The short answer is no, you should not include a photo on your resume. I have seen many photos on resumes and I can answer without hesitation that I have not found any of them added to the application. The ones I can recall all detracted from the application. These include a graduate whose photo was a selfie from a night out where she had cropped part of her friend out of the photo (highly unprofessional), a very American-looking glamour shot (cheesy), and a man who took a photo of himself with his pet carpet python (just plain weird). When submitting an application, you don’t know the demographics of the interviewers and what is appealing for one person can be displeasing for another. I strongly recommend against including a photo on your resume.
