Comment on Ask HN: Why are we still using CVs like old times?

Comments

It's just information in one place, not necessarily paper style CVs. Of course companies need the candidate information. I have complemented my CVs with a website with more detailed info in the past, for example. My thinking is providing as much information as possible and also a summary of it which would be the CV itself.

I think websites are much more elegant for a modern CV. It’s being looked at on a computer anyway, so might as well take advantage of the benefits of a website.

Exactly, and for engineers also a good way to display web development skills, I think even if it's not related it can still showcase variety in technical skills.

I agree and I thought this is where we would end up eventually. With people having personal websites instead of CVs
