Keep LinkedIn and Your Resume Consistent

Recruiters open LinkedIn after the PDF. If titles, employers, or years disagree, they assume one of the documents is sloppy. The resume can be shorter and more tailored; it should not invent a different history.

Match these fields

• Company names and job titles (same spelling).
• Start and end years. Months can be slightly less precise on LinkedIn, but not contradictory.
• Degree name and institution.

What can differ

LinkedIn can hold a longer About section, more posts, and extra projects. The resume should keep only the jobs that fit this application. You can drop an old part-time role from the PDF and still leave it on LinkedIn.

URL on the resume

Add your LinkedIn URL in the MineResume header. Use a custom slug if you have one. Test that the PDF link opens. Do not put the URL only as a blue word “LinkedIn” with no actual href.
