Should I Copy and Paste My Resume to My LinkedIn Profile?
Sure, you can copy and paste your resume into your LinkedIn profile but I wouldn’t recommend it. Your LinkedIn profile and resume should complement one another and fit together like pieces of your professional networking and personal branding puzzle but shouldn’t be exactly the same.
If a hiring manager has your resume and wants to do a little research on you, having the exact same information pop up in your profile that they have in their hand is not going to do you any good. Yes, much of the information could be the same but ty to show something more and different in your LinkedIn profile that works with your resume to strengthen your professional brand and the value you offer employers.
Take advantage of some of the features that LinkedIn offers. You can link your website, blog, and twitter to your profile, showcase recommendations and join groups to expand your professional reach.
