Students are employed on 'the bank' during the holidays to cover people like me who only work term time! If you are interested contact the HR department at your local hospital (you don't need any experience - just a willingness to work). Good luck.
Some companies do ask for a passport size photograph with applications.
For work such as promotion I would include one, but just as a test why not get 8 pictures taken of yourself in a photobooth, looking your best, and attach them to each CV you send out.
I don't think anyone will dismiss your application because you have attached a photo.
I would certainly look twice if a girl posted her CV to me with her photo on it, as we run fashion outlets and want attractive staff !

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!! I hate it when people put a photo on their CV - professional recruiters will not judge on appearance and I used to invariably find something to take the **** out of on CV photos with my colleagues. Absolutely no need for it and can make you appear big headed (as though your appearance will help you land a job). I should add though, this is only a personal opinion!!
Certainly not, it is not even a requirement to put your age on a CV, although people most do.
Unless the employer has requested you send a photo then I wouldn't bother. Afterall an employer is only interested in whether you can do the job to which you've applied and that cannot be told by the way you look.
Good luck!
