Lead with the work, not the job history
For freelance work, the projects section does what an employment history does elsewhere. Each project takes a name, a link, an image, a short description and tags, and switches between a list and a grid — the grid reads as a wall of work, not a column of text.
Move it above experience and the page changes character immediately.
Building the wall
In youcanfind.me/resume, add the projects section if it isn't there, then use the up arrow on its title to put it first.
Per project:
- Name is the only thing required.
- Link — the live site, the repo, the shop, the video. If a client can look at it, link it.
- Image — uploaded from the editor, which needs you signed in. It's resized in your browser before it goes up, so a screenshot straight off the screen is fine.
- Description — one or two lines. What it was and what came of it.
- Tags — the tools or the kind of work, kept short.
The grid crops images to a wide shape and fills the frame, so put the recognisable part of a screenshot in the middle. A full page of small text won't survive at that size; a crop of the part that matters will.
Choose the grid deliberately
The list view keeps a small thumbnail on the left and gives the description room. The grid gives images the space and the description very little. Design, photography, and anything visual usually wants the grid. Writing, consulting, engineering and data work often read better as a list, where one line about the outcome does more than a picture of a dashboard.
Either way, printing straightens it: on paper the grid degrades to a list with small thumbnails, so the printed version stays a document.
Keep an experience section anyway
Agencies and long-running clients belong in experience with real dates, even when you were freelancing throughout. Continuity is one of the things clients look for, and a list of projects alone doesn't show it.
Two or three lines is enough per entry — the projects above have already done the arguing.
Rates, availability and how to reach you
The contact section holds an email, a phone number, a location and a website. Fill in only what you want a stranger to have; a location line matters when clients care about time zones.
Availability belongs in the short "about" text near the top, where it can be edited in ten seconds when it changes. Rates are a conversation, not a page element.
Sending it
Put the link in the email or the message — it opens on a phone, it shows the images, and it's current. Attach a PDF when the other side wants a file.
Both come out of this editor, so there's one thing to update when a project finishes.
