LinkedIn can be a really useful tool when it comes to getting your name out there and in front of the right people. It can also help you when it comes to applying for jobs and responding to listings featured on the site.
And in order to take full advantage of these features, it's a good idea to have a resume uploaded to your profile.

To do this, go to your profile page, click the "More" button then select "save to PDF."
But that downloaded resume is likely not as aesthetically pleasing as a resume you created yourself, and it will likely be longer than you want.
So uploading a customized resume to your profile is usually the better option. Plus, it's always a good idea to tailor the information included in your resume to better fit the job you're applying for. That way, you'll stand out in the right ways.
Here's what you need to know in order to upload your resume to your LinkedIn profile.
How to upload your resume on LinkedIn

Your resume will now appear on your profile as a thumbnail, which people can then click and download.
You can always go back in and upload a new resume when it's time, or remove your current resume if it no longer makes sense for you to have it on your LinkedIn profile.
