Hi guys,
for consulting internships and entry-level position applications: Should the application photo better be still with a tie? Or are times changing and its totally cool to have an application photo without tie? (in Germany and Western Europe if relevant to answer this question)
At least on websites I see more and more photos of partners without tie.

Either is fine - just look professional.
Without tie is fine
As you mention Germany: Definitely include a photo, that is the standard there. I know a few people in hiring positions in Germany, and that is the one thing they all agree on. I would also recommend wearing a tie, as the work culture is still pretty formal. A partner can get away with not wearing one, but he's in a very different position than you are. I would argue that wearing a tie is never going to be perceived as negative, whereas not wearing one can be.
I would agree with Vlad, consulting companies are not looking for photos on CVs, keep it plain and simple.
Best,
Deniz
Hi,
You don't need to have a photo in your resume. Pls, don't waste your time and concentrate on the preparation process.

Most personal fit questions will cover the reason for consulting itself, why you intend to work for this specific company and finally your personality.
Why did you decide to study (major/minor)? How was your boss at (work)? What did you like and dislike? Why do you not want to continue to work for (work/internship)? Explain the thinking process that went into making the decision to do (passage in the CV)? Have you convinced a team to work on a ... Open whole case
