In 2020, workers and corporations realized the importance of investing in their personal brand. Whether it was for their website, LinkedIn profile, job searches, or zoom calls, many realized that without a professional headshot, they would be at a major disadvantage.
Therefore as the world has begun to open up again, there has been a major surge in professional headshot photography. Companies and individuals are realizing that the world has changed since Q1 of 2020 and that is time to focus on their personal image.
Here are the top reasons why it is essential for you to invest in a professional headshot:
First Impression:
Your first impression matters. In just under 1/10 of a second, your new colleague, boss, or hiring manager will make an impression of you and decide if you seem trustworthy, approachable, and smart.
While individuals have come to think that this means making a good impression at the interview, many people don’t realize that their first impression likely already happened online. Recruiters and hiring managers like to look up their potential employees ahead of time. Therefore in this post-pandemic digital age, a professional headshot will allow you to put your best foot forward.
Stand out:
Whether you are a company or individual, a professional headshot can make you stand out. As online platforms including social media have become one of the best ways to showcase yourself or your company, a professional headshot can significantly enhance your brand and put you at the top of a recruiters list.
Personal Branding:
In a company, consistent and professional employee headshots can signify unity and professionalism when posted online. Let a professional photographer come to your company and set up a studio inside or outdoors to take headshots of your team.
For individuals, a headshot can boost your career. With a strong headshot, clients, investors, or hiring managers that don’t know you, will most likely agree to meet with you. Additionally your headshot can have the ability to give others an idea of your personality. Through your attire and facial expression, you can decide how you want your image to be perceived online.
