LinkedIn是最大的专业网络之一，也是最好的求职网站之一(job search sites)。虽然它的主要目的是连接招聘人员和寻找工作的人，但您也可以使用它来追踪某人(track someone down)或找出谁在网上寻找您(find out who’s looking for you online)。
如果您使用此网络寻找新工作，您可能会遇到一些问题，例如如何在LinkedIn上添加或更新您的简历。不过，您首先应该问自己的问题是您是否应该在LinkedIn上上传您的简历。
你应该把你的简历添加到LinkedIn吗？(Should You Add Your Resume To LinkedIn?)
起初，答案似乎很明显——当然，您应该将您的简历附加到您的LinkedIn个人资料中。您在网络上的个人资料的唯一目的是为您找到一份工作(land you a job)。
将您的简历添加到LinkedIn可以通过多种方式提供帮助：
- 您未来的雇主无需滚动浏览您的LinkedIn个人资料即可找到他们所需要的信息。这一切都浓缩在一页摘要中，即您的简历。
- 它使雇主可以快速访问您的联系方式。如果他们有兴趣，他们可以直接与您联系，避免在网络上进行长时间的对话。
- 您的LinkedIn个人资料可能相当广泛，展示了您过去在不同工作领域的所有专业技能和经验。但是你的简历可以是一个缩小版，适合你正在寻找的工作。
- 最后，您已经付出了很多努力来创建一份有吸引力的简历(creating an attractive resume)，说明您的才能和成就。为什么不向你潜在的未来雇主炫耀呢？
但是，将您的简历附加到您的LinkedIn个人资料中可能存在一些您不应忽视的缺点。
其中最大的一个是冒着您的个人数据在网上公开共享的风险。(personal data being shared publicly)上传简历后，您将无法再控制谁下载并访问您的私人信息，例如您的电子邮件地址、电话号码，甚至可能是您的实际地址。这也意味着LinkedIn上的每个人现在都可以随意下载、复制和使用你的简历(use your resume)。
在将简历添加到LinkedIn(LinkedIn)之前，您应该考虑的另一件事是，如果您有一份简历，您当前的雇主会是什么样子。当您上传简历时，您在LinkedIn(LinkedIn)上的求职状态将变为活动状态。这可能会向您当前工作地点的同事发送错误信息。
总而言之，一旦你上传了你的简历，它就会发出一条信息，表明你正在积极寻找工作。一些招聘人员可能会觉得它很方便（你的简历就在你的LinkedIn页面上），而另一些人可能会觉得它很绝望。归根结底，取决于您认为最适合建立您的LinkedIn形象的方法。
如何将您的简历添加到 LinkedIn(How To Add Your Resume To LinkedIn)
如果在您考虑了将简历添加到您的LinkedIn(LinkedIn)个人资料的所有利弊之后，您仍然想这样做，这里是如何上传您的简历。

How To Add Or Update Your Resume On LinkedIn
LinkеdIn is one of the largest profеssional networks and one of the best job search sites. While its main purpose is connecting recruiters and people searching for jobs, you can also use it to track someone down or to find out who’s looking for you online.
If you’re using this network to find a new job, you might run across some issues, like how to add or update your resume on LinkedIn. Although, the question you should ask yourself first is whether you should be uploading your resume on LinkedIn at all.
Should You Add Your Resume To LinkedIn?
At first, the answer seems obvious – of course, you should attach your resume to your LinkedIn profile. The sole purpose of your profile on the network is to land you a job.
Adding your resume to LinkedIn can help in more ways than one:
- Your future employer doesn’t need to scroll through your LinkedIn profile to find the information they’re after. It’s all condensed in a one-page summary that is your resume.
- It gives the employer quick access to your contact details. If they’re interested, they can contact you directly avoiding long conversations on the network.
- Your LinkedIn profile is probably rather broad, displaying all your past professional skills and experience in different work spheres. But your resume can be a narrowed-down version of that, tailored to the job you’re searching for.
- Finally, you already put so much effort into creating an attractive resume that speaks about your talents and accomplishments. Why not show it off to your potential future employers?
However, there can be some downsides to attaching your resume to your LinkedIn profile that you shouldn’t ignore.
The biggest one of them is risking your personal data being shared publicly online. Once you upload your resume, you will no longer have any control over who downloads it and gets access to your private information, like your email address, phone number, maybe even your physical address. It also means that everyone on LinkedIn can now download, copy, and use your resume as they wish.
One more thing you should consider before you add your resume to LinkedIn is what it will look like to your current employer if you have one. When you upload your resume, your job search status on LinkedIn becomes active. That may send the wrong message to your colleagues at your current place of employment.
All in all, once you upload your resume, it sends a message that you’re actively looking for a job. Some recruiters might find it handy (that you have your resume right on your LinkedIn page), while others might find it desperate. In the end of the day, it’s up to you what you think works best for building your LinkedIn presence.
How To Add Your Resume To LinkedIn
If, after you consider all the pros and cons of adding your resume to your LinkedIn profile, you still want to do it, here is how to upload your resume.
Before, you used to be able to add your resume to the summary section of your LinkedIn profile. Now the layout has changed, and you have to add your resume to the Featured section to have it displayed on your profile.
- On your profile, either scroll down to the Featured section or tap the Add profile section button.
- From the pop-up menu, choose Media.
- Find your latest resume on your computer, and select Open. Make sure your document has a clear name like your name + resume.
- After you click save, your resume will be featured on your LinkedIn profile.
How To Upload Your Resume For Easy Apply Applications
LinkedIn offers a second (and less obvious) option for adding your resume to your profile. You can save up to three different resumes when applying for jobs on LinkedIn using the Easy Apply function.
To save your resume when applying for a job on LinkedIn, follow the steps:
- From LinkedIn’s navigation bar, select Jobs.
- From the positions offered, find one that has the Easy Apply icon on it. Those are the jobs that you can quickly apply to using a saved resume on LinkedIn.
- When prompted, click Upload Resume and attach your latest resume to the application. If you’re using different resumes for different positions, make sure to use distinctive names for each of your saved resumes.
How To Update Your Resume On LinkedIn
One thing you want to look out for when having your resume on your LinkedIn profile is making sure it’s always up to date. You don’t want to seem sloppy to your future employers with a resume that’s a few years (or few jobs) old.
To update your resume on LinkedIn, you’ll have to delete your old one and upload a new document. Once you have your updated resume ready, go to the Featured section of your profile.
Click on the resume you’d like to replace, and select Delete. Once you delete the item, follow the steps described under the How To Upload Your Resume On LinkedIn section of this article.
To avoid any confusion from potential recruiters, keep an eye on your resume on LinkedIn and make sure it’s always fresh and up to date.
Build Up Your LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn is a great network for anyone looking to further their career. Even the basic free version allows you to showcase your professional skills and accomplishments, paint the best picture of yourself for any potential employers, and apply for as many positions as you like. That of course though takes time and effort.
If you’re looking to jump over a few steps straight to the top of the career ladder, consider investing in LinkedIn Premium. The Career tier comes with a lot of useful perks like applicant statistics and visibility insights that will help you upgrade your LinkedIn profile.
