On paper resumes, traditional advice was that except for people in the arts never to include a photograph to avoid prejudicing the employer in any way. It will tend to disqualify you because it sends the wrong message. What you look like is not a skill. Graphics should be simple, tasteful, and appropriate to the content of the resume. Many employers have Internet access only through modems.
Excessive graphics can be slow to load.
Links should be carefully considered. Linking a university placement office, for example, can lead an employer to the resumes of other candidates. Links to personal home pages with photographs of parties and vacations and links to favorite sites don't present the professional image employers expect. E-mail links provide a convenient way for the employer to contact the job seeker and the job seeker's references. Carefully selected links to publications and organizations which would serve to support the resume and not lead the employer away from the resume.
