[Job-Discussions] Professional headshot

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello,
I would like to echo what Jennifer said. Eyes closed should be fine if
you're able to discuss it with the photographer for your company. I
agree that ID photos are a necessary evil. I had some done only last
week and it was a booth so no humans to negotiate with, hee hee!

You'll get there. Good luck!
Very best wishes,
Sandra.
