How to add a QR code on your resume
A QR code on your resume lets anyone open a clean PDF of your latest version in seconds, straight from a printed page, a business card or a screen. Here is how to create one with MyProfy for free.
1. Build your resume
Pick a template and colour, then fill in your experience, education, skills and more with a live preview beside you.
2. Publish it
When you publish, MyProfy creates a PDF that matches your preview and gives you a QR code that opens it.
3. Update any time
Publish again after edits and the same link and QR code open the new PDF. No need to reprint the code.
4. Share it
Download the QR code, or put it on a MyProfy business card, so recruiters can scan it with a phone camera.
Why put a QR code on a resume?
Paper resumes can't be updated once printed. A QR code bridges that gap: the printed copy stays short, while the code opens your full, current resume. It is also handy at job fairs and networking events, where a quick scan is easier than typing a link.
Tips for placing your QR code
- Place the QR code near your contact details, usually in a top corner, so it is easy to spot.
- Keep it at least about 2 cm (0.8 in) wide on printed pages so phone cameras read it reliably.
- Add a short label such as “Scan for my resume” so people know what it opens.
- Test it with your own phone before you print or send anything.
