Resume Update!

A while back I shared that I built my resume as a website so I can update it in one place without re-uploading files or changing links everywhere.

Now that I'm looking for a new job, I ran into a new problem; I wanted to tailor my resume depending on the role I'm applying to. Sending the same resume to a Magento recruiter and a frontend recruiter doesn't really make sense.

So I fixed that by adding a query param to the resume URL:

edriso.github.io?r=fullstack
edriso.github.io?r=frontend
edriso.github.io?r=php
edriso.github.io?r=magento

Each one shows a different version; different title, different bio, different skills order 😃.

And it saves to localStorage, so if the recruiter refreshes the page or comes back later without the param, they still see the right version.

Same thing on my portfolio site. The resume link in the footer automatically includes the right role param based on which version of the portfolio the recruiter is viewing.

One link per recruiter. No confusion.

Alhamdulillah 🙌
