# Freelancer Resumes That Win Clients and Contracts

Clients and agencies want to see what you've done and how you work. Your resume is where you organize your experience and point them to your best work.

## How to Structure a Freelancer Resume

Lead with a short summary: what you do (design, dev, copy, etc.) and who you work with (industries, client types). Then experience: you can list "Freelance [Role]" with dates and 2-4 bullets that describe scope and type of work, or list key clients/projects with outcomes.
Include a prominent portfolio or samples link. Clients and agencies will click; make sure the link works and the work is your best. Testimonials or "Selected clients" can go in a short section.

## Resume and Portfolio for Freelancers

Your resume gets you on the shortlist; your portfolio gets you the project. Link your portfolio in the header. Keep resume and portfolio consistent--same name, same focus. Update both when you complete work you're proud of.
One page is usually enough. If you have many years or diverse work, two pages is acceptable--but every line should support the type of work you want more of.
