If needed for identification purposes, a photograph may be obtained after an offer of employment is made and accepted.&quot;<p>It surprised me when you attached any importance to &quot;a great looking but professional profile pic&quot;, since it&#x27;s such an obvious way for discrimination to work, so I checked if that was allowed. I don&#x27;t recall being asked for a photo pre-employment in 30 years.
