Where to use the link
- Applications — add it wherever there is a "website" or "portfolio" field.
- Email signature — a quiet, constant introduction.
- LinkedIn & DMs — one link that pre-sells you.
- Networking — easier to share than a CV.
What to put on it for a job hunt
A clear positioning line for the role you want, your story, proof of results, and one obvious way to contact you. Keep it to a single focused page and use your real name in the title so recruiters find it when they search you.
Here is the shift that makes this urgent: more of the first screen is now done by AI, pulling from whatever it can scrape about you. A personal website hands that AI a clean, flattering, keyword-rich source — so you stand out in the automated pass and land the interview.
FAQ
How do I use a personal website to get a job?
Publish one focused page, then put the link in applications, your email signature, LinkedIn and outreach. It makes recruiters remember you and turns applications into replies.
What should a job-search website include?
A positioning line for your target role, your story, proof of results, and a clear way to contact you — on a single page with your name in the title.
Is it better than a CV?
It works with your CV, not instead of it — the website makes you memorable and controls your search result, while the CV handles the formal application.
