AI Thread Summary
Including a QR code in a CV can be seen as potentially useful, but it may also come across as pretentious. The consensus leans towards maintaining a formal and straightforward approach in resumes, avoiding any unnecessary embellishments that could clutter the document. Most companies scan resumes into databases for HR and managerial review, making the inclusion of a QR code less relevant unless applying to a job specifically related to QR code services.

Should I include a QR code in a CV?

Potentially useful, but maybe it could be construed as being a little pretentious.

Any thoughts?

No. Keep it formal, dry, clear and accessible. Don't try to stand out using 'fancy' add-ons. The less clutter, the better.
 
companies typically scan your resume into a database that is referenced by HR and managers looking for prospective candidates.

The only time a QR code might be useful is if the job or company you were applying to specialized in them like provided QR code services...
