How to make your resume public
Every resume you make is private. Nobody can open it but you. Making one public gives it a web address you can send to anyone.
-
Open your resumes. Each card shows whether that resume is private or public.
-
Click Make public beside the badge. The badge turns to Public and the address appears next to it.
The same line switches it back. Click Make private and the address stops working.
What public actually means
- Anyone with the address can read the resume. There is no password on it.
- It is not listed in search engines. The page asks them not to index it. So it is found by the people you send it to, and not by someone searching your name.
- Turning it private again takes effect at once. The old address stops working straight away.
- Only the resume is published. Your cover letter is never part of the public page.
Good to know
- Making a resume public is free on every plan.
- A job version can be published too. Open its row's ⋯ menu, where the same toggle sits.
- Think before you publish. A resume carries your email address and often your phone number, and a public page can be forwarded to anyone.
