The Death of the Traditional Resume
Why static PDF resumes are becoming obsolete and what digital-first formats are taking their place.

The PDF resume is a relic of the paper age. It is static, flat, and often unverified. In an era of digital identity, a single sheet of paper cannot capturing the dimensionality of a candidate.

Interactive portfolios, GitHub profiles, and live project demos are taking over. Employers want to click, scroll, and interact with your work. They want to see the code, not just read about it. They want to see the design file, not just a screenshot.

The future is dynamic. Is your profile ready?
