Something I find interesting with some of the CV-advice discussions I've seen on Twitter is how different CV conventions are from country to country. Things like CV length, using a photo or not, including references or not, etc etc. What are the conventions like in your country?

I was always told, for UK jobs at least, that it should include an objective, experience with responsibilities, skills, education and sometimes also hobbies. And recommended not to use a photo.

Yeah I’m torn on the photo, ultimately I feel its better to leave them out because you never know what unconscious (or just conscious) biases someone may have about you just by judging a photo.
