Use a QR Code to Share Your Resume at a Career Fair
One code, every table. Here is exactly what happens when a recruiter scans it.
A resume QR code is a scannable code that opens a digital copy of a person's resume when someone scans it with a phone camera.
Already have it on your phone?
PDF works best.
Free. No account. PDF works best.
What happens when someone scans
- 1The recruiter points their phone camera at your QR code.
- 2Your TapX share page opens in their browser.
- 3They read your resume or download the PDF.
The fastest way to show it on an iPhone
Apple Wallet is the quickest place to keep your code. The pass sits with your boarding passes and tickets, so it is two taps away while you are talking.
- 1Open Apple Wallet.
- 2Show your TapX pass.
- 3They scan your QR.
- 4Your resume opens.
Where to keep your code
- In Apple Wallet as a TapX pass, if you use an iPhone.
- In Photos, saved as an image and marked as a favorite.
- On a printed name tag or at the top of your paper resume.
- In your phone's lock screen for the day of the fair.
Can I use a QR code for my resume at a career fair?
Yes. Recruiters scan it with a phone camera and your resume opens right away. No app and no sign-in.
What should my resume QR code link to?
It should link to a page showing your current resume that the reader can also download. A TapX QR opens your share page, which does both.
Can I update my resume without changing my QR code?
Yes. TapX uses a permanent share link, so you can replace the file and keep the same code.
Who can open it
Anyone with your TapX QR or share link can view your shared resume. Share it with recruiters you meet, and skip posting it publicly if you would rather control who sees it.
