As a hiring manager, I can tell you why this won't work for me: great creatives put the job ahead of their ego. A quirky, bitmoji-ridden resume that screams "this is how I roll, deal with it!" send the exact opposite message. Instant fail.

The only reason I've considered removing it is that I know some folks remove photos and gender specific names from resumes to reduce the risk of bias. I wonder if me having a photo somehow reduces the effectiveness of that for others. Open to thoughts on that if anyone has them..
