First, no it does not. Just last week, when coaching + putting final <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/7-reasons-not-to-copy-someone-elses-linkedin-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">content strategy touches on a senior exec&#8217;s LinkedIn profile<\/a>, it reinforced for me both the VALUE + LIMITATIONS of LinkedIn. Client has had minimal need for <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/linkedin-personal-branding-executive-job-search\/\">a robust LinkedIn profile<\/a> in her tight-knit industry where networking + word-of-mouth, including conference leadership, etc., have spurred career advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When her search began, the career RESUME story was the primary career tool to launch her message, followed by LinkedIn. And, while we both were excited at the opportunities for <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-use-video-for-job-search-and-personal-branding\/\">adding YouTube videos<\/a> + other media to LinkedIn that complemented her story (by the way, and I know I&#8217;m speaking to the choir, those can be added into a Word story, too), my client discovered the limitations on #s of characters, methods of formatting + order of key strategic information. While I&#8217;m acutely aware of this, many execs are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, there is sensitive information that she would include on her resume, etc., inappropriate for public LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the strategy to build a robust resume shouldn&#8217;t be shortcut; the essential nature of that strategy feeds LinkedIn, not the other way around. Thank you for including me in the &#8216;ask,&#8217; Meg! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Wendy Schoen (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/schoenlegalsearch\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Wendy Schoen<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me, an <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/why-the-right-executive-recruiters-ignore-your-linkedin-profile-and-you\/\">executive recruiter<\/a> get my two cents in. There are only a very few individuals who can get away with no resume. And those that can usually have a well-developed firm or company bio that can stand in its stead. The potential employer ALWAYS wants something in hand to which they can refer when trying to learn about the person coming to see them. And, while LinkedIn profiles are great, they rarely give all the goods that either an employer or a candidate want on the table..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These items need to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me repeat: Even if your route to a <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-connect-on-linkedin-with-people-you-dont-know-and-get-action\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"122\">job is through a personal connection<\/a>, and even if you are at the very, very top of the organization, the potential employer is STILL going to want to see paper on you to learn who they are being strong-armed into seeing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Adrienne Tom (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adriennetom\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Adrienne Tom<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both LinkedIn and the <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/c-level-executive-resume-length-one-two-or-three-pages\/\">resume play unique roles in an executive<\/a> job search and a resume remains relevant at certain stages of the hiring process. A savvy executive will have both tools well prepared  &#8211; which can be leveraged uniquely in different circumstances to <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/whats-your-executive-career-brand-story\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"123\">tell their story<\/a>, gain visibility, and open doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacqui&#8217;s point that certain, more sensitive details don&#8217;t belong on LinkedIn is very true. A lot of my executive clients would prefer not to disclose all the facts on this public platform. The resume is the best place to house select facts which can then be strategically distributed. I also believe that the resume and LinkedIn should complement one another: each with similar messaging, branding, and value &#8211; but never be direct replicas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dorothy Dalton (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dorothydalton\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dorothy Dalton<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is that old favourite chestnut, Meg, but we live in a fast changing environment and both possibilities have value. The go-to data base for 99% of recruiters is LinkedIn. But a robust CV is still important and no matter how someone submits it, it has to be retrievable, because it will almost certainly be scanned and stored digitally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible to put information on a targeted resume that isn&#8217;t possible in the public domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Europe with GDPR we have to be additionally mindful how long we can store CVs and with whom we share them, which adds another layer of complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So whether someone is a job seeker or an established professional, keeping both a LI profile and a CV updated is vital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lisarangel\/\"><strong>Lisa Rangel<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always a fun topic, Meg. The resume development process will never go out of style, even if the actual document form eventually fades away. The process of being able to position yourself as a premier, qualified candidate will always be needed, regardless of the form it takes, whether it\u2019s a written or verbal fashion.<br><br>Remember when Monster splashed on the recruiting scene in 1999\/2000 and they said the resume was dead then?<br><br>Longest. Death. Ever. LOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Laura Smith-Proulx (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/laurasmithproulx\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Laura Smith-Proulx<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This subject is near and dear to so many of us, Meg, and I&#8217;m glad you asked it. An <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/executive-resume-experts-weigh-in-on-best-resume-writing-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive resume<\/a>, particularly at Board and C-levels, will never go away, even as LinkedIn remains a strong tool in a job hunter&#8217;s arsenal. My clients are constantly navigating how and where to disclose confidential information \u2026 cognizant of their options while striving to be represented in the best light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly all the leaders with whom I engage ask the same thing: how can I update LinkedIn and maintain currency on social media, without giving myself away? How will my Board, shareholders, team, and executive peers look at <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/yikes-my-linkedin-profile-is-missing\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"124\">my LinkedIn Profile<\/a> &#8211; and can they deduce that I&#8217;m in the midst of a search? Privacy and confidentiality are often foremost in the minds of leaders experiencing career transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I might add that those who are vocal about the &#8220;death&#8221; of the resume should consider how they&#8217;d feel if their bosses (or the CEO of any major company in which they do business) were <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/should-you-display-opentowork-on-your-linkedin-profile\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"125\">openly advertising their credentials on LinkedIn<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As others have noted here, there will always be hiring committees, Board members, and other interviewers who aren&#8217;t as interested in reading your online credentials as <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/what-not-to-put-in-your-c-level-executive-resume\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"126\">your resume<\/a>. I can&#8217;t see that changing anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/erinkennedycprw\/\"><strong>Erin Kennedy<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I agree with all of these statements&#8230; especially the sensitive information point.
