At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I received a phone call from @RochedaB from Flair Magazine saying that they wanted to feature me in an upcoming edition. I was shocked, honoured but mainly grateful for the opportunity to tell my story. #BLABwithJo
I was asked to send high-resolution photos and with a quick search on my computer, I was able to make a few selections and send them off to be published with the article. #BLABwithJo
If I didn& #39;t have these photos already, I would have missed a key opportunity to present myself to a wider audience who otherwise might not have known me.

Don& #39;t wait until you& #39;re faced with a great opportunity to take them. #BLABwithJo

A great headshot conveys that you are the consummate professional and creates a memorable first impression ahead of meeting you.

It serves the purpose of letting people know what you look like now versus the misleading graduation photo you have up on LinkedIn.

It does wonders for laying a foundation of trust between yourself and your target audience as the veil of uncertainty is removed.

Through this headshot, people can get an idea of your personality.

PRO TIP: Get a smiling headshot as they are more inviting and project a positive perception.

You feel more confident when the photo that you use to represent you has you looking your best and was intentional versus a last resort.
