Scaling a graphics leads to an error

Question

I have the following problem: I want to attach a photo in my resume on the right top. If I not use a scale argument, the file compiles but the photo is to large. However using a scale argument leads to an error:

So using once the code \makeheading[\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{pic.jpg}]{My full name} produces an error, however using \makeheading[\includegraphics{pic.jpg}]{My full name} it compiles but the picture is to large. I added a picture below. Note, I also tried to use width=/length= producing the same error. How can I use the scale function properly? Just for completeness here is the error message:

! Argument of \Gin@ii has an extra }.
<inserted text> 
                \par 
l.220 ...\makeheading[\includegraphics[width=3cm]p
                                                  ic.jpg}]{My full name}
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Runaway argument?
width=3cm
! Paragraph ended before \Gin@ii was complete.
<to be read again> 
                   \par 
l.220 ...\makeheading[\includegraphics[width=3cm]p
                                                  ic.jpg}]{My full name}
I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.
