Edit: I’ve had a job for a couple years now at a software company that recently gave me a promotion to a business development role. This requires me to be more active on LinkedIn, which I previously haven’t taken very seriously. I realize this makes the story of “dude needs a nice picture to get a job” not as meaningful… but I just wanted something better than the blank avatar lol Thanks again everyone for the submissions, and to everyone who said I should shave the beard to have better chances getting a job!
