Why an online portfolio, even outside creative jobs
Before an interview, many recruiters search for the candidate's name online. What they find adds to your CV, or contradicts it. An online portfolio is the page you choose to show them.
Show rather than describe
A project, a photo from a building site, a school assignment, a figure you achieved on an internship: what takes one line on a CV finally gets some room.
A link to put everywhere
On your CV, your LinkedIn profile, your email signature, or as a QR code on a printed CV and a careers fair badge.
What you are looking for, said clearly
The type of contract, the start date and the town you are aiming for, at the top of the page. The recruiter knows straight away whether you fit.
Stand out among similar profiles
For an apprenticeship or a first job, CVs look alike. A polished site in your name makes the difference at shortlisting time.
Create your portfolio in 4 steps
A few minutes, without writing a line of code.
Start from your CV
Experience, education, skills and introduction are taken from your Joblio profile. Nothing to retype.
Choose a template
Each template is shown with your own content. You can switch at any time without losing anything.
Fine-tune in the editor
Add projects and photos, reorder sections, pick a colour. The preview is your real site, on computer and phone alike.
Publish when you are ready
Your site stays private until you press Publish. After that, it only changes when you publish again.
A template designed for your profession
An accountant's portfolio doesn't look like a graphic designer's. Each of the 27 templates borrows an object from the profession, and its animations stop for visitors who ask for reduced motion.
- Registre: accounting, management, banking, legal, HR.
- Surligné: sales, marketing, and every profession.
- Chantier: construction, crafts, industry, logistics.
- Soin: healthcare, social work, early years.
- Console and Éther: development, networks, data, cybersecurity, AI.
- Atelier, Matière and Origami: graphic design, product design, architecture, fine crafts.
- Une, Fil and Onde: journalism, communications, events, broadcasting, music.
- Escale, Cinétique, Aurore and Constellation: tourism, retail, consulting, finance, sciences.
What Joblio does that website builders don't
Filled in from your CV
When your profile changes, Joblio offers to add the new item to your site. It adds, it never replaces what you have written.
An address in your name
Your site goes live at firstname-surname.joblio.page. If you change the address, the old one redirects to the new one for 30 days.
Private by default
Publishing and being findable on Google are two separate choices. Your phone number and town stay hidden until you choose to show them.
One version per type of role
With Premium, up to 5 versions of your site, each at its own address, bringing forward what matters for a specific role. The content stays the same, the AI only suggests an order.
Share in one click
A link ready for LinkedIn and your emails, a QR code to download, and the address added to your signature and your next CVs.
Visits, without spying on anyone
You see how many people opened your site and where they came from (QR code, LinkedIn, email). Anonymous totals: no visitor is identified.
Advanced mode: your site, placed to the pixel
With Premium, you no longer just choose a template: you compose it.
A well-made template is enough for most candidates. For those who want a page unlike any other, advanced mode frees up the layout: every section and every element of the template can be moved, rotated and resized right in the preview.
Place everything with the mouse
Select a section, a heading, a photo or a button, then drag, rotate, stretch. The arrow keys adjust it to the pixel.
Alignment guides
Whatever you move snaps to the edges and centres of other elements, and equal spacing is flagged. Size and position are shown in pixels as you move.
Decorations drawn for your template
Each template has its own library of shapes, drawings and backgrounds, to place wherever you like, recolour and animate.
Layers to stay in control
Every element on the page appears in a list: you find it, hide it, lock it or bring it in front of another. Everything can be undone with a shortcut.
Readable on a phone
On a phone screen, the content returns to its place to stay readable. A Phone view shows you the result before you publish.
What should go in an online portfolio?
What you are looking for
Contract, start date, town. In one sentence, right at the top.
Three to six projects
For each one: the context, what you did yourself, and the result. An image beats a long text.
Your background in brief
The experience and education relevant to the role you want. The detail stays in the CV, which the site can offer as a download.
A way to reach you
An email address and a LinkedIn link are enough. The contact button should be visible without searching for it.
Fewer projects, better presented. A recruiter spends a few minutes on a portfolio: three well-explained pieces of work say more than fifteen thumbnails with no caption.
The mistakes that make people close the page
- A site that is unreadable on a phone: plenty of recruiters open your link on theirs. Joblio templates are designed for phones first.
- Projects with no context: an image alone doesn't say what you did, or who with.
- Out-of-date information: a site announcing an internship search that ended a year ago does more harm than no site at all.
- Personal details on show: your home address has no place on a public site.
- A link that leads nowhere: check your address before printing it on a CV.

Frequently asked
questions
Is the online portfolio really free?
Yes. The Free plan includes a one-page site with six templates, with no card and no end date. A discreet "Site made with Joblio" mention appears in the footer, on every plan.
Do I need to know how to code or design?
No. The site is filled in from your CV and edited in a visual editor: you click a section to change it and drag to move it. With Premium, advanced mode goes further: every element can be placed, rotated and resized to the pixel, still with no code.
Will my portfolio appear on Google?
Only if you decide so. A published site is first visible to people who have the link. The "Also findable on Google" box offers it to search engines.
Can I use my own domain name?
Not for now. Your site is published at an address in your name ending in .joblio.page, which you can change.
What's the difference between a portfolio and a CV?
The CV sums up your background on one page, to be sorted quickly. The portfolio shows what you have done, with images and context. The two go together: your site can offer your CV as a PDF, and your CV can show the link to your site.
Is a portfolio useful for an apprenticeship?
Yes, all the more because candidates often have little experience to put on a CV. A well-presented school project and a clear sentence on the work-study schedule you want help the recruiter picture you in the role.
