Having a picture on your resume is standard here in Europe, at least in Switzerland. When I first moved here I resisted doing it thinking it was weird but then I was shown example after example of resumes with photos I gave in. I've also successfully found two jobs here with a picture included resume, and had no luck before I was converted. All depends on where you live.
What do you do?

Oh I'm certain I could hire one if I was trying. But as I've said a few times, we don't hire the secretaries. And a young hot one would undoubtedly be incompetent anyway.

The young hot ones don't get hired because the HR directors aren't young and hot.
Competence is relative to what you're asking her to do. Innuendo intended.

Right, I'm sure she's competent at dick sucking, I mean that is a basic skill as dictated by mother nature. It's the only way women can survive
I wouldn't even want a hot secretary to try and fuck her. I just want someone that is fun and attractive and competent just to make my day go by better.

I don't even see my secretary that much. She sits around the corner from my office. It's a non-issue. I talk to her on the phone a lot.

Yeah, my wife's employer doesn't allow them to list their place of employment on any social media of any kind, and while they can have a public Linkedin account that lists their employer, they can't have their picture on the account(I guess to track someone down on other social media?)
Weird, because its nothing special or top secret, it's just a financial/retirement benefits company.

With all these incidents of social media shaming and companies firing employees who did stupid shit outside of work, I can't really blame companies from wanting people to keep the company name off their social media accounts. The last thing I want to deal with is a reporter calling me to ask me what our policies are on one of my employees yelling FHRITP at a concert or hockey game or some shit. That said, we don't have any particular policy on social media, but we're not a particularly large company.

Just redid my resume and sent it out to about 5 places, pleasantly surprised how many are hiring. Be sweet to get feedback from hirers here but too risky.
Also, i should have been a firefighter.
