“Must they be called resumes? Sounds so commercial. How about “bio”. “
ITA, and I call them profiles (which I also dislike, but it’s better than resumes – my girls are not going for job interviews).
I am opposed to the picture sharing, not on tzniusdig grounds, but because I think it is presumptuous of either the boy OR girl to base their decision to go out with someone, on how a photo looks to them. I have given pics out when requested by the shadchanim, but I have not asked for one in return (YET), and I will tell the shadchan my kids are not that shallow that they will not agree to a date unless they see what he looks like first. Only exception that I agree with – if the boy or girl is from a long distance away. There is no point in flying someone in at great expense either to you or to the potential shidduch, unless you know from the outset that they might be attracted to each other, and thus there is a shaychus to doing so. Just my opinion, folks.
