Make your resume
more than a document
Publish a resume as a lightweight live page with a stable URL. Keep the PDF for applications that need a file, but give recruiters a link that opens instantly on any device.

Why publish a resume as a site
Show more than one page
A resume page can link to projects, GitHub, writing, case studies, references, or a downloadable PDF without crowding the core resume.
Readable on any device
Recruiters can open the resume directly in a phone or browser without downloading a file, finding an attachment, or forwarding a large PDF.
Easy to update
Fix a typo, add a project, or change a role description and the same shared link immediately reflects the latest version.
Attach your own domain
A personal domain can make a resume page feel more deliberate and more aligned with the rest of your professional brand.
PDF resume and online resume are better together
Do not replace the PDF everywhere. Use each format where it works best.
Use PDF for formal applications
Many job portals, ATS workflows, and recruiters still expect a PDF. Keep a clean downloadable file available.
Use HTML for discovery
An online resume is easier to open from email, LinkedIn, personal domains, QR codes, and portfolio pages.
Use links for proof
A web resume can point to deployed projects, code, writing, talks, and case studies without making the resume itself unreadable.
Use one canonical URL
A stable resume URL reduces version confusion. Update the page when your latest experience, availability, or contact details change.
How to build an online resume
Choose a resume template
Start from an HTML or static-site template that already matches the tone you want for your applications.
Replace the content
Customize the copy, projects, metrics, and links so the page reflects your actual experience and strengths.
Upload and publish
Deploy the folder and start sharing a live resume link in job applications, intros, and portfolio pages.
Resume page checklist
Before sending the link, review it like a recruiter will: quickly, on a small screen, and with limited context.
Lead with role fit
Make the target role, seniority, location or remote preference, and strongest proof easy to see near the top.
Keep contact simple
Use one reliable email, one professional profile, and clear links. Do not bury contact details below decorative sections.
Link to proof
Projects, shipped products, GitHub, portfolio work, writing, and metrics make the resume easier to trust.
Protect private details
A public resume link can be forwarded. Avoid home addresses, private phone numbers, internal company data, and sensitive client names.
Common online resume mistakes
The page looks great but scans poorly
Use clear section labels, short bullets, dates, roles, and measurable outcomes. Recruiters skim before they read.
The resume link is hard to remember
Use a personal domain or a clean path such as /resume instead of a random file-sharing URL.
The downloadable PDF is stale
Update the PDF when the page changes, or clearly label the online page as the source of truth.
The page reveals too much personal information
Publish the version you are comfortable sharing broadly. Use a contact form or professional email instead of private details.
Resume hosting FAQ
Q:Can I still offer a downloadable PDF version?
Yes. Many candidates keep a live resume page plus a PDF download link for recruiters who still prefer file-based workflows.
Q:What if I do not want the resume fully public?
A public resume page is the simplest workflow today. If you need more control, publish a version you are comfortable sharing broadly and keep sensitive details minimal.
Q:Can I start from a Markdown resume?
Yes. As long as the final result becomes static HTML, the publishing workflow is the same.
Q:Will an online resume work with ATS systems?
ATS systems usually expect a file upload, so keep a PDF available. The online resume is strongest for sharing, networking, portfolio context, and recruiter review.
Q:Should I put my full address on a public resume page?
Usually no. A city, region, timezone, or remote preference is often enough. Keep private home address details out of public pages.
