Sharing your resume
How to Share Your Resume
In person, by text, or online. Here is what works, and how fast each one is.
The fastest way to share your resume in person is a QR code on your phone: the other person scans it and your resume opens. Online, send a resume link so it always shows your newest version.

How do I share my resume in person?
Show a QR code on your phone and let the other person scan it with their camera. Your resume opens on their screen and they can save it.
How do I share my resume without email?
Use a resume link or a QR code. Neither one needs an email address, and both work in a text message.
What should I send a recruiter?
Send a link to your resume, and attach the PDF too if they asked for a file. The link means they always see your newest version.
Is a QR code better than a paper resume?
For speed, yes. Paper still helps with recruiters who prefer it, so bring a few copies and use the code for everyone else.
