You better be confident of the site content though, if pushing beyond a simple means of exchanging contact details.

He didn't even get the irony when said QR code was sent to him in an e-mail which arrived on his iPad, that he had to take a photo of with his iPhone so he could then scan it back into his iPad.
As for the original question about Hyperlinks in documents:

Some websites have absolutely no useful information on the company.

Yes, I have links to Github and StackOverflow profiles. They can find plenty more links just doing a google search anyway.
Not sure if anybody really clicks them, but...

So the 'Before & After' images of my previous client's websites together with testimonials re. increased ROI sell my skills better than an hour's interview blathering.

Giving URL to personal Ltd website at interview?

QR codes appear to be used extensively in the States. I was rather surprised to see them on many adverts, even billboards. I have a QR reader app on my phone, but I think I fire it up once a year and then it doesn't do much but open a webpage.

Originally posted by FrontEnder View PostQR codes are largely useless - hardly anyone has a barcode scanner app and even less are bothered enough to open in to scan it.
Mildly incorrect, in my experience.
My local cricket club has QR Codes at the bottom of the signs and on the back of the fixtures card. These link to pages on the website, and having looked at the stats for those pages we are getting a reasonable volume of hits from them.
Most people I know have barcode scanner aps, whether it is to check prices, remember wine drunk in restaurants, etc. They are quite useful.

Why not put a QR code on it, so they just need to use their phone/tablet's camera to take them to a website.
Just make sure you get it right.

I suppose you could put a web location in your details section, but yeah, I expect an agency would remove that stuff when they sent on your CV
