That's really good to know! I've always wondered why I see so many resumes online with pictures and now I'm curious if it's to accommodate people outside the U.S! I'll have to try and see if it's like that elsewhere as I've considered applying for jobs outside the U.S.

Yeah it's actually not that easy to find culturally-sensitive info regarding resumes and cv's. You really have to dig into the work culture on the country you target.
For Germany there is a nice resource for nearly every topic on working culture (note it's only in German): karrierebibel.de/
Having no picture on your resume is in Germany considered as highly unserious.

Yeah, I was recently informed of this. To Americans this seems like something that would only exacerbate discrimination, bias, and such.
But yeah, thanks for pointing this out. It's definitely something that needs to be taken into account if someone is considering work in Germany!
