Why Upload Your Resume to LinkedIn?<\/h2>\n

If you already have a LinkedIn account, you may wonder what the point of adding a resume is\u2014can\u2019t employers learn the same thing from looking at your profile? Well, unless you\u2019ve made your entire profile public<\/a>, they can\u2019t see it until you\u2019ve added them as a connection. Making connections is time-consuming and inconvenient in the fast-paced world of hiring, and a public profile puts your privacy at risk.<\/p>\n

You only stand to gain from uploading your resume to LinkedIn, and it only takes a few clicks, so let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

Upload Your Resume to Your LinkedIn Profile<\/h2>\n

One way to showcase your resume<\/a> on LinkedIn is to add it to your profile. This allows your profile viewers to view as well as download your resume.
