In today's world, Convenience is more important than anything else due to a low attention span. And to get noticed among recruiters you need to present your experiences (education, work, projects, etc.) clearly and concisely, that is not only scannable to humans but also by AI (or agents).
Also these days people not only get hired in traditional methods i.e. sending printed CVs or sending via email, but also through social media profiles and the type of contents they share.
So, just imagine along with the contents you share how authoritative it’d be if you could also share your digital profile showcasing all your experiences (education, work, projects, etc.) at one place.

And it’s free to use and only requires a Google account to set up. It’s more convenient than other platforms because
- Almost everyone has a Google account (gmail).

- Custom Domain Support
- Or Publish with default link and Share the CV/Portfolio link on your social media profiles
