Reactive Resume exports resumes as PDFs, and it can also give you a public resume URL to send to a person: a recruiter, a hiring manager, a collaborator, or a visitor to your portfolio. Public resume URLs are not search-indexed by default.
Export a PDF when an application requires a file upload, or when you want a fixed document to send by email.
See Exporting your resume for the export workflow.
Export a PDF when a job application requires an uploaded document, when you need a fixed copy for your records, or when you want to send a file that will not change after you submit it.
Share a public resume URL when the recipient can open a link and you want them to see the current version of your resume.
Public sharing creates a URL you can send to someone else. The page shows the current version of your resume and can offer a download to viewers.
Public resume URLs are meant for people who get the link from you or find it through you.
Do not send only a public URL when an application requires a PDF or document upload. Do not use public sharing for a restricted audience unless you turn on password protection, or keep the resume private until you are ready.
See Sharing your resume publicly for setup, password protection, statistics, and how to turn public access off.
The builder dock has shortcuts for common editing and sharing actions inside the resume builder.
See Using the builder dock for the available actions.
