For me, definitely not. I want to see what your writing style is like, which is why a summary is important. I need something I can print out and take to the interview.
If you're applying for a job then a CV is pretty much a requirement. You will come across as lazy/disinterested if you tell people everything they need is on linkedin.
- Confusion 16y agoA LinkedIn profile has plenty of fields that demonstrate what someones writing is like, including a summary.
- slantyyz 16y agoThese days I find that people get help (whether it's from a friend or copy/paste from somewhere else) that it's not a very good indicator of their writing or communication skills. Even the cover letter isn't a good example, since many of them are cut and paste jobs. I can't tell you how many people I've interviewed over the phone whose resumes were acceptably well written but couldn't put a sentence together when you talked to them.
- iuguy 16y agoThat's why as part of the interview we get people to write a short set of vulnerability findings from pen test output. It sorts out people who've got canned text from those who can actually write.
