What to link from a resume
- Your portfolio or personal site
- Your LinkedIn profile
- A specific project, repo, demo, or reel
Placing it well
Put a small code near your name or contact block. Add a one-word label like “Portfolio” so it's obvious what it opens. Keep it under ~0.8 in and high-contrast so it scans from a printed page.
Frequently asked questions
Does a QR code on a resume look professional?
Yes, when it's small, labeled, and points somewhere genuinely useful (portfolio/LinkedIn). It signals you're current without cluttering the page.
Will it work if the resume is a PDF?
Yes — a QR code works on-screen or printed. It's most useful on printed/handed-out copies where links aren't clickable.
