Do you have an online portfolio with a resume? Nearly every design job posting online request a link to a portfolio. If you have a portfolio gallery, you should also have an updated resume page. And if you go one step further, you should also have a resume in PDF format available for download. Some people like to code this with a php action, but there is a more simple way. First, convert your resume to PDF format and upload it to your root folder on your server. Then create a link on your webpage like this: (<) a href="resume.PDF"(>)download my resume() minus all the parenthesis . When a visitor clicks on the text, your PDF will open in a new window, where it can be downloaded. Some people like to write" right click and save as" instead, which brings up a download window. To automatically make it a download, simply compress the resume into a .zip file. And change your code to: href=resume.zip.
It's that simple.
