Thinking of Adding Linkedin Link to Your Resume?

April 8, 2008 By Miriam Salpeter

Have you considered adding a hyperlink to your LinkedIn profile on your resume or other job-search correspondence?  If so, keep these tips in mind:

  • Make sure your LinkedIn and your resume match up 100%.  Sometimes, since it’s “just LinkedIn,” job seekers are not as careful about dates and details as they would be on a resume. You don’t want any discrepancies to raise red flags.
  • Spend as much time making your LinkedIn profile perfect as you do your resume.  Neither should have typos or careless errors.
  • Enhance your linkedin profile.  Be sure to optimize your online materials, as many recruiters source from that pool.
  • Be aware that potential employers use LinkedIn resources to find out about you.  Granted, this is true whether or not you offer the link, but if you have a profile and offer the link, be sure you don’t mind people following up with common connections without your knowledge.
  • Be careful about what information you make public.  For example, if you’ve asked a lot of questions about job hunting, you may not want to make your list of questions public on your LinkedIn profile.

If you have a strong profile, solid connections to colleagues and employers and have spent time enhancing your LinkedIn image, you will be prepared to use this network as a job-hunting tool.

I can help you with your LinkedIn profile, your resume and coach you through every step of your job hunt.
