1. Keep it simple. When it comes to headshots, less is definitely more. The focus should always be on YOU and your face, not any other part of the photo. 2. Be confident! Confidence and effort go a long way, and a great headshot can help you get noticed by employers. Once you have a professional headshot, be sure to feature it on LinkedIn, Twitter and your personal website.
