Your resume is a list. A portfolio website is proof. The difference matters, because people don't hire lists — they hire the person whose work they can already see. Turning your resume into a portfolio site takes the same facts and makes them convincing.
Resume vs. portfolio website
A resume is optimized for skimming and filtering. A portfolio website is optimized for conviction: context around each role, the outcomes you drove, and a narrative that reads like you, not a form. It's the version of you people actually remember.
What belongs on a portfolio website
- Selected work — the pieces you'd want judged on.
- Outcomes — the result, not just the responsibility.
- A short story — how you got here and where you're going.
- Contact — one obvious way to reach you.
Make it from your resume — 3 steps
- Upload your resume or CV. reach extracts the highlights.
- Pick a look. A portfolio that reads as designed, not default.
- Publish. Share one link everywhere your work matters.
