give them the Hollywood "money" shot

is this the same as the 'east & west' shot?

[GCR99]

Did they specify that it needed to be a head shot?

Germany also insists on a photo with a CV.

They don't insist but people do it anyway. I have never done it but I had one agency saying that they need a photo and I kept replying back that I don't have time to go to a photographer. They then suggested using a camera and scanning it in so I told them I don't have a scanner. They then suggested a digital camera so I told them I don't have one of those either. Got the gig regardless.

German agencies, particularly those with British connections, have started to ask for references as well.

Wouldn't know, I just get one contract after another by direct recommendation, no CV needed.

Perhaps the end-client have a 'no ginger' policy?

I wouldnt consider working for a company that didn't

Had this request for a short term gig, to provide photocopy of photo page in passport.

As I had already secured the gig, I obliged.

Are people fliping serious? Sticking a photo on yer cv because the agent 'requests it'?

Tell to get to flip.

I had a request this year and told the agent to **** off.

The agent then badged me for a week until I wrote an email listing the various discrimination acts it breached.

When I was younger, many moons ago, I attended an interview where they took Polaroids of us all so they could remember who we were when comparing notes on our performance. I thought it was odd as surely people that stand out would be remembered anyway?

Either way, I got the job...

But never had it is a contractor though.

[HairyArsedBloke]

Mmmmmm. Maybe I should put my picture on my CV.

[darmstadt]

In Germany nearly everyone sticks a photo on their CV (except me) which can be quite fun when you're the one going through them

They probably figured you for a few extra chromosomes. No surprise there really.

Just a few? You are too kind. I reckon the shape shifting eyes must have done it.
