Best answer: if the resume has a spot for it, and you have a good looking photo of yourself, it'll probably work in your favor. All of us have an insatiable curiosity of what other people look like, whether it's a celebrity, favorite actor, radio announcer, person in the news, new neighbor, or your own resume. People will want to know what you look like, so don't hide. Your resume lists your experience and attributes. Make your headshot an attribute as well.
