Share resume as a link

How to make a link for your resume

1. 1Save it as a PDF. A PDF looks the same on every screen; a Word file downloads and reflows.
2. 2Drop it above and sign in. An email code or Google — the link is live a few seconds later and stays in your dashboard.
3. 3Turn on “anyone with the link”. Every new link starts private, so a recruiter would hit a sign-in page. Switch this on before you send it.
4. 4Name it and copy it. Rename the random address to your name, then paste it wherever you apply.

Why a link instead of an attachment

• It opens on a phone. Recruiters skim on their phones. The PDF opens right in the browser and fills the screen — no download, no app, no “which program should open this?”.
• It fits where a file can't. A LinkedIn profile, an email signature, a message on WhatsApp or Slack, a QR code on paper.
• You see when it's opened. An attachment goes quiet once it's sent; the link counts every visit (below).

Keep attaching the file where a job portal asks for one: applicant tracking systems read the uploaded document and usually don't follow links. Put the link in your resume's header as well, written out in full (jane-doe-resume.host0.app) rather than hidden behind “click here”, so it survives being parsed or printed.

Who can open it

A new link is private: only you can open it. For recruiters, flip the anyone with the link switch on the card that appears after you publish — anyone who has the link can open it, and search engines are told not to index it, so it won't turn up when someone searches your name. It isn't secret, though: it can be forwarded, and a name like jane-doe-resume can be guessed.

• Sending it to one hiring manager? Keep it private and invite their email address instead. They sign in once with that address; everyone else stops at a sign-in page. Remove them and their access ends immediately.
• Want it found on Google? Make it public on the web from the app's Sharing tab in your dashboard. Take your phone number and home address off that version first.

Name your resume link

A new link gets a random address like k3x9q2m7ta.host0.app. Rename it in the box that appears after you publish (or on the app's Settings tab in your dashboard). Names that work:

• jane-doe-resume, jane-doe-cv or just janedoe — your name, the way it's written on the resume.
• No years, “final” or “v2”. The link outlives the version, and an old year makes a current resume look stale.
• Lowercase letters, digits and hyphens only. If your name is taken, add a middle initial or your field: jane-m-doe, jane-doe-design.
• Rename it before you send it. The old address forwards to the new one for 30 days, then stops working.

Where to put the link

• LinkedIn: add it to your profile's Featured section as a link, or as a website in your contact info.
• Your email signature and cover-letter emails to recruiters.
• Job applications that have a “website” or “portfolio” field — next to the attached PDF, not instead of it.
• Paper: turn it into a QR code for a printed resume, a business card or a career-fair badge.

See when it's opened

Every app has an Analytics tab in your dashboard: visitors and views per day, which countries and devices they came from, and the site that sent them, such as linkedin.com. It counts without cookies and doesn't say who a visitor was. To know exactly who opened it, keep the link private and invite people by email — only they can get in.

Updating your resume later

A new drop on this page always makes a new link. To swap the PDF behind a link you've already sent, open it in your dashboard and drop the new PDF on its Versions tab — the address stays the same, so LinkedIn and old applications show the new resume. A coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) with the host0 skill can do it too:

you:    publish resume.pdf to my jane-doe-resume link on host0
agent:  ./scripts/publish.sh resume.pdf --slug jane-doe-resume
        → https://jane-doe-resume.host0.app/

On Pro, versions from the last 30 days are kept, so you can put an older one back in one click from the Versions tab.

A resume website instead of a PDF

Asked an AI to turn your resume into a one-page website? Drop the HTML file here instead. If it uses its own images or CSS files, drag in the whole folder, with the main page named index.html. HTML pages show a small “Hosted on host0” badge in the bottom-right corner. To check a page for broken images and paths first, use share an HTML file as a link.
