Our digital worlds have become meshed with our physical ones in the past two years. So in a time when networking opportunities present themselves in a myriad of ways, why not streamline your resume so that you can have it at your fingertips, ready to share with a prospective employer or colleague at a moment’s notice? That’s why we’re showing you how to convert your digital resume to a QR code for ease of sharing. Whether your current resume format is Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF – or something else – we’ll show you how to get a digital copy converted into a QR code for ease of sharing.
So, how can I convert my digital resume to a QR code for ease of sharing?
You can follow the below steps to get your digital resume up and running with a custom QR code:
- You’ll first want to ensure you have a digital copy of your resume. The easiest way to do this is by uploading your file to the sharing system of your choice, like Google Drive, OneDrive, or DropBox.
- Once you’ve uploaded your resume to the file-sharing system of your choice, you can get a link by clicking “Get link” in Google Drive or “Copy link” in OneDrive.
- Here’s a tip: For most systems like Google Drive and OneDrive, you can right-click on the file you need the link to, and from the drop-down menu that appears, one option should be for “sharing” or obtaining the sharable link.
- Use the QR code generator to copy and paste the link you took from your preferred file-sharing site.
- You can then download your new QR code by creating a free account with QR Code Generator.
Hopefully, now you’re prepped with another tool in your toolbox to leverage your experience to the next level and streamline your networking interactions.
