Si uno de tus objetivos para 2024 es darle un giro a tu carrera profesional, entonces te interesa renovar tu currículum. Estamos en un mundo en el que los bots revisan los currículums buscando palabras clave, así que hacer algo diferente (como crear una web solo para tu currículum) puede parecer arriesgado, pero te puede ayudar a destacar sobre los demás. Aunque no estés buscando activamente empleo, tener una web con tu currículum es una buena idea de cara a tu marca personal.

Hoy vamos a hablar sobre cómo puedes utilizar (casi) cualquier tema de WordPress.com para crear una web impresionante para tu currículum.

1. Elige un tema

Para crear una web para tu currículum, no hace falta tener tanto en cuenta la estructura del tema como la estética general. Tanto si quieres un estilo jovial y retro como si prefieres uno más formal, piensa en tu sector y en lo que mejor te representa a ti. Cuando estés mirando la biblioteca de temas, fíjate en un tema que te llame la atención incluso antes de pararte en él: ese que te hacer pensar «¡Este me gusta!».

2. Publica los elementos del currículum como entradas

Cuando hayas elegido un tema, empieza a añadir contenido. Haz que cada sección de tu currículum sea una entrada:

• Perfil profesional 
• Formación
• Experiencia laboral 1 
• Experiencia laboral 2
• Experiencia laboral 3
• Títulos y otras competencias 

Según cómo sea el tema, puedes tener que publicarlas en un orden específico para que quede mejor visualmente. Por ejemplo, pon tu perfil profesional al principio, después tu experiencia laboral más reciente, etc. También puedes modificar las fechas de publicación para mover las secciones y que se ajusten mejor al tema que has elegido.

3. Añade páginas. 

Además de utilizar entradas para organizar los elementos de tu currículum, también deberías incluir al menos dos páginas más:

• Sobre mí
• Contacto

En la página «Sobre mí», no te cortes en contar tu historia de una forma más distendida, pero sin perder el nivel adecuado de profesionalidad que se espera en tu sector. En la página de contacto, puedes utilizar nuestro bloque Formulario de contacto o simplemente mencionar tu dirección de correo electrónico (no es recomendable publicar tu número de teléfono directamente en tu web).

Quizá te interese añadir otras páginas, según tu carrera profesional.

• Si eres escritor o artista, es una buena idea añadir páginas de «Porfolio» o «Ejemplos de trabajos».
• Si eres ingeniero de software, tener un escaparate de proyectos o snippets de código en los que hayas trabajado puede darle valor a tu currículum. 
• Si tienes recomendaciones de LinkedIn u otros comentarios sobre tu trabajo añade una página de recomendaciones.

Para terminar, no importa el campo en que te muevas, páginas como «Aficiones» o «Voluntariado» pueden reflejar tu esencia personal y dejar ver a los potenciales empleadores que no eres un robot sin mente.

4. ¡Lánzala y mantenla actualizada!

Una vez que hayas publicado tus páginas y entradas, ¡comparte tu web con el mundo! O, como decimos por aquí, lánzala. Comparte tu nueva y reluciente web en tus redes sociales, incluye la URL en los documentos o archivos PDF de los currículums que envíes y ponla también en la firma de tus correos electrónicos.

Tanto si estás en búsqueda activa de empleo como si no, no olvides actualizar periódicamente tu web con cualquier nuevo trabajo, rol, título, etc.

On January 1, you came together from all corners of the globe, ready to answer the call of our Bloganuary challenge and write for 31 straight days. And, oh, how you wrote! 

6,140 people published at least one blog post during the challenge. A total of 33,639 blog posts were published throughout the month, answering the daily prompts and tagged with #bloganuary. All those posts reached an audience of 6,262,733 readers. That’s more than the population of Denmark!

But that’s just the beginning.

• 401,355 people clicked the “Like” button on Bloganuary posts.
• 34,403 people left comments.
• Posts were written in 11 languages.
• 152 people published blog posts answering all 31 prompts—wow!

Though we’re incredibly proud of all our Bloganuary participants, that last number is especially impressive. Life has a way of getting in the way of any creative pursuit, yet 152 bloggers stared down writer’s block, hectic schedules, overtime at work, family obligations, and who knows what else—and still published a blog post every. Single. Day.

Here’s to you, the winners of Bloganuary 2024!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Bloganuary last month. The community of bloggers grew this year more than ever, and we can’t wait to see who takes on the challenge next year! 

Help us make Bloganuary even better by taking 3 minutes to share your thoughts about the challenge in the survey below:

HTTP/3 is the third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol used to exchange information on the web. It is built on top of a new protocol called QUIC, which is set to fix some limitations of the previous protocol versions. Without getting into technical details—though feel free to do so in the comments if you have questions—our users should see performance improvements across all metrics:

• Reduced latency. Due to faster connection establishment (i.e. fewer round-trips), latency from connection setup is lower.

• Multiplexing. That is, using a single connection for multiple resources. While this feature is present in HTTP/2, HTTP/3 has improved on it and fixed a problem called “head of line blocking.” This is a deficiency of the underlying protocol HTTP/2 was built on top, which requires packets to be in order before relaying them for processing.
• Reliability. Designed to perform better in varying network environments, HTTP/3 uses modern algorithms to help it recover faster from lost data and busy networks.
• Improved security. QUIC uses the latest cryptography protocols (TLSv1.3) to encrypt and secure data. More of the data is encrypted, which makes it harder for an attacker to tamper with or listen in on web requests.

Ultimately, HTTP/3 (on top of QUIC) has been designed to be updated in software, which allows for quicker improvements that don’t depend on underlying network infrastructure.

After about a month of preparing our infrastructure—including fixing bugs and upgrading our CDN—HTTP/3 was enabled for all of Automattic’s services on December 27th, 2023. It currently serves between ~25-35% of all traffic.

And now for some stats. For each of these, we want numbers to be lower after the switch, which ultimately means faster speeds across the board for our customers. Let’s look at three metrics in particular:

• Time to First Byte (TTFB) measures the time between the request for a resource and when the first byte of a response arrives. 
• Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) represents how quickly the main content of a web page is loaded.
• Last Resource End (LRE) measures the time between the request for a resource and when the whole response has arrived.

Improvements look pretty good for fast connections:

• TTFB: 7.3%
• LCP: 20.9%
• LRE: 24.4%

For slow connections, the results are even better:

• TTFB: 27.4%
• LCP: 32.5%
• LRE: 35%

We are dedicated to providing our customer’s websites with the best possible performance. Enabling HTTP/3 is a step in that direction. See you on the QUIC side!

Automattic’s mission is to democratize publishing. To accomplish that, we’re hiring systems engineers to join the best infrastructure team on the planet. Learn more here.

If one of your 2024 goals is to take your career to the next level, it’s worth taking a hard look at your resume. In a world where bots are scanning resumes for keywords, doing something unique—like creating a website just for your resume—is perhaps risky, but can help you stand out from the pack. And even if you aren’t actively looking for a new workplace, having a resume-focused site is great for your personal brand. 

Today, we’re going to show you how to use (nearly) any WordPress.com theme to create a stellar resume website. 

1. Choose a theme. 

For the purposes of your resume site, think less about the structure of the theme and more about the overall aesthetics. Whether you’re going for fun and retro or more buttoned-up, think about your industry and what represents you most clearly. As you’re scrolling through our showcase, pay attention to any theme that stands out before you even really think about it—the one that makes you say, “Ooh, that one is cool.”

2. Publish your resume items as posts. 

Once you select a theme, start adding content. Turn each section of your resume into its own post: 

• Career objective and personal statement 
• Education 
• Work experience #1 
• Work experience #2 
• Work experience #3 
• Certifications, memberships, and additional skills 

Depending on the theme, it may make sense to publish them in a specific order that reads the best on a visual level. For example, put your career objective at the top, then your most recent work experience, etc. You can also edit publish dates to move things around in the way that fits best with the theme you choose. 

3. Add pages 

In addition to utilizing posts that list out your resume items, you should also include at least two pages: 

• About 
• Contact 

On the “About” page, feel free to tell your story in a slightly more casual way—while still maintaining an appropriate level of professionalism for your industry. On the “Contact” page, you can either use our built-in Contact Form block or simply provide your email address. (We don’t recommend putting your phone number directly on your site.)  

You might also want to add additional pages, depending on your career. 

• If you’re a writer or artist, including a “Portfolio” or “Work Examples” page is a good idea.
• For a software engineer, a showcase of projects or code snippets you worked on may be a valuable addition. 
• If you have LinkedIn recommendations or other testimonials of your work, a “Testimonials” page may be in order. 

Finally, no matter your field, pages like “Hobbies” or “Volunteering” can add some personal flavor and show prospective employers that you’re more than just an automaton.  

4. Ship it, and update as needed! 

Once your posts and pages are published, share your site with the world! Or, as we say around here: ship it. Share your shiny new site on social media, include the URL in any doc/PDF resumes you send out (cover letters, too), and add it to your email signature. 

Whether you’re searching for a job or not, be sure to actively update your site with any new jobs, roles, achievements, etc. 

SEO, or search engine optimization, is an essential skill in the digital world, crucial for everyone from beginners to seasoned website operators. Understanding and effectively implementing SEO strategies can dramatically improve your website’s visibility and ranking on search engines, but where do you start?

Join us for our upcoming webinar, “SEO Foundations,” to discover techniques for improving your WordPress.com site’s visibility and attracting more visitors, which will set up a solid base for your online growth.

As with every webinar we offer, there is no cost to join. We conclude all webinars with a live Q&A session, where our Happiness Engineers are ready to answer all your WordPress-related questions.
