How to make a personal website for your job search
Last updated
You don't need to code or spend a weekend. The fastest way to make a personal website for your job search is a pitch page: upload your résumé, let AI draft it, add your numbers and a 60-second video, pick a style, and publish a shareable link — minutes, not days.
What to put on it
- A clear headline (role + value)
- Your results in numbers
- A 60-second intro video
- An experience timeline
- Testimonials
- Your résumé/documents + a contact or booking link
The fast way (minutes, no code)
- Upload your résumé — AI reads it and builds the first draft.
- Add your metrics and a short video.
- Pick a style (light/dark, your color).
- Publish — you get one link to send everywhere.
(That's what PitchPage does — see what is a pitch page.)
The DIY way (longer)
Tools like Carrd or a general website builder let you build a one-pager from scratch — more control, but you design and write everything yourself with no job-search structure. (See PitchPage vs. Carrd.)
Tips that matter
Lead with results, keep it scannable, make the video genuine, and make sure it looks great on mobile — most recruiters open links on a phone.
