Almost everyone has heard of WordPress. It’s an excellent platform for building your own website– no matter what you’re looking to use it for. Countless job seekers rely on the platform to help them craft compelling resumes, articulate their skills, and demonstrate aspects of their personality that set them apart from the crowd.

Utilising a website to showcase your skills does not have to be solely for those in creative industries. By learning how to use WordPress, you can illustrate and describe your skills, talents and abilities in an online platform. Creating a viewable and sharable resume is easy once you know how.

Documenting Your Skills and Portfolio

WordPress presents a clear opportunity for job hunters to create eye-catching resumes and post portfolios to display their work. Rather than opting for a traditional, bare-bones resume, your job search could stand to benefit from flexing your creative muscles. 

The average recruiter spends just a handful of seconds on each candidate’s resume– don’t you want to stand out?

If you’re looking to utilise WordPress as your resume and portfolio platform of choice, consider the following:

  • Clean and intuitive design
  • Separate home page to serve as a personal outline
  • Experience page with extended space to explain job duties 

Displaying Your Skills

Taking the time to build a WordPress site from the ground up can do more than just give you a space for your resume. The process also helps illustrate your design, content creation, marketing skills and even SEO abilities. Consider how recruiters might view your WordPress site and the takeaways they might hold onto once they leave.

If you’re looking to show off with your WordPress site, spend extra time on:

  • Formatting
  • Creating quality written content
  • Design, graphics, etc.
