How to Add Resume to Linkedin

To add your resume to LinkedIn, you have a few options depending on where you want it to appear:


✅ Option 1: Add Resume to “Featured” Section (Best for Visibility)

This makes your resume visible on your profile.

  1. Go to your LinkedIn profile.
  2. Scroll to the “Featured” section.
    • If you don’t see it, click “Add profile section” > “Recommended” > “Add featured”.
  3. Click the “+” icon > “Add media”.
  4. Upload your resume (PDF format is best).
  5. Add a title and description (optional but helpful).
  6. Click Save.

✅ Option 2: Upload Resume When Applying for Jobs on LinkedIn

This keeps your resume private and is only visible to employers.

  1. Find a job posting you want to apply to.
  2. Click “Easy Apply.”
  3. Fill in the required details.
  4. When prompted, upload your resume.
  5. Submit your application.

You can also:

  • Save your resume for future applications by checking the “Save my resume and information for future applications” option.

✅ Option 3: Add Resume as a Post (Less Common)

This adds it to your feed, but it’s not the most professional method.

  1. Go to the LinkedIn homepage.
  2. Click “Start a post.”
  3. Write a short message and click the paperclip icon to attach your resume.
  4. Post it.

Tips:

  • Always use a PDF version of your resume.
  • Avoid posting personal information like your full address or phone number in public uploads.
  • Tailor your resume to your LinkedIn profile and job targets.
