Should you put a website link on your resume?
Yes, if the page adds something the resume can't and you keep it working. A dead or empty link does more harm than no link.
Updated 25 October 2026
What is worth linking
A portfolio, a GitHub profile, published writing, or a page that shows your career in a different way. Skip a link that only repeats your resume.
Where to put it
Next to your contact details, near the top. Use a short address that starts with https, and make it a hyperlink in a PDF so a reader can click it.
Check it before you send
Open it on a phone, in a private window, and from a different network. A page that needs a login or loads slowly will lose the reader.
An easy option
If you have no site, a CVArcade game is a link you can add without building anything, and it comes with a plain-text version. Interactive resume guide
Questions
How many links should a resume have?
As few as it needs. One or two that add something are better than a row of profiles.
