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
- newnewpdro 8y agoIt 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.
- werber 8y agoCEEV is a great resource for this.

- richardknop 8y agoIt 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.
