The answer is that it depends. For IT and technical candidates, having a QR code on your resume or business card can help to differentiate you from other job seekers. Think about it...companies are looking to hire tech savvy people. Setting up your own personal QR code to direct your audience to your personal website, blog, or other Web page communicates that you are up to speed on "new" technologies.
Of course, as a job seeker, you must have online content that you want a prospective employer to see that adds credibility and improves your value proposition. If there is nothing relevant to point them toward, having a QR code doesn't aid your cause.
Included below is a sample QR code for me, Stephen Van Vreede. I am able to control the information that people see about me through a "Google Me" service.
