FWIW, I've seen quite a few resumes of software engineers at this point and I would say less than half have LinkedIn on it.
"Can't risk" is interesting, you could say that about anything you could put on your resume if there's a chance it helps, but something like LinkedIn seems just redundant with your resume's content.
- jwagenet 6y agoWhen you are desperate looking for your first job or internship you probably don’t have a great grasp of the hiring process because of conflicting voices on how to get a job. Even if technical forums say don’t bother, career counselors and hr folks seem to place importance on LinkedIn, leading to the “can’t risk” attitude, especially if you don’t have a foot in the door.
- mywittyname 6y agoI don't list my LinkedIn profile on my resume, but I have one and it's under the name used on my resume. Every time I've applied for a job, LI shows n people from $place_I_applied_to has viewed your profile recently. So people definitely use it, even if it isn't on your resume.
