To download your LinkedIn profile as a PDF resume:
- First, sign into LinkedIn.
- Click on the Me icon under your profile photo, in the top right corner of your LinkedIn homepage.
- Then, click View profile from the dropdown menu. Your profile page will appear.
- Next, click the More... button in the top section of your profile (slightly below your photo).
- Select Save to PDF from the dropdown menu.
- Finally, your PDF will be downloaded and saved to the default download location on your laptop or computer.
- Go to the sign up page.
- Click on the blue button labeled Sign in with LinkedIn located at the bottom of the sign up page.
- Next, fill in your LinkedIn email and password and click the blue Allow access button.
- You will automatically be redirected to the first page of the sign up and registration process. Most of your information will already be filled in, so you can enter any additional info that you would like to include on your resume and continue through the 5 step signup.
- Once you click the green Finish button on the final page of signup and registration, you will be directed to your new onlineresume.us account and dashboard.
As you can see, the PDF download from LinkedIn is awfully plain and hardly catches one’s eye. You do not have any way to rearrange the format of the PDF resume or choose from different colors and designs. It would be quite difficult to stand out from the crowd with such a basic resume.
