How to Add Your Portfolio Link to a Resume and LinkedIn
Published · CVfy
Add your portfolio link to your resume header (next to your email and LinkedIn), your LinkedIn profile's 'Website' field and headline/about section, your email signature, and the 'personal website' box on job applications. A short link like cvfy.dev/yourname is easiest to read and remember.
On your resume
Put the link in your header, on the same line as your email, phone, and LinkedIn. Use the clean URL (cvfy.dev/yourname) rather than a long one. Applicant tracking systems store it as text and won't visit it — but the human who reads your resume next can click straight through.
On LinkedIn
LinkedIn gives you several spots. Add the URL to the 'Website' field in your contact info, mention it in your 'About' section, and consider putting it in your headline if space allows. Recruiters browsing LinkedIn are exactly the audience a portfolio is for.
In outreach and applications
Add the link to your email signature so every message you send carries it. When an application has a 'personal website' or 'portfolio' field, fill it in. In cold outreach to a recruiter or hiring manager, a portfolio link gives them a reason to keep reading.
Make the link clean and memorable
A messy URL looks unprofessional and is hard to type from a printed resume. A short, branded link — your name on a clean domain — reads well everywhere and is easy to say out loud at a career fair. CVfy publishes to cvfy.dev/yourname, and you can connect a custom domain if you want yourname.com.
