Is it appropriate to include a whole body photo where i'm in a smart short dress and heels, or is a headshot the only way to go? Many thanks Hello,

This all depends on the software you're using. For example, if you are inserting the photo into Microsoft Word, you can use the built-in picture editor to reduce the size. However, if you're trying to ammend the picture before inserting it, using software such as PhotoShop, you're best off searching online for specific guides. As a start, we found http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/changesize.html - this may be able to help you further. Do not hesitate to contact us should you require further advice! The CV Store Hi there!
