LinkedIn URL on Resume

LinkedIn URL on ResumeYou want to have a LinkedIn URL on your resume. If you're not using it, you need to get on that! The profile is one of the most important things for getting an interview and using your LinkedIn URL for your resume makes it very easy to find! Here's how to do it.First, find a way to make your links searchable. Every website on the Internet has to take care of SEO, which means making your pages on LinkedIn searchable. To do this, you'll need to add a 'robots.txt' file to your LinkedIn profile. Google Analytics can give you a lot of useful information about the visitors to your LinkedIn profile, including the URLs from the web pages the visitors came from.After you've done this, you can add a 'link:' in your resource box. The link tells LinkedIn to display the URL that you typed in the search box and to show the link in the search results for that URL. Most people don't even know about this 'robots.txt' file, so the link has to be placed near the top of your resume ! This is not something that most people will notice, but if you want a LinkedIn URL on your resume, it has to be there!As with many other parts of a resume, the best way to display your URL on your resume is with a bullet point. To do this, put an underscore at the end of your URL and copy it into the 'url:' box. Next, copy and paste the full URL from the box into the bullets box (don't forget to change the URL to 'linkedin.com' if it's different), and then put a comma in between the two.Put a question mark in between each paragraph, then choose 'print' when you're done. Your resume is finished! Just print it out, fill it out and put it in a nice folder! Then your next interview is really just a matter of time.Do you know of another way to use a LinkedIn URL on your resume? Want to share some suggestions? Please comment below!
