As anyone who has applyed for jobs overseas will probably know, you generally have to attach photos. So... do you dress casually for the photo or wear smart clothes that you would wear to work? Do you use a passport photo or do you take other ones especially for your application? Do you use a full body shot or just a face shot? Close up or further away?


What sort of ones do you guys generally use?

Generally employers seem to be after just passport photos of you - although you could try them on a full body shot! In terms of what to wear I'd go with something relatively smart and tidy - always the safest option!

Hi, I have been asked too send photos with applications and found that most of them say what they want. Last application they were very specific - 4x6" full body shot - I had on trousers and a jumper, smart casual, basically what I would wear to teach in. They must have liked it as I have been offered a position!!!!! Best of luck with your applications.
