How to share your resume as a link

Attachments get lost, blocked by email filters, or opened on a phone where a PDF is hard to read. A link to your resume opens anywhere, is always the latest version, and can lead the reader to more than a page of text.

Why a link works better than an attachment

• Always up to date. Change a line and everyone who has the link sees the new version. No more “resume_final_v3.pdf”.
• Made for phones. A web page reflows to the screen; a PDF has to be pinched and zoomed.
• More than one page. A link can lead to your projects, case studies and a way to contact you.
• Short and shareable. It fits in a WhatsApp message, a LinkedIn “Featured” section or an email signature.

Where to put your resume link

• At the top of the PDF résumé itself, next to your email and phone.
• In your LinkedIn profile, under Contact info and as a Featured link.
• In your email signature.
• In job applications that ask for a portfolio or website.
• In messages to referrals: one line of intro and the link.

What a good resume link looks like

• It opens instantly, with your name and what you do at the top.
• It reads well on a phone, without zooming.
• It has a Download PDF button, because some portals still want a file.
• It has a way to contact you that doesn’t put your email in front of bots.
• It’s short. Your own domain, like yourname.com, is best of all.

How to make one in a few minutes

1. Go to Craftpage resumes and upload your résumé as a PDF or Word file. It’s read once and never stored.
2. Check the jobs, education and skills it found, and tick what you want on the site.
3. Add a photo, your links and a few projects.
4. Pick a design and publish. You get one link, plus an ATS-safe PDF made from the same content.

One published resume is free. On Pro you can connect your own domain, see how many people visited, and add pages like Writing or Testimonials. Not sure whether you need more than a résumé? Read resume vs portfolio website.
