Facing fierce competition in the job market, prospective employees are shelling out $1,000 for a professional headshot hoping to gain an edge.
Apparently the "right" headshot can put you ahead of the pack. It should be an easy sprint to the front with your wallet being so light.
Headshots with smiles are now questionable, even ill-advised in some circles. Pity all that money spent on orthodontia and caps. They should have saved it to pay for the $1,000 headshots.
