With the help of Resume.ae, you have been
able to draft your perfect resume. Now, you wish to use it in the best possible
manner and share it with as many recruiters as you can. You are also now aware
of LinkedIn as the hub for career opportunities and eagerly post your Resume on
LinkedIn for the world to see. But is that the way to go?
The answer is NO. You may edit sections of
your Resume and put those up on your LinkedIn Profile, but it is not wise to
publish your entire Resume on your profile. Are you now asking why? Here are
three reasons:
·
Some of the LinkedIn users
who decide to check your profile are already well versed with the contents of
your resume. So why have they come to look at your LinkedIn Profile? Because
they are looking for more of YOU – what you do, how visible you are on the
social media platform, how you interact with your connections and so on.
LinkedIn thus becomes a platform where you are allowed to be semi-casual and
the recruiters get a chance to see the true you.
·
Your resume is as long as
an essay for your LinkedIn Profile. Keep in mind that when you browse through
the contents of the Internet, the attention span becomes shorter and shorter.
So make sure that you provide strong content that gets your point across
without the need for too many words.
So how can you use your resume as advantage
for LinkedIn?
Translate the value you would add to your
prospective organization from a Resume format to an online format. You need to
explicitly state how an organization would benefit by employing you and use a
punchy, attention-grabbing headline to communicate the same.
For every position that you include on your
LinkedIn Profile, use highlights from your Resume and keep the content concise
with 6-10 lines. Make sure that you keep use action statements that show what
you achieved during your term at your current or previous employers.
