How to Add a Resume to LinkedIn (How to Upload a Resume)

Your LinkedIn profile provides an overview of everything in your work history. LinkedIn is more of a networking site than a way to formally approach companies about who you are and why you’re a good fit for a particular job. A resume provides information about your background that is more targeted to the job you want, and includes more in-depth information about the skills and experience that are important for a particular job. Additionally, when you send a resume, you usually also send a cover letter.
