How to Build an Online CV and Portfolio as a Single Page

Most people send a PDF CV and keep their work somewhere else, when an online CV and portfolio as a single page does both jobs at once. A PDF looks the same as everyone else's and cannot show a single project in action. A page lets a recruiter scroll from your experience straight into real work samples, on their phone, from one link.

I built ShareMyPage, the tool I use for the publishing step below, so that part is my own product.

A single page beats a PDF for most applications

This is for you if:

• your work is easier to show than to describe
• people will open it on a phone
• you want to keep it current without sending a new file

The downside: some application forms only take a file upload. Keep a PDF for those.

One prompt gets you a first version

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. It returns a single self-contained HTML file, ready to publish:

Create a single self-contained HTML page that is a personal CV and portfolio. Include a short intro, experience, selected work as cards, skills, and contact links. Distinctive but professional design that stands out from a template. Everything inline. Give me the finished page as a downloadable .html file I can save.

You get a short intro, your experience, selected work as cards, your skills, and ways to get in touch. Swap in your own details and regenerate until the design feels like you.

Publishing it takes three steps

1. Copy the full HTML the AI generated.
2. Open ShareMyPage, create a new page, and paste it in.
3. Set access to "Anyone with the link", copy the link, and put it in your bio, your applications, or your email signature.

The page lives at one URL and stays editable, so you keep it current as your career moves on without changing the link. Here is one as a shared page:

Built the page in Claude or ChatGPT? The same publish flow applies. For more ideas, see the examples gallery.

Use your own site if you want to be found by search

Pages on ShareMyPage are kept out of search engines on purpose. That's right for most things people share, and wrong if you want someone who searches your name to land on your CV. For that, put it on a site of your own.

The other thing to know: on the free plan the page shows a small ShareMyPage badge. Paid plans remove it.

The short version

• Use a single page if you apply by link and your work is visual.
• Keep a PDF for forms that only take a file.
• Use your own site if you want to be found on Google.

One tip: update the same page instead of making a new one for each application. The link you sent last month then shows this month's work.
