Do you want to know how to upload a resume to LinkedIn?
Well, great news. It's exactly what I'm covering in this video today.
I'm actually going to show you three different places to upload your
resume in LinkedIn. And if you stay all the way to the end,
I have a bonus tip for you.
The first way is using LinkedIn easy apply.
If you were applying for a job on LinkedIn using easy apply,
you'll simply click easy apply, and you'll follow the prompts that you're given.
So you can see here. It's asking for my contact information first.
It auto-populates based on my profile. I click next.
I'll put in my city because it's asking I click next again. A.
nd then I have upload resume. So here I'll just click upload resume, a.
nd then I'm going to choose the resume that I want to upload.
So let's just say in this, my version one resume.
So I'm going to click open and then I would just continue.
The second place to upload your resume on LinkedIn is.
one that I think not a lot of people actually know about
and it's actually in your job seeker settings. So to get there,
what you'll do is you'll go to either hover
or click on your profile icon and go to settings and privacy.
This is going to open up a new tab here,
here you're going to go to job seeking preferences, click there,
and then you have a job application settings here.
You're going to click change and you are going to be able to
see the resumes that have already been uploaded and stored in LinkedIn.
And you can even upload a new resume in LinkedIn right here.
So here I can grab another version of my resume, click open.
If I finish applying for that other job, it would have been there.
And just an FYI, the really cool thing about having your resume stored here.
Especially if you have different versions.
you're applying for slightly different roles,
is that you can actually save your resume here.
And then when you do use easy apply,
you can remove the default and choose which resume to apply with.
There is one more place that you can upload your resume on LinkedIn.
So if you're wondering, should I upload my resume onto LinkedIn?
This is a third option. It's one that I don't generally recommend,
but if you do have a highly designed, very graphical resume,
this is actually a great option for you.
And it is directly onto your profile where you'll do this is you're going
to go into LinkedIn and go to your profile.
So I will click from here view profile.
And this brings me to my actual profile.
Now I'm going to choose, add profile section.
And what I'll do is I'm going to expand to the featured section
and I'm going to choose beside media.
I'm going to click that plus button.
And this is going to allow me to choose a media of my choice.
So here I'm going to choose my resume. And just by the way,
this is like a placeholder resume from one of my programs,
but you will see that it is going to upload the actual resume.
And then the title is to default to the name of the actual file.
So you can see that I have it here by default.
It is going to be the name of the file. You're going to want to change that.
What I recommend is putting something like your name and resume.
on the target job title, what you're looking for, then I'm going to click
save and it is going to be now you can see that it is in my
profile and it is featured prominently on my profile.
So now what you need to do with your resume on your profile is.
Get the right person to visit your profile and make sure
that they are swooning over your professional awesomeness,
which obviously you're going to want to make sure is it fully
showcased in your LinkedIn profile? I do have a series coming up.
So if you haven't already clicked the subscription button,
I'm the notification bell. So you don't miss it and head over now to
video where I'm going to give you eight tips to stand out on LinkedIn.
If this helps you upload your resume to LinkedIn, give it some thumbs up love.
