CV/Linkedin photoshoot for Xamk’s international students!
The specific times are to be determined, but the photoshoot happens during the event on each campus.
Instruction for the photoshoot:
Wear business or business-casual type of attire if possible.
Solid colors often work best as they are less distracting, so try not to wear chequered/ multi-coloured or other designs
Ensure hair is neat and tidy.
Minimal makeup and simple accessories are usually best for a professional look.
Rest well to look fresh and alert.
Arrive a bit early to settle in and relax before your turn.
Remember to bring a comb, makeup touch-up items, and any other personal grooming tools you may need.
