourself well?  Take a good look at your current head shot, if you were on the other side, would you be impressed by you? Take the time to invest in yourself and your future.
