How to Share Your Resume as a Link (Stop Sending Attachments)

Most job seekers send their resume as a PDF email attachment. That's fine, but a shareable link is better in almost every way — and takes 30 seconds to set up.

Why a link beats an attachment

• Works on any device: The recruiter can open it on their phone during a commute. PDF attachments often don't render well on mobile email apps.
• No download required: Clicking a link is easier than downloading and opening a file. Friction kills engagement.
• Always the latest version: Upload an updated resume and your link can be replaced. No more "revised_resume_final_v3.pdf" attachments.
• Trackable: With TiniDrop analytics, you can see when your resume was viewed.

How to create your resume link

1. Export your resume as a PDF from Google Docs, Word, or your design tool.
2. Go to TiniDrop and drag the file onto the upload zone.
3. Copy the link (e.g. tinidrop.com/s/yourname-resume).
4. Add the link to your email signature, LinkedIn profile, and anywhere else you apply for jobs.

Where to put your resume link

• In the body of your application email: "View my resume: [link]"
• In your LinkedIn "About" section or featured links
• In your email signature
• On your GitHub profile README
• In your Twitter/X bio

Tracking who viewed it

With a TiniDrop Starter account, your dashboard shows you how many times your resume link has been opened. This gives you a sense of recruiter interest — if your resume was viewed 0 times after a week, it might not have reached the hiring manager.

File size tip

Keep your resume PDF under 1 MB. A simple text-and-logo resume should be well under 200 KB. If your file is larger, run it through a PDF compressor first — smaller files open faster and look more professional.

One link. Professional, trackable, and always up to date.
