All new NETs have their photo taken during their Basic NET Training, so that their card can be provided the day of their Final Field Exercise. The photo-taking is awkward, for both of us! We get too-close with an iPhone, you hold up a board with your name on it like a mug shot, and it feels creepy. But it only lasts two seconds, and neither of us will ever have to do it again. We take two photos in quick succession, because it is remarkable how many people blink in one of them. | |||

Correct, it is not supposed to. Your ID card photo is for business, and is used only by PBEM. | Correct, it is not supposed to. Your ''ID card photo'' is for business, and is used only by PBEM. Whereas your ''profile pic'' can be fun -- vacation, wedding, repelling down Kilimanjaro in a sequined gown. Your profile pic is displayed to other volunteers, if you opt-in to that setting under '''My Profile''' > '''Update Privacy Settings'''. It also is used across all organizations for which you might volunteer who also use MIP (aka Volunteer Impact). So PBEM does not mess with your profile pic if you upload one. | ||
