The resume photo debate is real and regional. US/UK: generally skip it — it opens the door to bias. Germany, France, Japan, Korea: NOT having a photo can hurt your application. If applying where a photo is expected, a LinkedIn-style AI headshot gives you a professional, consistent image that meets local standards without the studio cost.
