  LinkedIn has been completely useless for me. Not a single time has it been acceptable. I'll link it in an email, and people will ask for me to send a PDF instead. Got a few complaints when I used the "Save as PDF" feature, since it was obviously generated from LinkedIn. shrugs

    It depends on if you're feeding into an HR/sourcing machine or actually talking with the decision makers. The former is just following a script and wants your information in a specific format because that's what the automation demands. The latter is a person who you will either work with or under, they don't care. The latter is the preferable path in my opinion, and personally use the "send me your resume in a specific format" request as a reason to cease contact because of all it implies.

    Its not a CV - its lead gen for your job search.

    It takes 2 clicks to generate PDF from your LinkedIn or StackOverflow profile. Makes no sense to maintain manually written resume when you are already maintaining your employment and experience history on LinkedIn. All the relevant data is in their database, just click the export to pdf button, if somebody insists on PDF, and attach that to the email.

I haven't updated my resume since ~2005; when I re-entered the market looking for a new gig in 2010 and ever since, it's been LinkedIn curation and getting opportunities passed to me from my network 100%.

  Is a double edged sword - I've not updated my resume since 2005 and continually get approached about junior roles, as per my 13 year old CV. If I had been in industry for >10 years and was still looking for junior roles I sure as heck wouldn't be trying to hire me!
