A professional photo gains attention when included in your LinkedIn and Handshake profiles. It’s also ideal for websites, portfolios, conference presentations and more.

The Career Services professional photo booth offers currently enrolled students an opportunity to obtain professional headshots. The booth is free, simple to use, takes about 15 minutes and is available during Career Services hours.

Plan for Success

  • Determine which attire best suits the type of job or internship you’re interested in pursuing: business professional or business casual.
  • Choose solid colors and darker neutral shades that translate best in photos.
  • Pair patterned shirts or ties with a solid jacket or sweater.
  • Accessorize thoughtfully to avoid drawing the focus away from your face.
  • Find career-ready attire from GGC’s Lending Closet if you need additional options.
  • Contact Career Services if you need to arrange accommodations.
