👔 What should you wear for your photo?

Have you ever stood in front of your closet for a long time not knowing what to wear?

For part-time job photos, you don’t need a suit, but neatness is key!

1. A dark solid shirt or a top with a collar is a safe choice.

2. If using a white background, avoid white clothes or outfits with large patterns.

3. First, decide on the impression you want to show, like 'friendliness' or 'professionalism.'

💇‍♀️ How should you style your hair?

It's tough to decide whether to leave your hair down or tie it up for the photo.

The key is to keep your facial features clearly visible!

1. Trim or sweep your bangs so your eyebrows, eyes, and facial outline are visible.

2. Tuck your side hair neatly behind your ears to look brighter.

3. Avoid colorful contact lenses, glasses with strong reflections, or large accessories.

😊 Here’s how to choose your expression!

Do you often get upset because your face freezes in front of a camera?

A natural smile is really important.

1. A relaxed, natural smile with loose lips is safest and looks best.

2. Do skincare 2-3 days before shooting, and adjust lighting so there are no shadows on your face.

💻 Edit your photo just enough so it's still you!

You might worry that over-editing to look prettier will make you embarrassed at the interview.

Edits must look natural!

1. You can correct skin tone and do minor edits, but don’t change your face shape or features significantly.

2. Your natural look won't feel strange to interviewers.

3. Get your photo ready in 3×4cm size as standard.
