What a good online resume shows
Put your name and the kind of work you're looking for near the top. Follow that with a short
introduction in your own words, then your experience and education. If you're a student, lead with the
work you have: coursework, projects, placements or volunteering, where those apply.
Show the work itself.
For each project or role, say what you did, what part was yours and what you can share, then add a
link to the work if there's something the reader can open and look at. Keep any results specific to
what you can back up.
What should someone do next? Give them a clear contact option and a clearly labelled link to your PDF
resume if you're including one. Don't make them guess which button is which.
And leave out personal details you don't want on a public page. Read the page as someone who doesn't
know you yet (including the project names).
Layouts that work and why
For a one-page resume, try your name and introduction at the top, followed by experience, selected
work, education and contact details. Put the section you most want someone to read closer to the top.
A student's project work might go before employment; an experienced applicant might start with recent
roles.
Keep the labels plain.
For a project-led layout, give each project its own small section with a title, your role, a short
description and a link to the work, rather than asking an image to carry all of that information. Use
images where they help show what you made.
Do you need separate pages? If a project needs more room, give it a page and keep a short introduction
on the main resume. But check your plan's page limit before building that out.
Preview the layout on your phone (not just in the editor). Check the text, images and buttons, then
open the published page and try the links.
Keeping your online resume current
Update the site when you finish a project, change roles or have new work you want to show. Check the
short introduction too. Does it still describe the work you're looking for, or is it left over from
your last application?
Start with the basics.
Read your role titles and dates against your PDF resume, check the contact details, then open each
work link and make sure the page it leads to is still something you want an employer to see. If a
project is no longer public, change the link or remove it.
And check the published site after editing, including on your phone. Don't stop at the editor preview.
If you link to a PDF, open that file as well (the file itself, not just its folder). For a Heya site,
host the PDF elsewhere, such as Google Drive, and link to it from a button. Before sending an
application, check that both versions contain the details you want that reader to have.

FAQ
How do I make a free online resume?+
Choose an ongoing free plan rather than relying on a paid-plan trial. Start with a template or
blank page, add your introduction, experience, education and contact details, then preview and
publish it. Check the published link before adding it to applications. Look at the free address
and builder branding too; a custom domain may require a paid plan.
What should a resume website include?+
Include your name, the work you're looking for, relevant experience, education and a way to
contact you. Add projects or work samples you can share, with a short explanation of your part in
each. Keep it specific. If you include a PDF resume, label its link clearly and check that the
file matches the information on your site.
Is a resume website better than a PDF resume?+
Use the format the application asks for. A website gives you a place to present your resume
alongside links and project work; a PDF gives you a separate document to submit. You don't have to
choose. Keep both if you want both, and check that their dates and role details agree. On Heya,
host the PDF elsewhere and link to it from a button.
Can I put my resume website on LinkedIn?+
Yes. Add the published website link to your LinkedIn profile and label it as your resume or
portfolio, depending on what it contains. Open the link while signed out of your website builder
to check what a visitor sees. Use the public page, not an editing or preview address, and check it
again after changing your site's address.
