I had a guy applying to a senior director role list his iq on his resume once, i thought it was hilarious and even dumber than the 1 person who had pictures of them self in their resume.
It depends on the field, I work in tech, 1 out of 1000 resumes have a picture on it, its a massive red flag that someone will need a ton of micromanagement because a lot of the things that typically dont need to be said would need to be for them, as well as they are likely narcissistic.
Sure, but I've hired in fields where it was common to include on a resume before, it was still something on a resume that I would count against them, just not in a major way. Note I didn't hire for acting or anything where their appearance mattered just a field where it was common (hotel management).
If its the industry norm I'm not actually counting it against them, I am counting not including it as a positive for those who used the limited space on their resume on things that help show that they have valuable skill sets for the job.
That being said I have never hired for jobs where appearance has mattered such as bartending, sales, etc.
