Should CVs have photos?

I was asked this the other day and the answer is, with one exception NO!
When an employer is looking for someone to fill a post, what they are interested in is the skills set, experience and achievements that you can bring to the job. None of these are determined by how you look.
Your CV, therefore is a marketing document to get you that all important interview. It should contain all the information needed for the employer to determine your suitability for the job.
The one exception? Models or other people who use their looks in their work such as actors.
