How to Make a QR Code for Your Resume

The four steps

1. 1Upload your resume as a PDF.
2. 2Enter your name so the page knows whose resume it is.
3. 3Save your QR code to your phone.
4. 4Let someone scan it with their camera.

Step 1: Upload your resume

Pick the PDF from your phone or computer. PDFs up to 10 MB work, and most one-page resumes are far smaller. A PDF keeps your layout exactly as you designed it.

Step 2: Enter your name

Your name appears on the page a recruiter sees after they scan, so they know whose resume they just opened.

Step 3: Save your QR code

• •Tap Save QR Code to get the image on your phone.
• •Add it to your Favorites album so you can find it quickly.
• •You can also print it on a name tag or the top of a paper resume.

Step 4: Let someone scan it

Any phone camera reads it. They point, tap the link that appears, and your resume opens in their browser. There is nothing for them to install.

A few things worth knowing

• •The code doesn't expire.
• •Uploading a new resume keeps the same code.
• •Your resume is only seen by people you show the code to.
