Out with the Old, In with the Bold: It's Time for a New Headshot
Remember when floppy disks were a thing, and pagers were the epitome of cool? If your headshot is still stuck in the era of dial-up internet, it might be time for a [photographic] intervention...
The Discovery
It all begins when you stumble upon that relic of a headshot buried in the deep recesses of your desk drawer. The one where your hair could double as a windbreaker (like my hair in this photo of my sister and I in 1991...), and your fashion sense screamed "I'm ready for the millennium, baby!" Ah, the memories – or in this case, fashion nightmares.
A (Laughable) Trip Down Memory Lane
As you revisit the past through the lens of your dated headshot, it's hard not to cringe. Was that really your best attempt at looking professional? You might ponder if the photographer was secretly moonlighting as a glamour shots photographer from the '80s.
The Decision
Once you've had your fill of nostalgia (and a few chuckles at your questionable fashion choices), it's time to make a bold decision – it's intervention time for that ancient headshot. Because let's face it, your career deserves better than a visual representation stuck in a time capsule.
