## 4. Tips

* **Naming Your Files:** Give your files clear and descriptive names so that recruiters know exactly what they are when they click on the link.
* **File Formats:** To ensure optimal accessibility, use common file formats like PDF, DOCX, or PPTX.
* **Using Cloud Links:** Use services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to host documents, presentations, or other relevant files. Ensure the links are public or that permissions are correctly set up so that recruiters can access them without any issues.\
  :point\_right: ***No Cloud Account?*** \
  *If you don’t have an account on a cloud service, you can use an application that allows for secure sharing, tracking, and storage of documents and data spaces while providing real-time analytics to users. Link to the application (See* [external-tools-to-use](https://docs.skillsview.app/resources/external-tools-to-use "mention")*).*
* **Using Keyboard Shortcuts:** To save time and avoid errors, use a snippet tool to quickly insert pre-saved URLs with keyboard shortcuts *(See* [external-tools-to-use](https://docs.skillsview.app/resources/external-tools-to-use "mention")*).*
