In this Itechguide, Victor teaches you how to add a resume to LinkedIn.
Before you upload your resume to LinkedIn, it is recommended to name the file using the format – “FirstName-LastName-Resume”. Although you can upload other supported formats, it is also recommended to upload a PDF file.
Option 1: Add Resume from Your Profile
- Open LinkedIn.com from a browser on your Mac or PC.
- Then, to open your profile, on the top left of the page click your profile picture.
- When your LinkedIn profile opens, click the Add profile section drop-down. Then, expand Featured – see the second image below.
- Beneath the expanded Featured section, click Media. To get to Media, you may need to scroll down a bit. When you click Media, your PC will open the file upload screen.
- Navigate to the folder you saved your resume on your PC and double-click it. The file will start uploading to LinkedIn – see the second image below.
- When the resume file is uploaded, LinkedIn will display a preview of the file. Scroll down to the Title and Description.
- The resume title will take the name of the file you uploaded. Change it to the “First Name-LastName-Resume” format. You may also add a description.
