Most resumes look the same — a downloaded Word template, a PDF attachment, and a file name like "Resume_Final_v3.docx." Recruiters see hundreds of these a week.
After reviewing how top job seekers stand out in competitive markets, one pattern keeps appearing: the candidates who get callbacks often share a clean, live resume link — not a file.
This guide shows you exactly how to build a professional resume in Notion and publish it as a shareable web page using Bullet.so. No design skills, no coding, and no paid tools required. Just a structured process you can complete in under an hour.
How to Create a Resume with Notion and Bullet.so
Step 1: Plan Your Resume Structure in Notion
Before creating the page, decide what sections your resume needs so the layout stays clear and predictable. Most resumes include contact details, a summary, work experience, education, and skills, with optional projects or certifications.
Choose emphasis based on your experience level: early careers highlight projects and certifications, while experienced roles focus on work history. Planning first prevents unnecessary restructuring later.
Step 2: Build Your Resume Page in Notion
Create a new Notion page named “Resume — [Your Name]” to act as your master document. Start with your name as a Heading 1, followed by email, phone, LinkedIn, and city-country. Add a brief 2–3 line summary explaining who you are, what you do, and the role you’re targeting.
Add a Work Experience section and list each role with job title, company, dates, and 2–4 impact-focused bullet points using action verbs and measurable results. Order roles from most recent to oldest. Then include Education in one line per qualification and organize Skills into two columns for clarity.
Finish with optional sections like certifications, projects, publications, or awards if relevant. Separate sections with dividers and keep generous spacing to maintain readability.
Step 3: Connect Notion to Bullet.so
After finishing your resume in Notion, publish it as a live page using Bullet.so. In Notion, open Share, enable Share to web, and copy the generated URL. Create a free account on Bullet.so, add a new site, paste the URL, and import it — your resume instantly appears at a bullet.site link.
The page stays synced, so any change in Notion automatically updates the live site without republishing. Instead of sending a PDF, you can now share a clean, always-updated resume link that works on any device.
Step 4: Design Your Resume with Bullet AI
Click any element on your live Bullet.so site opens the AI design panel. You'll see a chat interface where you describe the aesthetic you want applied to your resume.
Be specific about the look you're going for. For a professional resume in a corporate industry, try: "Apply a clean, minimal design with generous white space, a dark navy accent color, and a serif headline font." For a creative or tech role, try: "Modern layout with a dark background, monospace typeface, and subtle grid structure."
Bullet AI processes your description and applies styling across your resume page in seconds — adjusting colors, typography, spacing, and button styles.
If something looks off, refine with follow-up prompts. The AI learns from your feedback and iterates quickly. You can also upload a reference image — a resume design you admire — and instruct Bullet AI to "Match this design style." It extracts colors, font treatment, and layout principles from the image.
Step 5: Optimize for Mobile
Many recruiters will open your resume on their phone, so review the mobile preview in your Bullet.so dashboard. Ensure your name and headline are readable without zooming, contact details stack neatly, and section headings stay clear.
Check that the skills columns display properly on small screens; if they look cramped, switch to a single-column layout in Notion and Bullet.so will adjust automatically. Although the site is responsive by default, a quick manual check before sharing the link prevents formatting issues.
Step 6: SEO Settings & Custom Domain
Configure basic SEO in the Bullet dashboard by setting a clear page title like “Jane Smith — Senior Product Designer | Resume” and adding a 150–160 character meta description summarizing your role and value.
Keep the URL clean (e.g., /jane-smith-resume) and maintain proper heading structure in Notion: one H1 for your name, H2 for sections, and H3 for roles. Add alt text to images; Bullet handles SSL, sitemap, and performance automatically.
For a professional link, connect a custom domain in Site Settings → Add Domain, then add the provided DNS records at your registrar. After propagation, SSL activates and the resume goes live on your domain. A branded URL presents stronger credibility than a PDF.
