Digital business cards for job seekers and freelance portfolios

A CV attachment goes stale the moment you save it, and a printed portfolio can't hold a video or a live link. When you're job-hunting or building up freelance work, what you actually need is one link that shows a recruiter or client your latest work, your contact details and a way to reach you — and that you can update the moment something changes.

One link for every application

Create a MyInfo card at an address such as myinfo.ae/yourname and put that single link on your CV, in your email signature and in the "Contact info" field on LinkedIn. Every recruiter who clicks it sees the same up-to-date page, instead of a CV attachment that was accurate the day you sent it. See choose a card address that people remember for picking one you'll be happy to reuse for years.

Lead with what you do, not a job history

Your card's About section is not the place for a full career summary — that's what your CV is for. Use it to say, in a line or two, what you do and what kind of work you're looking for, the same way you would write an About section that gets read. Save the detailed history for the CV itself or a linked document.

Show the work, not just describe it

This is where a card beats a page of text. Add a YouTube video — a showreel, a project walkthrough, a recorded pitch — and it plays right on your card. Add button links to your portfolio site, Behance, GitHub or a case-study deck, and if you want more detail than a link allows, use a text section to list your services or skills. See links, videos and text on your card for what a card can hold.

Keep your contact channels current

List the email and phone number you actually check during a job search, and add your LinkedIn and WhatsApp. If your number or title changes mid-search, update your card once and every application you already sent still points to the current version.

Make it easy to save and easy to scan

Anyone who opens your card can tap Save Contact to add your details to their phone in one step — see how visitors save your contact. If you print a CV or attend a career fair, put your card's QR code on the page or carry it on an NFC card so people can tap or scan straight to your live profile.

Look professional without a designer

Pick a template that fits how you present yourself, or build a custom theme in your own colours. A clean, consistent look does more for a first impression than a cluttered CV template.

Frequently asked questions

Is this different from a digital card for an existing freelance business?

The idea is the same technology, different purpose: freelancers and consultants running an existing practice tend to lead with services and booking links, while a job-seeker or portfolio card leads with your best work and a way to be contacted about opportunities. Both use the same free MyInfo card.

Can I see who has opened my card during a job search?

Not on the free plan — you can see visit counts with analytics on Premium, but not who opened it. If you want people to leave their own details, Premium's Exchange Contact sends them straight to a lead inbox, though most job seekers will simply list an email or WhatsApp button instead.
