LinkedIn Profile Picture vs. Resume Picture

It is widely advised that applicants should NOT put their picture on their resume, however applicants are being advised to put there LinkedIn profile on there resume, which most of them have a picture. For individuals who do not want to be discriminated against, is it a good idea to advise them to not put there LinkedIn profile on there resume or remove the picture from their profile?

No, I do not think you should advise to have no picture, as long as the picture is professional. The resume is a document, that is often scanned into ATS so a picture would not be ideal. The Linkedin profile is just that, a profile. I see it as a passport to get you to where you want to be and shows where you have been. Having no picture will hurt most candidates, no matter how well their profile is written. (this coming from the majority of employers I have spoken to) because without a picture your profile is incomplete.
