I've been applying for summer jobs recently. I decided to redo my CV/resume, because my old one is ancient and ugly.
I wanted it to be good, so I googled and asked my parents for tips. Everyone agrees: the absolute top priority is having a good photo. You're supposed to look as looksmaxxed as possible in the photo: professional clothes, proper facial expressions and preferably have a photo taken by a professional photographer (so anglemaxxing and lightningmaxxing). Most recruiters supposedly don't even look at CVs without a photo.
Now, that's interesting! It wouldn't surprise me if I was applying for a job in a modeling agency or something, but I'm applying for your typical teenager summer jobs: supermarkets, fast food restaurants etc. You don't need to look good to hand food over to people… or do you?
One of the jobs asked me to fill out a form to apply. The form included an interesting question "do you own a webcam? (needed for an online interview)". Why ask for a webcam and not a microphone? If you want to test my eloquence, an audio-only interview would be sufficient. But it's obvious they want to verify your looks.
