This is anecdotal but if you can, create a LinkedIn account and put your resume there. That's the only good thing about posting your resume there. I think the market will correct itself in Q2(2023).

However the really irreplaceable thing is having visible connections to people at past or current jobs. I feel like this shows you're an actual person who has worked at the places you say you've worked at and aren't just making things up on your resume. Maybe that's just me, though, because no one else seems to hype up that part of it.
- ghaff 4y agoFor me the value of LinkedIn is 1.) A self-updating Rolodex given that actual Rolodexes and business cards, for the most part, don't exist any longer and 2.) Because people expect you to have one. That said, the information I have on LinkedIn is very scanty and I've never used it for job hunting although I've (very rarely) responded to recruiters who reached out to me.
