Photographs

I've written before about how Germans send photographs of themselves with their c.v.s.

Most are pretty straightforward, professionally taken shots whilst they're wearing suits. A recruiter I know, however, received one where the picture was taken whilst the candidate was clearly on holiday, somewhere sunny.

Germans are like that: some are serious, others wacky and zany.

openBC is better than LinkedIn in many ways, including that it can display a little photograph of you. I find that very helpful.

Looking through a section for Germans I noticed one member. Her photograph was of her, shoulder upwards, in the shower, covered in lots of foam! And the surprising thing was that she has a serious role in a very dull and serious business.
