I've had a few Dutch interns join me in Australia. One applicant who wasn't successful was a young woman whose CV included a few personal photos, one of which was a bit of a sultry pose straddling a chair. Not indecent, but certainly not work oriented.

I once got a cv from a developer who put an url to his homepage where he had photos of him and his girlfriend modeling underwear.

Not a real problem (for me), but it's the first time I've seen someone nearly naked before I met them in person for an interview. It was certainly a little odd.

When trying to find a graphic designer once, got a portfolio from one designer mostly comprised of work for a soft porn site. It may have been professional graphic design experience but not exactly something I wanted to look at as part of my job.
