Links, portfolios and online profiles
Should I include my LinkedIn profile on my resume?
Yes, if your profile is complete, up to date and consistent with your resume. Many recruiters look candidates up anyway, and a link saves them the search while showing you have nothing to hide.
Include it when:
- Your profile has a clear photo or none, a headline, your work history and matching dates.
- The details agree with your resume: titles, employers and dates.
- It adds something, such as recommendations, posts or a fuller project history.
Leave it out, or fix the profile first, if it is half-finished, years out of date, or contradicts your resume. An inconsistent profile can raise more questions than having no link at all.
Put the link in your contact line, written as a short custom address such as "linkedin.com/in/omar-haddad". It is optional in most countries and roles, so its absence will not usually count against you.
