QR Code for Your Resume
A resume fits on a page. Your work doesn't. Add a QR code and one scan sends a recruiter to your portfolio, LinkedIn, or contact card. Free, no sign-up.
You get one page and six seconds of a recruiter's attention. A printed resume can't show the case study, the GitHub repo, the showreel, or the design system you actually built. A QR code bridges that. The recruiter scans, and your real work opens on their phone, no retyping a long portfolio URL that nobody ever types.
It works on the PDF you email and the printed copy you hand across a table at a career fair.
Where the scan should land
Portfolio or personal site
The strongest choice for designers, developers, writers, anyone with work to show. Point a URL QR code at it.
LinkedIn profile
Recommendations, full history, mutual connections. A clean URL QR code to your profile saves the recruiter a search.
Contact card
A vCard QR code drops your name, email, and phone straight into their contacts in one tap.
Video intro or showreel
Link an unlisted intro video or reel. A few seconds of you beats another bullet point.
How to put a QR code on your resume
- Make a URL QR code for your portfolio or LinkedIn, or a vCard QR code for your contact details.
- Download the SVG and place it near your name or the contact line, around 2cm, so it reads on a print without crowding the layout.
- Label it plainly ("Scan for portfolio") so a recruiter knows what they'll get.
- Sending the resume to lots of roles? Create a free account and save the code so you can change the link later.
