A LinkedIn profile is a professional social media profile that helps you manage your personal brand, connect with colleagues, network with other professionals, and find the right jobs and opportunities to advance your career. On your LinkedIn profile, you can list your work experience, skills, education, interests, licenses and certifications, and more. You can also give and receive recommendations and endorsements. A resume lists the work history, skills, and education that are relevant to a specific job. Think of your LinkedIn profile as the summary of your entire career and personal brand, and your resume as a customizable document that looks different for every position that you apply for.
