Thinking of Adding Linkedin Link to Your Resume -

Thinking of Adding Linkedin Link to Your Resume - 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 its just LinkedIn, job seekers are not as careful about dates and details as they would be on a resume. You dont 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 dont mind people following up with common connections without your knowledge. Be careful about what information you make public.   For example, if youve 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.
