A personal page has one job: help the right person decide to contact you. Everything on it should help with that. Here is what we put on every tapcv page, and what we cut.
Put this on
- One line that says what you do. Not a slogan, just your job in plain words.
- A clear photo where people can see your face.
- Three to five things you are good at, written the way a client or recruiter would search for them.
- Two or three pieces of work with one sentence each on what changed because of you.
- One main button. Book a call, download my CV, or email me. Pick one and make it big.
Leave this off
- Every job since school. Your CV can hold the full list.
- Skill bars and percentages. Nobody knows what 80% of Python means.
- Five buttons of the same size. If everything is important, nothing is.
Keep it current
An old page is worse than no page. Update the top line and your main button whenever your goal changes. On tapcv Pro we do this for you when you send us a message.
