Description

What Is a Personal Resume Website?

Your personal resume website is a digital version of the traditional paper resume. It shows your education, skills, and previous positions or projects you’ve worked on. But, it also shows things you cannot accurately share using a paper resume. It allows you to display photos and images of your projects or share links to articles you’ve written or had published elsewhere.

You can also use it to share a brief bio of yourself, along with your mission statement, links to your social media profiles, and contact information. It serves as your online home base and allows you to build a personal brand and make a great first impression.

Everyone Should Have a Great Personal Resume Website

A personal website also has a few more benefits that outweigh a traditional resume.

In today’s digital age, almost everyone will look you up online, whether they are HR managers, recruiters, or potential clients. You might think that your presence on social media is enough, but the fact is, they often show a less-than-desirable image of you, even if you think you have no embarrassing moments there. And if you don’t have anything to show other than your social media profiles, chances are you won’t get that dream job nor land a new client.

Your website is also easy to update, so even if you sent off your resume months ago, any hiring manager will be able to see how your skills have improved and what projects you worked on in the meantime.

Now that you know what a personal resume website is and why you should have one, you might be wondering what to include on a personal website.

In today’s post, we cover the essential information your personal website should include and share a few examples of personal resume websites in action.
