You finished your resume. Now you need a link you can put on LinkedIn, drop into job applications, and print on business cards. Something clean — not a Google Drive URL with 40 random characters.
You want anyone who clicks it to see your resume instantly. No downloads. No “request access” screens. No sign-in walls.
And when you update your resume (new job, new skills, new project), the link should stay the same so you don’t have to fix it everywhere.
Here’s how to do that in about 60 seconds. For free.
What You’ll Get
A permanent, professional-looking link to your resume — something like jane.zerodeploy.app/resume.pdf — that anyone can open in their browser.
Put it on your LinkedIn profile, in your email signature, on your portfolio site, or on a business card. The link won’t expire, and you can update your resume anytime without changing the URL.
What You Need
- Your resume as a PDF file
- An email address (to sign up — 14-day free trial)
That’s it. No software to install, no technical knowledge needed.
How to Do It
1. Go to the ZeroDeploy dashboard
Open dashboard.zerodeploy.dev in your browser and enter your email. You’ll get a sign-in link in your inbox — click it, and you’re in. No password to remember.
2. Pick a name for your link
You’ll be asked to choose a short name (2-15 characters). This becomes part of your URL.
If your name is Jane Smith, you might pick janesmith. Your link will be janesmith.zerodeploy.app.
Choose something professional and easy to remember — recruiters and hiring managers will see it.
3. Upload your resume
You’ll see an upload area. Drag your resume PDF from your computer and drop it right there. Or click the area to browse for the file.
Name your file something simple like resume.pdf. That way your full link will be janesmith.zerodeploy.app/resume.pdf — clean, readable, and easy to type.
4. Done — your link is live
Your resume is online. You’ll see your link in the dashboard — click it to make sure everything looks right.
It opens directly in the browser. No download prompts. No Google sign-in screens. Just your resume.
Where to Put Your Resume Link
Now that you have a permanent link, put it everywhere it matters:
- LinkedIn profile — Add it to your contact info or “Featured” section. Recruiters can view your full resume with one click instead of downloading an attachment.
- Job applications — Paste the link in “portfolio” or “website” fields. It looks more professional than a Google Drive URL.
- Email signature — Add “View my resume” with a link. Every email you send becomes a subtle job search tool.
- Business cards — Print the link or generate a free QR code. Someone at a networking event can scan it and see your resume on the spot.
- Portfolio site — If you have a personal website, link to your resume PDF so visitors can always find the latest version.
The link is permanent. It won’t expire, and anyone can view it — no account needed on their end.
Tips
Name your file resume.pdf. Your link will be yourname.zerodeploy.app/resume.pdf — professional and obvious. Avoid names like Resume_Final_v3_UPDATED.pdf.
Upload a portfolio too. Drop multiple files at once. You can have yourname.zerodeploy.app/resume.pdf and yourname.zerodeploy.app/portfolio.pdf under the same link. You can also put any PDF online — menus, pitch decks, course handouts. See our portfolio hosting page for more ideas.
Update without changing the URL. When you revise your resume, upload the new version with the same filename. The link stays the same, so anyone who saved it will see the updated version automatically. No need to re-share anything.
Need to restrict access? Add a password so only people you share the password with can view your resume — useful if you’re job hunting discreetly and don’t want your current employer to find it.
Want to know who’s viewing your resume? ZeroDeploy includes free privacy analytics — see how many people opened your link and where they’re from. Great for tracking which job applications are getting attention.
Want a custom domain? The Starter plan includes 1 custom domain. Use resume.janesmith.com or any domain you own.

| Updating | May generate a new link | Must resend to everyone | Same link, always current |
| Printable on a business card? | No — too long | No | Yes |
| Works on LinkedIn? | Looks unprofessional | Can’t link | Clean, clickable link |
