Your photo is your first impression
Research from Princeton University shows people form lasting judgments in just 100 milliseconds. In professional settings, your headshot speaks before you do.
People judge you in
100 milliseconds
Research from Princeton University (Willis & Todorov, 2006) found that people form lasting impressions of trustworthiness, competence, and likability within just 100 milliseconds of seeing a face. These snap judgments are remarkably consistent and difficult to override, even with additional information.
In professional contexts, this means your headshot is often the first — and sometimes only — data point a recruiter, client, or colleague uses to evaluate you. A polished, professional photo signals competence before you ever speak a word.
