How to manage the uploaded resumes on LinkedIn

You can manage your uploaded resumes on LinkedIn through the “Job Application Settings” page. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Login to your LinkedIn account and click on the Me icon.
  2. Click on Settings & privacy, then select Data privacy.
  3. Scroll down to the Job application settings section.
  4. Click on the three dots next to your uploaded resume(s) and select Delete resume to remove it.
  5. Alternatively, you can also Upload a new resume by clicking on the “Upload resume” button.

Resume Storage and Reuse

LinkedIn allows you to store up to four recently uploaded resumes. This enables you to reuse resumes for future job applications if you’re applying through LinkedIn and not through a company’s website.

Resume Sharing with Recruiters

You can opt-in to share your uploaded resume with recruiters. To do so:

  1. Apply for a job on LinkedIn.
  2. You’ll be prompted to share your resume data with all recruiters. Toggle on Share your resume data with recruiters.
  3. Alternatively, you can also toggle this setting on/off from the Job Application Settings page.

Resume Visibility

Your uploaded resume is private to you, unless you opt-in to share it with recruiters. If you upload a resume while applying for a job, it will be visible to that employer. If you upload a resume to your profile, it will be visible to viewers of your profile.

Viewing and Downloading Used Resumes

For Easy Apply jobs, you can download and view the resume you used for a job application directly from the job posting. This can help you determine if you submitted the correct resume.

Remember to regularly review and update your uploaded resumes to ensure they accurately reflect your skills and experience.
