Headshots for Older Generations
Employees. They’re the one thing that businesses everywhere have a need for. And not just employees, but employees who are honest, reliable, loyal, focussed, organized and mature.
Employers spend millions of hours each year placing ads, interviewing candidates, hiring and training workers only to find that many of the employees they hire work for them for just a few months only to decide they don’t want that job anymore or something better has come along.
So where can businesses find a dependable, steady workforce that has no plans to move up and out? A workforce dedicated to the job at hand and takes pride in its work? Who will cost them less to train and maintain?
The answer? Older workers.
In the federal budget released earlier this year, the age of retirement in Australia was increased to the age of 70 – the highest in the world.
So with so many older Australians already vying for employment positions it is now more important than ever to get one step ahead of the competition.
First impressions always matter, in the past it was all about the handshake. Now that we have entered the world of social media, a well – done headshot can be equally important as a firm grip.
A carefully chosen headshot is a key part of publicly representing yourself. As with all first impressions, your headshot should set the tone for who you are and what you are about. It is important that your headshot looks and feels like you, not how you think people want to see you. Polished, genuine, and more relaxed headshots are ideal to put your best face forward.
Your headshot for your profile needs to represent you. Age, wrinkles included. It should look like you on your best day, showing your age, and who you are now. It’s not about who you want to be it’s about who you are now.
A professional photographer, who is trained, understands lighting, and takes headshots for a living would be ideal for helping you get into the workforce.
