Should I Put My Resume on LinkedIn? | Resume Genius

No, you should not put your resume on LinkedIn. Having your resume on Linkedin isn’t necessary because you can list your work experience and skillset directly in your LinkedIn profile. Plus resumes often include personal information, so you could be putting yourself at risk.

However, if you’re using LinkedIn to apply for jobs, you can attach a tailored resume to each specific job posting you apply for. Simply follow these steps:

1. In LinkedIn, click “Jobs” in the menu
2. Click on a job you want to apply for
3. Click “Apply”

After clicking “Apply”, closely follow the instructions. Some companies will accept your resume directly via LinkedIn, and others will prompt you to upload your resume on their own job portal.

A great LinkedIn summary can improve your job prospects.

Recruiters are always inspecting LinkedIn profiles for LinkedIn summaries that meet their hiring needs. Even if you don’t add your resume to LinkedIn, your summary should be kept up to date to make you a more attractive prospect for anyone who lands on your profile.
