Vanity URL

Back to Main Page

When creating a LinkedIn for the first time, you might notice that your profile URL is a randomized series of characters following your name. For example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-nguyen-245b5b42.

This is way to long to include on a resume. A shortened version of this would work better. Some people will change their vanity URL to something resembling their name (i.e. lnguyen or lisan). I wanted to stand out and start a brand so I chose thecraftycoder as my online persona. I'm sure you'll agree, thecraftycoder looks way better on a resume than lisa-nguyen-245b5b42.
